A classic: The Elements (up to those we knew in 1959, anyway)
There is also some very useful information in Josh Ritter’s Stuck to You
Tom Lehrer’s Ly song. It even has a vampire.
Folllowed closely by Lehrer’s Silent E.
From The Electric Company, if I remember correctly.
Lehrer also wrote “The Elements.”
Who’da thought I get beat to Lehrer links, for cripes sake! ~
@gailcalled, Yours I’m using for my tutoring.
@dappled_leaves Thanks! I’ve been wanting to get more into the periodic table. I found another song, which includes all the elements up to now.
@Coloma That was a little scary.
Love the ones up to now, thanks. More, please.
They Might Be Giants has some, just search them on Youtube. They have a song about colors, the periodic table of elements, the Mesopotamians, and more.
Weird Al has a lot, too. This one is made up completely of palindromes. This one is about the endocrine system. This is a more recent one about “word crimes”.
Schoolhouse Rock has songs about multiplication tables, numbers, grammar, history, government and many other topics.
Thanks, you two! Added those! :)
