And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium,
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium,
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium,
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium,
And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium, (gasp)
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.
There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium,
And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium,
And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium,
And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium, and barium.
There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium,
And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium,
And manganese and mercury, molybdenum, magnesium,
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium.
And lead, praseodymium and platinum, plutonium,
Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium,
And tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium, (gasp)
And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium.
There's sulfur, californium and fermium, berkelium,
And also mendelevium, einsteinium, nobelium,
And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc and rhodium,
And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin and sodium.
These are the only ones of which the news has come to Hahvard,
And there may be many others but they haven't been discahvered.

I went to my nephews talent show, and a kid sung this while solving randomly mixed Rubix cubes by the parents
True talent
Did he win?
69 likes xd
Rubik's*
and then the rubiks cubes clapped
This seems like a good song to listen to on repeat for 1 hour while on a drive in New Zealand.
You came from Jet Lag!
I too came from jet lag😂
2 hours
Heck yeahhhhhh though this was my jam as a kid
Definitely
Did anyone else notice that his breath control is PHENOMENAL???
no
Right?
I tried this myself (not fully but pseudo-following along) and I am quite impressed by the breath control, or not proud of my own, or both haha
I like the earlier version better:
There’s Earth and Air and Fire and Water
Cal Q. Lyss you forgot aether
Earth contains all of the elements, air is a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen, fire is not a matter, water is made of hydrogen and oxygen
@@JJean64 r/woooosh
But everything changed when fire attacked
There's earth and fire water air then mud and rock and ash and hair
There's skin and salt and blood and snow and gold and diamonds deep below
There's silver copper iron veins and sun and moon and clouds and rain
Teacher in 9th grade said she would give us 1pt extra credit on our semester final for every element we memorized.. so I memorized this entire song and got like a 150% on the test... that was 4 years ago and I still remember every word 😂
You have completed the 1st step to becoming god
@@littleratman2399 what are the other steps....... asking for a friend of course 😁😁😁
Step 2 memorize every lyric of rap God then get a puppy
@@littleratman2399 yes yes go on 🤔🤔🤔🤔😁😁
Step 3 go to the church and drink holy water then grab a cross and Chuck it into the air you are now a god
Now there's Copernicium, Roentgenium, Flerovium and Bohrium
Darmstadtium, Nihonium, Tennessine and Livermorium
Lawrencium, Oganesson and Hassium, Seaborgium
Meitnerium, Moscvium, Dubnium and Rutherfordium
Considering this song was written in 1959, Lehrers genius remains timeless
Gosh, are there really? I'm very impressed at you knowing, let along setting it down metrically!
Many of which were created in labs, existed for only a fraction of a second, and didn’t have actual names until ~2015
*Seaborgium + Lutetium
@@Jaymac720 half life’s how fun
@@katyvdb5993 Yeah! They used to be called "ununnilium", "unununium", "ununbium", etc. in accordance with Latin prefixes as placeholders before being renamed. Ironically, harder to pronounce than any of the names that replaced them. Also impressed by the way OP laid them down! It could easily be an extension of the song.
HOW TO MEMORIZE THIS IN A WEEK
1. Listen to it 25 times without singing. You can mouth of whisper the lyrics if you want. If you're not doing that, follow along with the words.
2. Once you’ve done Step 1, listen to it another 25 times, now singing with the recording. Make sure to annunciate.
3. If necessary, repeat Step 2.
And there you have it!
THANK YOU
Alternatively practice one verse until you can repeat it without looking at the words. Go do something else. If you still remember it after an hour or two of doing nothing then move onto the next verse and append it to the next, repeating the process. If not then repeat step 1. Will take maybe 2 or 3 days max to learn the whole thing.
Easier said than done
is this how harvard guys have fun?
And then take a few years to learn the piano if you haven’t started already.

Thank you
If I sing this in 8th grade science I get a 100 for everything. Wish me luck.
@HaiLong Zhang some of those have been named properly ie ununoctium is now oganesson
Good luck
Well in that case, I'm leading this. I'm only in 6th so I have plenty time!
I got the same deal in 8th but could only get halfway

+Samantha Rebecca Middleton oh 😅
I memorized 83 lol
nations of the world song, alphabet aerobics, the other alphabet rap song (dunno it's name xD) ionic rap, 😂😂
I remember my 7th grade science teacher sung this whole thing and we were all stunned, still one of my favorite science teachers I've had so far
Omg that was me! JP Winn Chemistry 3rd through 6th periods!
Sure your teacher wasn’t gale
When I was in middle school my science teacher said that if we sang this in front of the whole class we would get extra credit...So of course, being the straight-A student I was (still am lol) I simply HAD to learn this and sing it. And I did! Looking back I don't even know how I did that, it was very awkward and I had to practice it a lot by slowing it down first...but I did it! If your teacher is asking you to do the same, you can do it! I believe in you!!
Jim Parsons apparently had a similar experience when learning it in advance of filming an episode of The Big Bang Theory.
@@jessa.the.artist GOOD FOR YOU👍👏👏👏👏😎
I've gotten 3 verses down, just 48 more hours and I'll be done, Billy!
Ansel Tan me too!
Were you successful?
At least you are actually trying
Hey ron
Ansel Tan so far I have gotten 2 onto 3
Gale you killed it!
I tested those samples Mr. Fring.
rofl, gale is the best!
Better call Saul brought me here so did Big Bang theory
Oh Mr. Fring I wasn't expecting you
There it is. US viewer just learning what a vpn is
My science teacher: we're going to learn the elements. Pay attention, it will be on your final grades.
Teacher: * plays this song once *
Teacher: hope you got that. Good luck.
Literally lol'd XD
me: learns this song
Sheldon: nervous sweating
Lol 😂
LMAO
A PERFECT song for Gale B!!!! Well chosen! He nailed it!
Came looking for a bb fan
Bravo Vince!
The melody is actually from the song "I am the very model of a modern major General" in "Pirates of Penzance"
Oh shit, I never realised!
"The model of a modern major general" that's from something OTHER THAN HAMILTON. Holy shit I am SHOOKETH!
@@emmiebeee123 Hamilton is apparently full of little references to other musicals like this
i thought i was the only one who noticed this
Love when shows give little nods to others. Pirates of Penzance is one of my favorite musicals of all time, so when I hear tunes from it in other media it makes me so happy!
And since it's a classic you hear references to it everywhere!
Especially in kids media, and other musicals
The dislikes are from Sam and Toby's alts 😂
Oh, you’re a scientist? Name every element
The scientist:
This is the best posting of this song on you tube - the others don't give the lyrics - they just list the elements without anyway of matching anything up to the tempo.
Dave Laisure there is another good one and the elements are actually listed in order unlike this one
This one has a better tune, better rhyming, a better accent, and better rhythm! Although the asapscience version is very good and in order. Sung it once in year 8 and the head master came and watched.
@@WatcherLater nah this one sounds way better
@@WatcherLater huh? And so what. “It sounds way better”
@@WatcherLater The icky kiddy version?
If I sing this in chemistry I get an A

same with me but I'm only 12....lol
Update: I got an A yass
In my science class, the person with the lowest score on the test has to sing this.

howdy
I freaking learned this!!!! I feel accomplished

NO WAY😫
The Kids Club If you keep doing something over and over it eventually sticks in your head. If you want to learn it, listen to NOTHING else
ZeldaGamer747
I want to learn this ssoo bad! Then I could go up to my friends and be like, hahsvdjshdbcisbvudbcjdbcj.(that stands for the song) then I would just walk away.😎
The Kids Club Start with the first few lines and work from there. Then progressively learn more and more, little bits at a time. I can sing it with the lyrics and I have the first verse remembered perfectly.
ZeldaGamer747
Ok I'll try that, I already know the first 5 words, and I memorized random lines all around the song.🙂
Ah, Hahvard!!!
Yes!
Love that university
good university, I'm looking to get into Hahvard after I graduate from highschool
Lyrics: spells insanely difficult words
Also lyrics: Hahvard.
I came here from Jet Lag: The Game, they've listened to this song on repeat for around 2hrs😊
Gale Boetticher. better call saul.
Just watched that episode last night!
Yup
Vravo Bince!
Listen to this song at half speed, Tom Lehrer be tripping.
Tristan Campbell yes indeed

Thanks Jet Lag for showing me this wonderful song 😂
I bet Sam and Toby were so annoyed with this song by the time they reached their next challenge.
Heard this in science.Thought i'd give it a try.And got all the lyric right up to tempo,too.
I think I.l stay with daft hands
Learning this for bonus points in science
blackwatch trash he says at the end of the song that there may be others that haven't been discovered
so you did it right first try? r/thathappened
Gale from Better Call Saul brought me here
Me too.
Sheldon from Big Bang Theory brought me here
A decent science teacher brought me here
billytheripper4 You took Mr. White’s science class too?
Sheldon and gale both brought me here
I’m trying my hardest to memorize this and it’s driving me slowly insane 🤗😘
Its not driving me insane its driving my classmayes insane coz they hear it 24/7 thx to me
same
It's 3am, i'm a sixth grader who doesn't need this information yet but u know-
bruh
I feel like patrick from spongebob in the "campfire song song".

Who's here from this weeks episode of Jet Lag?
Dale from “Better Call Saul” and “Breaking Bad” had to memorize this lol

@@RJ12347 I think it was autocorrect lol
Remember when Sam and Toby had to listen to this for 2 hours on repeat?
is it really remembering when the video is only like 2 weeks old?
"And chlorine, carbon, cobalt copper, tungsten tin and sodium" the ultimate "tung" twister
True
any one her because of Let Lag: The Game?
Who is here after the latest episode of Jet Lag
I've actually paused the episode on RUclips just to hear the song.
Here we are
4 years out of high school and this song is still burned into my mind.
this is is from middle school for me, I've been out of school for 2 years now
If you're watching this, do yourself a favour and check out Daniel Radcliffe singing the whole thing on a BBC talk show. It's pretty impressive that he pulls it off.
Brad Simpson well most of it anyway.
Brad Simpson Bet you he used a spell
He can also do alphabet aerobics
LMAO looked this up, gave me a good laugh, hes great at it!
An extra verse for all the completionists out there:
There’s hassium, lawrencium, darmstadtium, moscovium,
Meitnerium and dubnium, copernecium and flerovium,
Seabourgium, rutherfordium, roentgenium, livermorium,
Oganesson, tennessine, nihonium and bohrium.
You have to sing the third syllable of Tennessine as a weighted apoggiatura.
Sing it as a WHAT

Oxygen: *exists*
Tom Lehrer from 1:10 to 1:14: "Listen I know I just sung about it but that doesn't mean I believe in it"
I sung this in front of my entire class about 4x slower than this and I still got an A in course work, everyone gave me a round of applause and picked me up and walked me out the class, I feel accomplishes
Just Another Person Named Bob Ross oh damn
I've sung this song in my apartment, and now I have this strange box weighing 201.6 pounds filled with sky blue glass-like crystals.... :\
Who’s here after Jet Lag: The Game? 😂
Me :)
Me!!!!
Me ;)
If you guys think this sounds super impossible to master DONT I thought the same thing and I learned the FIRST verse in under THREE days, but of course it's different with everyone
Thanks jetleg for introducing me to this silly song.
When I was in 7th grade my science teacher said we would get extra credit if we memorized and sang this song so I learned it all but never sang it. Now it’s been 15 years and I still sing this song all the time
That is why I’m watching it my 8th grade teacher says if we memorize it she will make ur grade to a A no matter what grade you have
oh man I've been getting into Lehrer's songs recently, I found this while looking for something else and I must realized my first exposure to him was close to 10 years ago!
This is a breaking bad reference
Got the choice of learning this song by heart or taking a test.... I learned it in two days
Gale be like:
My teacher sang this in Highschool 4 years ago while playing the accordion, it was amazing and even though most of us could only sing along with the lyrics in front of us; we had a great time!
I miss you Mr Banks, I hope you’re having a wonderful time teaching still.
Science teacher showed us this in middle school, didnt think id come back to the artist for " Masochisim Tango " lmao
Ah a blessing to hear this on a drive from wellington to Christchurch NZ
he thinks hes gale😭
Happy birthday Tom Lehrer, 92 today!! Your songs still entertain to this day 🎉🎂

I remember my 10th grade chemistry teacher telling us that if we can sing this entire song we immediately pass the class.
@zeekyblahIV There are elements that are not in this song because it is old, never did count how many were missing but i'll just take your word for it.
There are sixteen elements missing
It was written around 1955-56; I don't know how many have been discovered since then.
I have NCIS to thank for this!
Emily Ann funny you said that. I just finished watching that episode 10 minutes ago on Netflix. Fucking song is now stuck in my head!!!
Christopher Justus the show is so interesting
THANK YOU NCIS!
me too !!! that was a good episode
@@alissaschlesinger1355 It really was! One of my favorites from that season
Favorite song ever
Gale Boetticher actually loves that
One of my fav songs
10 years later this song is used in the TV series Better Call Saul singed by a character gale Better Call Saul is prequel to the infamous TV show Breaking Bad
This and the pi song are the only two things I remember from school! They should teach in song, it sticks with you forever

Perfect extra credit assignment. Byproduct; humiliation 😕
WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE LAB WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
I learnt this in two weeks by printing out the lyrics and sticking them to my bathroom door. Every time I brushed my teeth I read each new line., 2 minutes of brushing x 2 a day meant I easily learned in 14 days or so.

Rappers Eminem was scared to face:
Screw the periodic table, this is the _true_ ordering of the elements.
