So sweet haha!! The cast of Loserville are brilliant 🙂
it's the same tune as xkcd's every major's terrible. lololol
They are both based on "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" from The Pirates of Penzance.
ANyone else thinking of the episode when Sheldon gets drunk in his lecture and starts the element's song too? lol.
I can't find the Lanthanides and Actinides.
these people scare my sister
Animator320 they are connected
Ba co p
How do British people sing beatufully!
