Yep, Tom Lehrer's fun lil ditty about that big poster you've probably all seen in your local chemistry room. If you can memorize this and sing it to your chemistry teacher, I'm sure they'll most likely give you extra credit. :P

This is my movie for my computer class this year, so all that text at the end... that was to fill time and make it the required 3 minutes. o__x Basically all it's saying is this:
15 elements discovered since Tom wrote it, 10 of which have been named.
-insert names of those above mentioned 10 elements here. If you want to know them so badly, watch it or look it up on Wikipedia.-
Then credits to Tom for making the song and Wikipedia for the extra info about it and those extra elements. And a small disclaimer at the end saying I drew all the pictures in MSPaint.
Really, that's all the text at the end is saying.

All in all, I think it turned out rather well... I'm happy with it, anyway. The only thing that I really don't like is that it lags a bit around molybdenum and argon-krypton-neon and so on. But I can excuse the last one because he's rattling them off SO FREAKING FAST the program has a hard time keeping up with him.

PS: I used the program called PowerDirector to make this.
