As a chemist I enjoyed this the first time I heard it. I played it for my grandson, Who most likely be a scientist someday. he has not chosen a discipline as yet.
What makes me happiest is that I know what tune this song is from. "I am the very model of a modern major general" Pirates of Penzance parodies make me smile. <3
@TheCoolFusion actually incorrect, in chemistry the capital letters aren't capital letters for no reason.. so it would be: FeNO + Li ---> NO LiFe
btw: would be more funny, if there would be a slightly similar and possible reaction.. but nice attempt though! I'd rather use this joke as: "You totally have Nitrogen, Oxygen, Lithium and Iron" or something like that.. same as in "I love Carbon, Holmium, Cobalt, Lanthanum and Tellurium, they're so sweet together"
I heard this in Science class...But I did see the Daniel Radcliffe one on that british talk show with the orange background. Only, I was there for Rihanna, not him.
Back in the day, the "bitchen" people called us "Poindexters". I've been a proud member of the society of nerds since 1963. Ladies and Gentlemen, WE RULE!!!!
@NICKLOU4EVER just to tell people who don't understand the human mind - most of the people saying who the fuck's Daniel what's his name know who he is. They just show that they knew about this before some nobody they "haven't even heard of" started singing this. Oh and if your comment was just you trolling/typing obvious stuff you knew the people you were telling about knew then fuck me.
@McRat1968 Danielle Radcliff is one of the most promising young stars on Broadway, film, and off-Broadway. A very cultured and talented young man - I would never associate him with rap or reality TV. :) He was made famous by playing Harry Potter, although he certainly will not only be known for that role. He's a great talent to become familiar with. The reason people are bringing him up on this forum is because he sang the Elements song on tv. :)
@McRat1968 Because Daniel Radcliff (harry potter) sung this song at an interview BITCH trust me, if you have no idea who my insperation is, you should crawl out of your hole of nothing and stop being stupid.
Btw, we who know who Daniel radcliff is, are the people who are productive
Clearly you slept through math class--and, I imagine, every other class in school, as well.
You're like most of today's youth who, instead of memorizing American history, you've wasted valuable time memorizing every winner on American Idol because your kind think that's more important these days.
@InfinityParamount The truth does not hurt! I'm a nerd and I'm damn proud of it. :D Quoting my favorite author John Green:
“…nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-your-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. When people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’."
that's an awesome video.
