This song is the punchline to a joke, told by Žižek (the philosopher) in his book 'The Plague of Fantasies'. He tells the joke to illustrate the position of right-wing intellectuals, who change the tonality of concrete complaints to an abstract acceptance of the status quo. Žižek (the philosopher) did not write this song. It is a new song performed by Žižek (the band), who have never sung together in public before.Andy Ingamells : Why that monkey washes his balls in my whisky
