The Philosophers Song
The verse I learned was, "Great Empedocles, to prove his soul, jumped into Aetna and was roasted whole."
And apropos of the barber paradox, seems to me that after all that heavy discussion, we could make very profitable use of Occam's razor

Thanks for the reference, tsuwm. There were several versions of this song sung by MP on tour. This doesn't mean that I'm saying my quote was correct, though. The best one was at a concert in LA. Idle was clearly right off his face on something very, very nice, because he went right through the show with a stupid smile on his face.
