Cover art for Meet the Elements lyrics by They Might Be Giants

I got this album for my dad as a Christmas gift last year because he's a middle school science teacher. So all the songs on it remind me of him. This particular song is great because I know he showed the video for it in class as soon as school resumed after winter break. Also, the first time we listened to it, he knew the four elements that "every living thing is mostly made of" and blurted them out before the line even started, it was a classic scinece-nerd-dad moment.
