Because those reading Mnemonics for Study may be doing so on a Kindle or other e-reader that is not optimized for the viewing of images or tables, or indeed for working through a workbook, I am making available here a number of resources.
Here you will find:
A printable document with the original color images (omitted from the print edition)

Science songs
Flanders & Swann’s song describing the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics (you can hear them on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb2kBFqrZx8 or read the lyrics at http://www.iankitching.me.uk/humour/hippo/entropy.html)
Tom Lehrer’s song of the Periodic Table (you can hear him on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8dtquYDXEU )
More “science songs” at http://ww3.haverford.edu/physics-astro/songs/links.html (designed for instruction: audio files, associated lesson plans, etc).
Drug Discovery Today also has an article recounting the lyrics for various songs, by scientists, celebrating various science subjects, which you can read at www.mnstate.edu/malott/Molecular04/SingaSongofScience.pdf (it's in pdf format).
Check out the Science Songwriters' Association.
Many well-known poems & prose texts have also been put to music — for example, The Lied and Art Song Texts site has 87 listed for Shakespeare.
