The Elements - Tom Lehrer[00:00:00]
Now if I may digress momentarily from the mainstream of this[00:00:00]
Evening's symposium [00:00:04]
I'd like to[00:00:05]
Sing a song which is completely pointless [00:00:07]
But is something which I picked up during my career[00:00:10]
As a scientist [00:00:13]
This may prove useful to some of you some day [00:00:14]
Perhaps in a somewhat bizarre set of circumstances [00:00:16]
It's simply the names of the chemical elements[00:00:20]
Set to a possibly recognizable tune [00:00:22]
There's antimony arsenic aluminum selenium[00:00:34]
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium[00:00:36]
And nickel neodymium neptunium germanium[00:00:38]
And iron americium ruthenium uranium[00:00:40]
Europium zirconium lutetium vanadium[00:00:42]
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium[00:00:44]
And gold protactinium and indium and gallium[00:00:46]
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium[00:00:48]
There's yttrium ytterbium actinium rubidium[00:00:52]
And boron gadolinium niobium iridium[00:00:54]
And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium[00:00:56]
And bismuth bromine lithium beryllium and barium[00:00:58]
Isn't that interesting[00:01:04]
I knew you would [00:01:08]
I hope you're all taking notes [00:01:10]
Because there's going[00:01:12]
To be a short quiz next period [00:01:12]
There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium[00:01:15]
And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium[00:01:17]
And manganese and mercury molybdenum magnesium[00:01:19]
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium[00:01:21]
And lead praseodymium and platinum plutonium[00:01:23]
Palladium promethium potassium polonium[00:01:25]
And tantalum technetium titanium tellurium[00:01:27]
And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium[00:01:30]
There's sulfur californium and fermium berkelium[00:01:34]
And also mendelevium einsteinium nobelium[00:01:36]
And argon krypton neon radon xenon zinc and rhodium[00:01:38]
And chlorine carbon cobalt copper tungsten tin and sodium[00:01:40]
These are the only ones of which[00:01:44]
The news has come to Harvard[00:01:46]
And there may be many others[00:01:48]
But they haven't been discovered[00:01:49]
Now may I have the next slide please[00:02:05]
