Not exactly a book, but entertaining:

http://www.philosong.fr/

Lucretius is already in verse, so he should be comparatively straightforward to set to music. Extracts from Wittgenstein's Tractatus have already been set to music. Would anyone care to write the Kant Concerto?

I think it will have to be a concerto a due voci, so as to put both sides of each conflict of transcendental ideas.

On my travels I found an academic site with philosophy songs. I will have to look it up, edit post and post the link. I like the idea of singing philosophical songs.

Long live the academics who pen philosophy to songs.

O! say can you see by the dawn's early light
What looks re-ed to me, though white it should be gleaming.
Gettier has not been here, in the midst of the night,
It's a sheep not a rock, nor am I René dreaming.
And the meanings out there, Hilary's heartfelt prayer,
Give proof that the vat's just a castle in air.
Yes we can the world, with all qualities save
It is real, I'm naive, bye-bye tenure I'll wave.

O flower of Mary
When will she see your like again
She's had a quale
Red as the ink in pen
Deleting the old
Views physicalist
Now Mary back home
Must think again

* Smiles *

The bums are bare now
The tartan kilt flies in the air
O'er land that is white now
Which those so clearly held
And spoke for quale
Proud sporran standing
The spurtle stirring
Tae think again...

Einigkeit ist Spinoza dank
Gott und Natur, Herz und Hand.
Aber Leibniz sah Monaden
Jed' allein und all' verwandt.
Dank ein' Kreis in Wien gezeichnet
Ist Metaphysik verbannt.
Blüh' im Glanze dieser Logik
Blühe, Kaffee-Kuchen-Land.
