  • The Elements è un brano musicale del 1959 del musicista e comico statunitense Tom Lehrer. Nella canzone, Lehrer canta i nomi degli elementi chimici conosciuti all'epoca, dall'Idrogeno (1) al Nobelio (102). The Elements è presente negli album Tom Lehrer in Concert, More of Tom Lehrer e An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer. La canzone è cantata sulle note di I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General di Gilbert e Sullivan, tratta dall'operetta The Pirates of Penzance. Lehrer è stato docente di matematica ad Harvard, e la rima finale di "Harvard" con "discovered" vengono cantate parodiando l'accento di Boston, che è un non-rotico, in modo tale che le due parole rimino tra di loro. L'accompagnamento col piano è stato eseguito da Lehrer stesso mentre cantava. Su alcune delle registrazioni dal vivo, Lehrer si ferma tra alcune strofe a parla col pubblico, dicendo cose tipo "Spero che tu stia prendendo appunti, perché tra poco ci sarà un breve quiz!". Lehrer ha preso ispirazione per la canzone The Elements dalla canzone Tchaikovsky, scritto da Ira Gershwin, che elencava una cinquantina di compositori russi in un modo simile. (it)
