YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRecorded May/June 2011.
25% rap, 25% parody, 25% science, and 25% video makes 99% amusement (1% allotted for entropy). In case you were wondering, I blew all the other projects out of the water. Regardless, I still only got the maximum 5 points of Extra Credit. That's right - this project was only for 5 points of EC.

LYRICS:
Hydrogen is everywhere
Dispersed throughout the universe
It's inside every one of us
It has the smallest nucleus
Helium's at number two
A noble gas, it's unsurpassed
Lithium's in batteries
Sittin' pretty at number three
Beryllium is number four
X-ray window
In aeronautics far and wide
Boric acid pesticide
Carbon's really widespread
Charcoal, diamond, pencil lead
Anything alive or dead
Carbon bonds the most it's said
Nitrogen in cyanide
In rocket fuel it is applied
Ammonium consists therein
And you all know 'bout oxygen
Fluorine chillin' in the fridge
The most electronegative
Neon lights on Vegas nights
Sodium in tasty bites
Mobile phone magnesium
Velocipede aluminum
Silicon computer chips
Phosphorescent phosphorous!
CHORUS:
=
Period across, and Family down
The Periodic Table is the greatest in town
Alkali, Transitions and the Halogens,
Electronegative bonding
Come and take a trip through the Elements
Take the first step, come on ladies and gents
What 'cha gonna do, so
Come and take a drink of my H-2-O!
=
Sulfur part of acid rain
Fireworks and cellophane
Chlorine used for disinfectin'
Argon gassed that tasty chicken
Potassium in your banana
Calcium ivory piano
Scandium in aeroplanes
Titanium construction frames
Vanadium in your toolbox
Chromium-plated toasters rock!
Manganese will cure that rust
Iron becomes a steel truss
Cobalt in your fancy china
Twenty Nickel's make a dollar
Copper wire, Zinc batteries
Some Gallium for LEDs
Germanium in camera lenses
Arsenic is poisonous
Selenium can give you cancer
Toxic Bromine's dangerous
Krypton kills your super-powers
Rubidium laser cooling towers
Strontium in CRTs
Yttrium also in these
Zirconium cuts jewelry
Niobium in MRIs
Molybdenum enrichens soil
Technetium, radio-meds!
[CHORUS]
From here on the list gets kind of boring
So I'll just do highlights, 'cause I don't want any snoring
Palladium and Silver both are used in flutes and jewelry
Cadmium in batteries power LCD Indium touchscreens
Snapple; fruit infused with Tin
Wait, you'll get it -- there's that grin!
Antimony's a flame retardant
Arsenic's a disinfectant
Xenon laser, Cesium clock
Tungsten's used in Halogens
Osmium's the densest schlock
Iridium resists corrosion
Platinum and Gold are pretty pricey
Mercury thermometers will tell you when it's icy
Little Lead figurines are safe from radiation
But that trefoil on Polonium is cause of consternation
Uranium, Plutonium, the last occurring elements...
Oh, shi-- *ka-BOOM!!*
One final element is probably worth a mention, that is
Mendelevium, it's eponym was Mendeleev, the table was his invention!
[CHORUS] 2x
