The Elements

"The Elements" (1959) is a song by musical humorist Tom Lehrer, which recites the names of all the chemical elements known at the time of writing, up to number 102, nobelium. It can be found on his albums More Songs by Tom Lehrer and An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer. The song is sung to the tune of the Major General's Song from The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan.[1]

The song is also included in the musical revue Tom Foolery, which also includes many of Lehrer's other songs.

    My grade 9 applied Science students love this video. Some of them found it while doing an online video and podcast search for an independent study project.
