The song is 'The Elements' by Tom Lehrer. Lots of information can be found in the wikipedia article 'The Elements (song)'.

@pranavarora1995 K melts itself into a ball because it's rotating violently. Li doesn't.
Also, why the hell isn't Rhenium, Technetium, Francium, Polonium, Promethium or like half of the Actinides on there? They were all discovered.
