This is the original version of my Flash-animated interpretation of Tom Lehrer's "The Elements". The new and updated version, featuring all 118 elements, can be found here: • Tom Lehrer's "The Elem...
2010 update: Nihonium was Ununtrium Flerovium was Ununquadium Moscovium was Ununpentium Livermorium was Ununhexium Tennessine was Ununseptium Oganesson was Ununoctium
i sang this in science class today the same speed and everything and i got 50 extra credit points! go tom leher your awsome the whole thing is brilliant
The first time I've heard this song was during Chemistry class at Drexel. Dr. Longo was a fan. Thanks for posting this along with the updated information.
Roentgenium (1994) Copernicium (1996) Flerovium (1998) Livermorium (2000) The creator of this video was clever enough not to incorporate elements that hadn't been named (confimed) yet. The existence of these four elements wasn't recognised widely until after the creation of this video.
If Tom Lehrer could've waited two years to make his song, Lawrencium could've been in it. And he would've completed the Lanthanide/Actinide block of elements.
SHE WAS TOO SWEET FOR THIS WORLD THE TELECONFERENCING BUT THE SWEETEST CREATURES IN THE SEA WEED TO COLLECT THEIR WATERS SHE COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING LIKE ZEBRA SHE LOVED TO SWITCH ON THE SWIMMING POOLS SHE LOST HER BALANCES WHILE BOTH SPINNING SHE COULD NOT TALK UNNECESSARILY SHE WAS LOST IN THE JUNGLE SHE SWAYED TEN COWS AND PIGS ON THE WATER SHE COULD NOT CHASE OR TAKE SOMETHING IN DIFFERENT PLACES TOO SHE CRIED WITHOUT ANY REASON SHE HAD TO QUACK LIKE THOSE DUCKS TO FEEL SAD
@@privatehand not sure I understand the question. As far as in the periodic table, it's just the rest of the 7th row. If you're talking about in the video, the updated info can go in the comments or description.
One thing I can't figure out is why the animator inserted a picture of Saturn over the word "uranium." This element, of course, got its name from the planet Uranus, which the animator should have used there instead.
already knew this song becasuew well I'm a nerd girl but my Science teacher told us we would have no homework for a week if we learnt it . I already know the half of the first verses and we have to sing it tomorrow not looking to well :s
My science teacher told us that he would hive 25 extra credit points to whoever sings this song in front of the class (points depending on memorization) So far, I've got all the elements up to thallium :D My throat hurts a bit though...
if i can learn this before science is over(then we go to social studies and idk why) and if i do(and i'm probabaly the smartest) i get to "teach the class" as he said and "sit at his desk" he always jokes with me and i don't know if i will. Before this year he said to his classes before that he would give them $1000 but because i'm good at memorizing things (173 digits of pi) he had to change it. sorry for this being so long but i like being annoying. thank you for staying with me. good-bye.
How about at double speed? There is a 2x option now! Lol As if it was already fast enough! Haha 😂 I can imagine it would sound like the chipmunks at 10x speed! 🤣
@privatehand ATTENTION ALL CHEMISTRY NERDS AS OF 11/5/11 WE HAVE TWO NEW FRIENDS FOR THE END SCREEN!!! (1:30) Roentgenium (Rg), #111 Copernicum (Cn), #112
The song is from 1959, when only 102 elements had been discovered. The video is from 2010, when only 111 elements had been officially recognised and named (though 112-118 had been synthesised and were awaiting recognition).
