The early 1950's are best remembered as a staid and conservative period in the
history of America. Yet it fostered a man who broke the post-war tedium with songs
that featured a playful yet sardonic wit. With titles like "The Masochism Tango" and
"The Vatican Rag" he reinvigorated the voice of satire in American popular music.

This man's name is Tom Lehrer.

The animation you're about to see is based upon one of his most famous
creations. Entitled "The Elements", it's comprised of little more than the
elements of the periodic table (circa 1955) sung, as Mr. Lehrer puts it, to a
"vaguely recognizable tune".
