Periodic table of the elements part 1
On 15 sep 2006 I posted the song The elements by Tom Lehrer in a flash animation by US Dallas man Mike Stanfill. Look at Tom Lehrer
I found some more on Youtube which are worth to listen/look to.
So here we go !
This is (partially) Tom's live version.
I must have been quite crazy (or maybe still am) in the sixties because I knew this table of elements (with all the positive/negative info) also out of head... :-)
This is Tom Lehrer's studio recording.
There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium,
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium,
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium,
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium
And gold, protactinium and indium and gallium (inhale)
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium
There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium,
And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium,
And strontium, and silicon, silver, and samarium,
And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium, and barium
and so on as you all will remember the periodic table so well ..... plus the end :
These are the only ones of which the news has come to Hah-vard.
And there may be many others but they haven't been dis-cah-verd.
