[ti:The Elements] [ar:Tom Lehrer] [al:In Concert] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Elements - Tom Lehrer [00:00.65]Now if I may digress momentarily from the mainstream of this [00:04.02]Evening's symposium [00:04.76] [00:05.36]I'd like to [00:05.92] [00:07.88]Sing a song which is completely pointless [00:09.60] [00:10.42]But is something which I picked up during my career [00:13.12]As a scientist [00:13.73] [00:14.52]This may prove useful to some of you some day [00:16.95]Perhaps in a somewhat bizarre set of circumstances [00:19.65] [00:20.20]It's simply the names of the chemical elements [00:22.66]Set to a possibly recognizable tune [00:24.33] [00:34.25]There's antimony arsenic aluminum selenium [00:36.17]And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium [00:38.21]And nickel neodymium neptunium germanium [00:39.99]And iron americium ruthenium uranium [00:42.01]Europium zirconium lutetium vanadium [00:44.03]And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium [00:46.09]And gold protactinium and indium and gallium [00:47.76] [00:48.70]And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium [00:50.74] [00:52.85]There's yttrium ytterbium actinium rubidium [00:54.91]And boron gadolinium niobium iridium [00:56.74]And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium [00:58.91]And bismuth bromine lithium beryllium and barium [01:00.96] [01:04.56]Isn't that interesting [01:05.12] [01:08.36]I knew you would [01:09.16] [01:10.89]I hope you're all taking notes [01:12.07]Because there's going [01:12.55]To be a short quiz next period [01:13.87] [01:15.72]There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium [01:17.77]And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium [01:19.62]And manganese and mercury molybdenum magnesium [01:21.56]Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium [01:23.66]And lead praseodymium and platinum plutonium [01:25.51]Palladium promethium potassium polonium [01:27.28]And tantalum technetium titanium tellurium [01:29.18] [01:30.20]And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium [01:32.42] [01:34.26]There's sulfur californium and fermium berkelium [01:36.40]And also mendelevium einsteinium nobelium [01:38.37]And argon krypton neon radon xenon zinc and rhodium [01:40.66]And chlorine carbon cobalt copper tungsten tin and sodium [01:42.69] [01:44.77]These are the only ones of which [01:46.32]The news has come to Harvard [01:48.70]And there may be many others [01:49.62]But they haven't been discovered [01:51.14] [02:05.86]Now may I have the next slide please
