Good job, Jamie, you're the latest winner of the Silver Squirrel award, with your correct answer that "Australia Australia Australia, we love ya!" is from a Monty Python skit. Specifically, the Bruces skit, AKA the Philosophers song skit.
This remains one of my favorites, and it shows just how clever and intelligent the Pythons were and are. I can't hear a mention of one of these philosophers without this song going through my head. Lyrics first, then video. I hope you'll join in and sing along--it's a very catchy tune!
The Philosophers Song
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya John Stuart Mill, of his own free will Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed
Who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel
'Bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed
With half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram
And René Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink, therefore I am"
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed
