[Puppymania2]

Have 2 learn this for homework :(

[drdst17]

I'm a Chem teacher. TMBG has been my favorite band for the last 15 years.

Epic Win is Epic.

[dimilevato]

it seems like every science teacher shows this to his/her class :)

[CaliCool1234]

@dimilevato ours showed us the tom Lehrer's elements song

[MrJentipede]

crushing coal doesn't really make diamond :/

[jamreaper]

@MrJentipede and the sun isnt really made out of gas, your point is?

[MrJentipede]

@jamreaper actually yes, it is, not that it is relevant

nice trolling attempt though, try again

[jamreaper]

@MrJentipede search "tmbg why the sun REALLY shines" and make sure you click on the top one

[crazzzzyy1]

[doodledoodlede]

catchiest learning song eveerrr

[bluelinkinpark]

[doodledoodlede]

@bluelinkinpark SAME ITS LIKE OMGGGGG :D

[bluelinkinpark]

@doodledoodlede heca people make fun of this our teacher said she is going to make us memorize it LOL

[DaMagician91]

Did they mistake the values for carbon and oxygen in the pie graph? makes no sense to me

[PaulPower4]

@DaMagician91 Carbon would make up most of the dry weight, but remember the human body is about 70% water so there's a lot of oxygen there.

[DaMagician91]

@PaulPower4 but water molecules have 2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, which means that there should be a lot more hydrogen, also considering the hydrogen bonded in the organic compounds

[SpaceTime4D]

@DaMagician91 They are possibly doing the percentages based on weight. An oxygen atom weights eight times as much as two hydrogen atoms. I still don't understand nitrogen's value, but possibly because nitrogen is pretty much just used in amino acids.

[Bobthebobber7]

Not a giant fan of educational music

[FreedomInPalestine]

I love this! It makes the periodic table cool!

[hotpinkelephant11]

Are you implying it wasn't aready cool? :)

[FreedomInPalestine]

@hotpinkelephant11

Nope...I'm a chemist, so I've always had a soft spot for it.Unfortunately,others haven't always shared my sentiments.

[hotpinkelephant11]

Haha... :)

There is a better version of this song without the end cut off by boinboingvideos

[w17h0u754n17y]

I wish this came out when I was in Chemistry. I remember music so much better than anything else.

[TaKaLQc]

What a great song to make people like science :P

I think i'm gonna ask my chemistry teacher to play it in class XD

[danfield78]

sucks the ending is cut off. Make a version with the whole video and I'll post the hell out of it to all of my science geek friends.

[yelik0drum]
