I've discovered something that I think is worth noting. I know the names of all the SCA kingdoms, even though I am not now nor have I ever been a member of the SCA. So why do I know all of the kingdoms, then? Because someone taught me a dirty song about the SCA that had all of the kingdoms' names in it.

I think that's the best way to teach me something, really, is to put it in a rude song. If there were rude songs about the periodic table of elements, or any other list of things in the world, I'd know that stuff, too.

I guess that makes me a bawditory learner, then, doesn't it?

Apparently there is a song about the elements, or more accurately a song that consists mainly of the names of the elements set to something that vaguely resembles a tune. It's sung by Tom Lehrer and fairly easy to find online.

There is also the beginnings of an opera about the periodic table. I recommend you listen to it, in a train wreck sort of way.

But obscene songs, I could not find. I think there's a definite market out there, though.

It's to the tune of "I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major-General", actually. *sings* There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium, and hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium...

<-- Not a G&S fan

Like I said, something that only vaguely resembles a tune...
