Helen Arney's video: TOM LEHRER S ELEMENTS - with new elements nihonium moscovium tennessine and oganesson

Just heard that IUPAC approved the four names proposed earlier this year, and couldn't resist updating The Elements Song to include them - and the other 12 discovered or synthesised since 1959. Watch me singing this live on stage with Festival of the Spoken Nerd: https://youtu.be/hzvVLK9Y048 And with full brass band and a host of comedians and scientists on the Chemistry World channel: https://youtu.be/viDYl-qfq7M For more of my stuff visit http://helenarney.com. Or download the latest live shows with me, Matt Parker and Steve Mould as Festival of the Spoken Nerd for just £π (£3.14) at http://fotsn.com/shop This was recorded in one take while our nine-week old baby had a little nap in her crib just out of shot... Thanks to her for keeping quiet, plus even more thanks to Tom Lehrer for writing the original song to Arthur Sullivan's tune, and keeping the whole thing singable in under two minutes. Please excuse the couple of fluffs. We're all pretty tired in this household right now!
