    Hi guys! Xave Ruth here. I've been writing and performing weird funny songs for seven years and finally scratched together the funds to make my very own comedy special, completely independently and self-funded. It isn't easy for a little guy to make it in a comedy landscape completely dominated by Netflix, but this is my big shot. If you like this video I hope you'll consider buying the special at the link below. Some of the special can be found for free on this channel; the rest can be found in the full version.

    --
    This music here was written for a song much less ephemeral
    Twas of the very model of a modern major general
    Our man Tom Lehrer re-wrote the words in such a manner chemical
    But face we now a problem of a making mostly temporal
    The previous two verses were conceived of many years ago
    But science marches on and therefore into verse 3 we must go
    How wonderful the elements could be so sweetly synchronized
    But in the intervening years 16 more have been synthesized
    There’s oganesson, dubnium, meitnerium, rutherfordium
    Nihonium, darmstadtium, flerovium, seaborgium
    There’s tennessine, Lawrencium, moscovium, livermorium
    Roentgenium, copernicium, (and) hassium, and bohrium
