But I was unduly influenced at a tender age.

Having no fairing, no sound system, and a full-face helmet, I occasionally
sing parts of some Gilbert & Sullivan tunes. Which is harder (or maybe
easier) than it sounds because I don't know all the lyrics to any of them.

Here's nice set of lyrics (Courtesy of Tom Lehrer) to "The Major-
General's Song" from the Pirates of Penzance...

Might prove useful should you ever find yourself trapped in a freshman
physics class and have to sing your way out.

There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium,
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium,
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium,
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium,
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium,
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium,
And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium,

And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.

There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium,
And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium,
And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium,
And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium, and barium.

There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium,
And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium,
And manganese and mercury, molybdenum, magnesium,
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium.
And lead, praseodymium, and platinum, plutonium,
Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium,
And tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium,

And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium.

There's sulfur, californium, and fermium, berkelium,
And also mendelevium, einsteinium, nobelium,
And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc, and rhodium,
And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin, and sodium.

These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard,
And there may be many others, but they haven't been discavard.

(Note: several more *have* been discavard since these lyrics were
penned, but since they can't be made to fit the scansion we'll simply
pretend they don't exist: much like Global Warming at a Tea-Party
convention.)

Happy memories :-))

I *love* Tom Lehrer's stuff.

An old friend from university (now dead, sadly) used to teach physics
and memorised this one to sing to his pupils when they complained that
it was "too difficult to remember".

I'd much rather be poisoning pigeons in the park during National
Brootherhood Week. Sadly Lena Horn wont be on my dance ticket.
