Solubility Rules Song -- Best Version

Simply the best version of the chemistry solubility rules song. Please comment and tell me what you think. SOLUBILITY SONG LYRICS Group 1 and ammonium salts, Wherever they may be Can always be depended on for solubility. Acetates and nitrates? The answer's always clear, They each and all are soluble, Is all we want to hear. Chlorides bromides iodides Are soluble weve read, Save silver, mercurous mercury, And (slightly) those with lead. Every single sulfate, Is soluble, 'tis said, 'Cept barium, silver, calcium Mercury, strontium, lead. Carbonates are insoluble, Usually that is so, Or else our marble buildings Would melt away like snow. Phosphates or sulfides will not mix With water it is true But if combined with Group 1 Or ammonium they do. Hydroxides plus metals won't dissolve, All but these you see. With Group 1 or ammonium They dissolve quite readily. When added to hydroxides You must not forget: Calcium, barium strontium Make them dissolve a bit. The strong electrolytes I sang Are soluble you see, Add strong acids and bases To this category. Weak electrolytes do not dissolve as we have seen, Covalents and weak acids, this is what I mean. Gases will never dissolve As you well may NO, These include HCN H2S, CO. I edited the lyrics from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8LsubTP5U8 and made them better. I do not own the rights to the original lyrics or the song.
