    1. @sriram_malharDec 2015· in “Tom Lehrer”

      Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter actor) did Lehrer's periodic table song not too long ago. Earnest and cute! this video

    2. @vmlinuzJul 2025· in “Tom Lehrer has died”

      We all know the Daniel Radcliffe story, right? (He performed The Elements from memory on a UK talk show, which was allegedly what got him hired to play Weird Al in his 'biopic' - this video )
