YAY!!! I *love* that song. Hadn't thought of it in years, though I sang it softly to myself the whole way through my (one and only) trip through A Critique of Pure Reason.
Beats the heck out of having C.O.P.R. running through your head. I think Nietsche had it best about Kant-- "Kant was a man who claimed that the common man was right in language that the common man would never understand."
I remember parsing his sentences, just to figure out what he was getting at.
You know you're in trouble when even German intellectuals have a tough time understanding what he's on about. He's one that couldn't bear to use a simple word when something overblown and unintelligible might do.

I would just turn up the volume....
