There May be Many Others...

... but if so I haven't heard (of) them.  Songs broadcast in their completeness on Desert Island Discs, that is. 
Today we had the selection of Professor David Phillips, currently President of the Royal Society of Chemistry.  At one point he was Professor at the Royal Institution, where 10 of the chemical elements were discovered.  So it was no suprise, I guess, that he chose Tom Lehrer's The Elements as one of his records.  What did surprise me was that they played the whole thing, without a fade. Marvellous.
