Sadly, the last line of Tom Lehrer's "The Elements" is getting more and more out of date as the years go by.

Even the list of new elements at the end of this animation is getting out of date... http://privatehand.com/flash/elements.html

It rhymes with discorvord

Tom Lehrer's immortal periodic elements song, which I first discovered on a Doctor Demento album. And as if that weren't enough, I found a Flash cartoon about the song. http://www.privatehand.com/flash/elements.html Isn't that interesting?

These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard...
...and there may be many others but they haven't been discovered!

Of course we all rememeber Tom Lehrer's The Elements. If you haven't see the flash animation that was made to it, you should, so here it is.

Here's "The Elements" as a flash animation.

The Elements Song by Tom Lehrer

See this. (warning -- Flash animation).

I trust this won't affect The Elements Song by Tom Lehrer. If you've never heard the song, or haven't listened to it since your high school Chemistry teacher played it for you in class, check out the horribly clever Flash animation of the song at privatehand.com.

Ok, everybody sing along now!

tomLehrer.flashSong("The Elements"), a song of the first 109 elements, ending with meitnerium.

There is a very good animated flash version of that song available here .

The irreverent songs of Tom Lehrer, then a young math instructor, were big hits with nerds in the 60s/70s. Some cool modern Flash-guru recently created an animation of Tom Lehrer's song "The Elements."
