[PAR] [TLE] The Elements (song) [SEP] "The Elements" is a song by musical humorist and lecturer Tom Lehrer, which recites the names of all the chemical elements known at the time of writing, up to number 102, nobelium.  It was written in 1959 and can be found on his albums "Tom Lehrer in Concert", "More of Tom Lehrer" and "An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer".  The song is sung to the tune of the Major-General's Song from "The Pirates of Penzance" by Gilbert and Sullivan. [PAR] [TLE] Major-General's Song [SEP] "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" (often referred to as the "Major-General's Song" or "Modern Major-General's Song") is a patter song from Gilbert and Sullivan's 1879 comic opera "The Pirates of Penzance".  It is perhaps the most famous song in Gilbert and Sullivan's operas.  It is sung by Major General Stanley at his first entrance, towards the end of Act I.  The song satirises the idea of the "modern" educated British Army officer of the latter 19th century.  It is one of the most difficult patter songs to perform, due to the fast pace and tongue-twisting nature of the lyrics.
