My chemisty teacher said that if one of us could memorize this in one week (full speed) he would give us an automatic A. THANK YOU BECAUSE I DID IT.
Me wondering what school you were in lol
Same without the full speed so I’m lucky
Wow. I wish i could do that
Our 8th grade science teacher doesn’t give homework for our chemistry unit to people who memorize this
@@what_27i memorized all-
I only know Hydrogen to Larenicium
But still in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral I am the very model of a modern major general.
Fantastic. Have always been a fan of Tom Lehrer and now I can even learn all those elements off by heart.
Classic. I remember my chemistry teacher challenging the class to try and SING this, and if anyone successfully did so they would automatically get an A and not have to show up to class 🤣
lol, my teacher did as well and I actually ended up doing it. In fact, it did it for my school talent show when I was in jr high. even got a standing ovation, it was very surreal. If memory serves me correctly, the teacher gave me the A. I can still sing it to this day.
I want my techer to do that.
@@mcxopjesh That's sick!
my science teacher showed us this this year and i wouldn't stop smiling and i think this song is addicting
It's very much addicting. For me since 1968 when I was 10. I'm now 65 and it still helps me keep my brain sharp.
I'm addicted to elements now only because of some songs, this being 1.
lol I like the dancing "i"
All my friends hate this song. I told them to shut up.
You need better friends.... or better drugs.
Wait, whaaaat?
tyasdrer
@@privatehand wut
This is the best animation I've seen for it!! It really helped to learn it, thanks!!
Nihonium, Moscovium, Tennesine and Ognassion (2015)
Yeah, I oughta fix this someday.
you better wait a few years. No needt to hurry
2010 update:
Nihonium was Ununtrium
Flerovium was Ununquadium
Moscovium was Ununpentium
Livermorium was Ununhexium
Tennessine was Ununseptium
Oganesson was Ununoctium
you really did a great job with the animation!
Those are the ones moved to the bottom for more space; look closely because after 56 is 72. 57 is continued at the first element of the top collum. After 88 is 104, as 89 is continued at the first element of the bottom collom. The 30 elements at the bottom were moved to save space.
This song was written before lawrencium was discovered. The remaining 29, in order of appearance on this song, are: neodymium, neptunium, americium, uranium, europium, lutetium, lanthanum, protactinium, thorium, thulium, ytterbium, actinium, gadolinium, samarium, holmium, erbium, terbium, dysprosium, cerium, praseodymium, plutonium, promethium, curium, californium, fermium, berkelium, mendelevium, einsteinium, and nobelium.
If we can sing this. we get an A from our teacher this is going to be a hard time...
if you can sing it? i have to memorize it!
Did you do it?
yup i got an a!!! wooo
Noa Van Dijk if i sing this song to my teacher i get a free meal from dary queen
I learnt it when i was 12, I didn't have too I was such a chemistry geek, I'm 13 and still am xD
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
very nicely made video thank you!
You're most welcome.
It is now my goal in life to memorize this song perfectly.
Did you manage?
It's in the part that goes "Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium". It's red with a little devil's tail.
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.
Finally memorized it all. Achievement unlocked.
Excellently done, especially the Gilliamesque use of a Nobel visage.
(...ignoring the misspelling of 'wolfram'....)
I love Tom Lehrer. i had actually forgotten about this song till i watched an episode of NCIS where the song was played. i love it.
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.
Pixelmaniac ununtrium, ununpentium, ununseptium, and ununoctium
now Nihonium, Moscovium, Tennessine, and Oganesson.
secretionyium (90000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
werbteium (wi)(100621)
I am the very model of a Modern Major General
Man brings me back to 6th grade.
What does that foot have against gadolinium and niobium?
The sole of the shoe. Hah!
xD
1:15 Here is why Alfred can sing
And there are 110 elements in All….
But the original is 118
I was singing that in my science lessons
And if you don't stop we're going to have you vivisected.
Same xD
I remember watching this in my class back then (2011).
I saw this flash video on your site pre-youtube. :-)
I didn't really NEED to youtube it but it seemed like a good way to spread the gospel of St. Thomas. ;^)
:-)
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Actually I like singing the periodic table it's my favorite song I like your video
Everyone be quiet can you sing this by memory this song was made in the 60s
My classmate sang it for my science teacher. He got a 100 for an extra test grade.
I did, in my first semester of Voice Class at El Camino College in Torrance, CA. in 1986. And I performed it at the Final Recital and, apparently, brought down the house! :)
I've known the whole song since i was 10, I'm now 13
Brilliant!
I can almost keep up now!
I know, but it's pretty epic. Love the animation, esp. the little dancing i.
"And there may be others but they haven't been discovered." **Suddenly Many Elements from Particle accerarator Scares me**
There are now 118 elements.
It's good to see good ol' Arthur Sullivan get a mention here.
Nostalgia.
thanks for the video
i learned all the elements in this song now to show my science teacher
I've just updated it to include all 118 elements. Follow the link in the description.
This is a very well made video.
She also showed the soft picture to do awkwardly
When I was in school, it seemed to be established that element 105 was Hahnium- why did they change their mind and call it Dubnium?
72 is hafnium and 105 is dubnium because element update?
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.
This sounds kinda like the philosopher song on overly sarcastic productions...
RED NoO.
I have about to "thallium" memorized and have for several years, but after that i struggle, lol!
@PaoValkova i have to memorize it for my science class and that is the only way i can. so if i got it on my phone i could practice learning it more.
I like how those nobel gases get stared down by Nobel.
Is now 119 Element now lol!!
Once the new elements have names I'll update this little sucker.
I know the first part but I'm trying to learn the rest. It's quite hard but it's surprisingly easy to remember once you've got the first part!
1:19, IT'S LIKE HE'S SINGING IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE.
1:19
You are a better man than I am, science dude. ;^)
And congrats on the A.
Still the best version
0:08 to skip the company picture and to go straight to the lyrics :)
why not rogentinium, copernecium, nihoium flerovium, mosovium, livermorium Tennessine and ogammeson?
I don't know how to spell them. 😁
the best sienctific song ever made
We're going to need to update the song sooner or later. The list of elements discovered after the song was written is getting quite long.
Congrats on the Vid! Well done! It's a hard song to animate.
All you need to do is take each piece slowly, and then put all the pieces together until you can recite it from memory! If I can do it, everyone else sure can.
On _NCIS,_ Abby Sciuto played this song and gleaned clues to a plot, from the atomic numbers in it. The script writers never acknowledged Lehrer. Sounds to me like he had grounds to sue.
The Elements Song by Tom Lehrer...
Oh hey, it's Mike!
Yeah, they'll let anyone on RUclips.... except Trump. Bwah-ha-ha-haaa!
I'm happy to say it's been on pointless for YEARS.
My jam like a rap
@dayneoram haha the entire THING is brilliant! :D
Also now roentgenium, copernicium, nihonium, flerovium, moscovium, livermorium, tennessine, and oganesson
Yeah, yeah. I know. But where do you PUT it all?
@@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.
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
Now imagine an update with elements 103-118 (Lawrencium to Oganesson)
@haasr12345 you're not alone
I'll be watching this a lot since i get bonus science points to memorize it.
There are 102 elements in the song and 110 including the end screen. I keep on being told I'm wasting my life but I'm not sure why.
0:23 - sorry learning it for school
I love this animation. (insert clever pun here)
Gurl the original version had photos of Mendeleev, Einstein, and Nobel
All together now!!!...(silence)
Random from 1 to 118
My friends got extra credit for memorizing this.
im doing it 4 fifth grade talent show wish me luck messed up in tryouts but still made it! good luck to you the shizz nizzl
My next achievement in life is to learn this
there are 118 discovered elements. however, there are only like 115 elements that have permanent names. 116 became LIVERMORIUM and 114 became FLEROVIUM. the unun- series is temporary
Not 115 elements, it's 114
118-4=114
My science teacher said to a student "if you memorize all the lyrics you get to take no tests" soo jealous
my head hurts
Put it in 1.5x speed and enjoy
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! 🤣
I think that the "i" in barium should be the symbol for this video. I felt bad when he got pulled off the stage. :(
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...
Learnt this all the way through! :D I am so taking Chemistry from my GCSE
It's atomic number 61 in the lanthanoids
My life goal is to be able to sing this at full speed by memory.... Sad, isn't it? ;D
for some reason my science teacher showed us this in year 7, she also asked us to try and count the elemnts while they were said, who the hell is that mean???
1:30 you forgot something! ununseptium had been found in 2010-2011!
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
L.J.: I love this video; it's so funny!😁
You forgot Muonium at the end right before Lawrencium.
yup
@syahirSQRT2 actually he also forgot element zero
I epically failed at this!
Roentgenium (2004)
Copernicium (2009)
replay buttom 0:00 use it wisely
YES!!! SOMEBODY ELSE CAN SING THIS!!!
Ive memorized up to barium xD and the first line with heluim in it
Wow it is hard to memorize. Would be funny if they sang this on smash or something
