There is the periodic table song by Tom Lehrer:

Written in the 60's it is missing a few elements.

I have an Inorganic Chemistry  text book "* Chemical Bonding Simplified
Through Quantum Mechanics*".
Part of the exercises was to determine to determine a new stable element.
The answer was #118.
It has been observed 30 years later, temporary name of eca-radon or element
#118 as the largest atom to date and is extremely unstable.
As a result of this class I have pursued Manufacturing Engineering rather
than Chemical Engineering.
The engineers made more sense than the chemists.
