This item just in from the University of Washington. I seem to recall a recent thread on songs about science, but can't seem to find it. Anyway here's a great database on this subject.

TECH BIT: Song Database for Teaching Science/Math
Adding song to a science or math class may inspire and provoke critical thinking. That's the impetus behind the online searchable database called MASSIVE (Math And Science Song Information, Viewable Everywhere), maintained by UW chemical engineering researcher/lecturer Greg Crowther. Hear or get lyrics for some two thousand songs, including "A Singing Summary of Biotechnology."

Tom Lehrer has one of each ! New Math (doing sums in base eight , rather than ten) and The Elements - The Periodic table set to Sir Arthur Sullivans tune !!
