"SHH! QUIET!" "Now clap."
Ema Nekaf ahahah
I know he was so demanding ❤😂😂😂
Odhran Gallagher it’s meant to be comedic but considering your intelligence you probably couldn’t tell
Odhran Gallagher it’s obviously comedy
Odhran Gallagher that’s what you call dry humor - when someone behaves in ways that originally can hurt someone else but really means something different as to make the person laugh their heads off. Deep down though, Daniel is a very humble person and I’m glad the fame didn’t ruin him.
He is aware of muggle science.
this is my favourite comment
Arthur Weasley taught him well.
SirBunnyBoy
Arthur Weasley didn't have to teach him, Harry went to muggle school until he went to Hogwarts.
Call teh polooce hurry pooter could noover lurn zis in elementary schul
Well DUH he was living with muggles for 11 yrs!
The fact that weird al chose dan to play him after seeing this singing is just amazing. 😂❤️
fax
tru
The fact that he can rap and play weird characters in movies like swiss army man and guns akimbo. He deserves to play him
@@chad6034 agreed💯

I never really got into the Harry Potter movies but I am a really big fan of Daniel Radcliffe...every movie I have seen him in he does a really good job.
Doesn't sound like he's singing, he's more like doing a prayer for chemistry
Yeah, he didn't sing it much.
@@inigo8740 I think he was tired and needed a glass of water
Actually, he wasn't that bad. That's a hard song to do by itself, (in other words - no music or instrument playing along in the background.) Not to mention, it's also a pretty fast-paced one as well. But he was definitely having fun doing it, too.
omg this made me cry
He said he was super nervous about it.
When the boy who lived tells you to clap, you best clap.
Agreed
the best comment I've seen on UA-cam yet
The boy who lived... Under the stairs
+Elisapeta Fiaola Golf clap of injustice
That's one wicked long spell, Harry...
Haha LOL!!
MaiCohWolf and when the spell finishes the world explodes.
Midnight lol
That could damn well end Voldemort and his descendants.
Creates another damn universe
The makeup artist did a great job covering the scar on his forehead
Underrated comment
👏👏👏
Clever little wizard, you
😆
he doesnt really have one it was just for the roll
If only he'd put this much effort in potions class, Snape wouldn't have hated him as much
But this is chemistry ,hogwards potion class is different tho 😂 jk
@@kamadotanjiro1241 r/ wooosh
@@mling472 🤣
Snape didn’t hate Harry, he loved him like a son.
cough *Half Blood Prince* cough
I love how's he's like "now clap" *audience claps*
Clapping charm
Clappionus
Yupp
150 points to Grryfindor !
Lol
HA HA HA HA
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
xD
OH MY GOD
Ahmet Guldur OMY GOD AHAHAHAHAHHAJAJA
This explains him playing Weird Al. Especially the shush part when people start clapping & the "Now clap" part at the end. Plus his love for weird artists like Tom Lehrer in the 1st place made him a top contender to begin with. His high cheekbones & deepest eyes sealed the deal most likely.
Tom Lehrer is best
He was Weird Al's first choice for the movie because if this clip.
i actually heard this clip is why Weird Al chose Daniel to play him in the movie
better tom lehrer than tim riddle 🫣
Audience: *claps*
Daniel: NO STOP IT
*After the song*
Daniel: NOW clap
He said "that clapped"
Not now clap
@@shmomp1 no he didn’t you donut he said now clap😂
Calm down people, it literally doesn't matter what he said stop arguing 😂😂😂
@@shmomp1 if you think that he said that clapped then you are either deaf or an idiot
@@shmomp1 he definitely said now clap
Does Daniel Radcliffe even need oxygen? He didn't breathe at all through that.
No and he doesn't need Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Fluorine, Neon or any other elements either.
Heinz Doofenshmirtz Hey Dr D! I'm a big fan of yours!
hard to pause for breath singing this.
Jade Carberry-White There are signified gasp points though.
if you're going to sing it you might aswell add the piano noises 😂
Why do i love this dude, again? Oh wait , he can rap about the elements. And he tells the audience to shut up. And he's a wizard.
He also knows Alphabet Aerobics!
And it Daniel Radcliffe, what’s not to love?
Lol "Shut up, just shut up shut up" says Mr Potter
I didn't know this song, I thought he was about to start singing the diva song in the Fifth Element
@@Alice-rt6fz Look for "The Elements Tom Lehrer". He's a comedy hero to people like Weird Al, Jon Stewart and the late Mark Russel.
At 92 years old, Tom Lehrer is an American national treasure. His comedy is brilliant, and well suited for a British audience.
This is true, but so is Dr. Demento who introduced him to an unknowing generation.
Respect.
Tom Lehrer is an absolute genius and so is Radcliffe, although my favorite is probably The Masochism Tango lol
I like "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" but "Masochism Tango" is also good! I have a couple of his albums somewhere in my house. Fun stuff I first learned from the Dr. Demento show as a kid.
@@mr.troxell2308 Poisoning Pigeons is the first one my dad played for me, and still my favorite...but Angie has now forced me to search masochism tango, which i haven't heard in decades. Thank you!
Poisening pigeons in the park and masochism tango are my favourites
I'm partial to New Math, myself. But they're all good.
@@bobblum5973 Hurray for…
Came back to see this after he did the Alphabetic Aerobic rap on the Jimmy Fallon show.
makes two of us!
Yep xD
***** aaaand me too
***** same!
Me, too. New respect!
He did that and the other three guests all must have thought
What a nerd
Ive never understood why people act as if being intelligent is a bad thing.
it mostly because they aren't smart.
It's mostly not being smart but the the way people prioritise academics over social and arts. You can be smart but it can come across as obnoxious.
No they must have thought, "what a Hermione"
+Dasha Tymoshchuk Right.
I was just picturing Rupert in the background saying “ *Bloody Hell* “
I love how Daniel got so frustrated to the point where he was like *"QUIET!"*
You're a chemist, Harry
😂😂😂
hahaaaa
You're god damn right
Yes
LMAO
Teacher: "What element is this?"
Ron: "Its Germaniun"
Harry: "No its GER-MANIUM, not Germanium"
Aik Shamir Hermione: “its GerMANium not GermaniUM
LeviOOssa
That be hermione that do that
Wingardium leviOsah!
Stop it ron
The amount of HOURS Daniel Radcliffe put into learning that song, purely for his own enjoyment, is so impressive. I adore that he adores Tom Lehrer. He was pretty big in the 60's, but now a whole new generation is discovering him. I got my niece turned onto him, and she started sharing with all her friends. It's great!
That's not even my favorite Tom Lehrer song, though. I love "The Masochism Tango," and "Poisoning Pigeons In the Park" the most, tied for first.
Ok... I come here in 2020 for the first time: I thought he would have sung the Periodic Table Song by AsapSCIENCE...
same. when I heard it i was like "wtf is this song?"
Lol
lol asap science made their song under 5 years ago and updated it in 2018 😂 this video was from over 9 years ago 😂 but I see where you are coming from 😂
Same! When he started I was so confused
Sameee
Great Harry! 500 points to Gryffindor!
only 500?
Mdrrr :D
It must be OVER 9000!
MofaGames no it's like this: IT'S OVER 9000!
P.S it's supposed the be 8000 but whatever
Why not 10 points for every element?
YER A SCIENTIST, HARRY
IM A WHAT
HARRY, YOU'RE A SCIENTIST!!!
BUT IM JUST HARRY?!
Cieraa Mountaind WELL JUST HARRY
Harry: Wut
Radcliffe doesn’t mention that it’s set to the song “Modern Major General” from the operetta “Pirates of Penzance” by Britain’s own Gilbert and Sullivan. IMO the best version of the song is on the live album “An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer”.
In addition to his career as a musical humorist , Lehrer was also a professor of mathematics at Harvard. Very fitting because “Lehrer” means “teacher” in German.
Dang you’re informative! Thank you!
Reminds me of "I'm a model scientist salarian" from mass effect which was the parody of that song
@@tricorvus2673 My Mom had that álbum when I was a kid.
Lehrer continues to live well into his nineties.
Lehrer taught a class called Math For Non-Scientists at UC Santa Cruz in 1987. All of the Arts students were desperate to get a spot, and i was one of the lucky ones. I had no idea who he was at the time, though. We couldn’t Google in 1987. He taught us logic and it was a good class. He was tough. But I’m grateful I had that experience.
Alphabets AND Elements?
You're a wizard, Daniel.
Daniel Radcliffe got bored of being Harry Potter, so he became Hermione Granger.
jimin and woojin's busan satoori lol
Lmao
jimin and woojin's busan satoori best comment!
OMG 😂
Vmac Vmac ikr
bloody hell harry
😂 He take some extra classes with Hermione
+Tamara Popovic xDDD
+Tamara Popovic r u stupid?
you're the only stupid one here, because you don't understand it!
Mikarix bahahHhaa
...and Al Yankovich saw that, and said to himself: "This guy *really* gets it." Boom! Instant casting.
OMG!!! Also, now Al should watch his rap of Slim Shady and Alphabet Aerobics...
I remember being in my year 9 science class and BEGGING my teacher to play it for us so to find that he knows all the freaking elements and can not only pronounce their name but rap them as well is like pretty mind boggling! Lol I must have revised that periodic table so freaking much and I can barely name 20 elements off the top of my head haha xxx
So that's what was on page 394....
clever
What? Is it a harry potter reference cuz if it is im lost....
Hahaha
Captain Obvious yeah in book 3 Snape says turn to page 394...
Hahahahaha
fuckin take that Hermione
Phil
my child is in your profile picture
ahaha
Don't cry, CRAFT!!
•• LizzieJo •• PROTIP
I remember seeing this when it was first aired... Daniel is brilliant and actually sings it faster than Tom Lehrer!
that's what being nervous will do for you! My music teachers always complained I never played fast enough except at recitals.
And this clip right here allowed Daniel Radcliffe to play the role that he will forever be remembered for, no other role will compare to the role that he got because he did this song.
"now clap"- Daniel Radcliffe 2016 😂😂😂😂😂
2010*
Ikr
2010
2010
also sounds like a harry potter spell aswell
Comment after 300 likes and 3 years after the first comment
Another reason why I love Daniel Radcliffe - he knows Tom Lehrer! WHOOO!!!
1,000 points to Grryfindor for that!
"He gets it." -- Weird Al Yankovic
I mean, c'mon, audience! If you're gonna clap, at least clap on beat! lol
Kristina Staab its a crowd full of white British people, what did you expect 😂
Emack B that’s racist i mean if this was done in America the room would have been shot up. Also I didn’t see the need for ‘white’
MrBalloon it would have been shot up. Damn someone can’t take a joke 😂
Emack B that was a joke noice
"Hush! Quiet!"
Hmm... Mr. Radcliffe, I think I may have the next role for you...
Trvial Hermione is Harry's new role
here from his interview with Jimmy Fallon. love this. can't wait to see him as Weird al
The wonderful Daniel Radcliffe and the amazing Tom Lehrer; a team-up I'd never considered. Fantastic!
i learnt this 4 years ago and i still havent been able to forget it....
Dil
PurpleCubicPanda omg your icon is so cute!
DilHowlter Thank you! I can't take credit for it though... :)
+DilHowlte same thing. I've learned it 3,5 years ago and still remember everything
roger nguyen ASAP science has one in order of atomic number
You're a physicist, Harry.
Chemist but good one!
+Thiago de França but physics doesn't study the elements, these two sciences have something in common but they are developed in two different branches
Chemist*
Harry, WHERE ARE YOUR GLASSES?
its life
I love that song so much. I could hear the piano parts in my head while he sang, and he tried to keep in the same pauses Tom Lehrer had in existing videos.
Absolutely
He did the alphabet aerobics and the elements, he's totally a rapcliffe 🧚
"Quiet, quiet... now clap."
Lmao
He omitted the ending: "These are the only ones of which the news has come to Hahvard, and there may be many others, but they haven't been discahvered."
I love that this is the clip that Weird Al saw that landed Daniel the Weird Al biopic
Finding out that this video ended up being the reason he got the role of Weird Al is just so great lol
And Snape finally gives one point to Gryffindor
Can only hope :)
But that was after he took 100 points from Gryffindor for Harry telling the audience to shut up. Lol!
Dumbledore be like: 10,000 points to Griffindor
Is it me or does Daniel Radcliffe look like Harry Potter?
+ken dar yea I know I was being sarcastic
No he's totally not looking like him. It's like saying Emma Watson looks like Hermione Granger
I dont think so,but rupert grint looks like Ron weasley 😝
+Arabella D. xD
Daniel Redcliffe is the actor who acts HARRY POTTER
Came here after finding out Weird Al saw this and asked Danial to be him in the biopic based solely on this!
yup he sure did
"Stop"...."now clap" lol LEGEN...wait for it...DARY! Between THIS an his Alphabet Aerobics bit on Fallon I'm just in awe...
I think everyone had to watch this in their second year science class, when starting chemistry.
Yep! Literally watched this in science class today
+The Sarcasm Slay Queen Yeah we just did but it's first year here...
+Daniella B sameeeeeee
this would have zero use in chemistry >
same
Damnnnnn Daniel!!
Erza Scarlet p
Hello Artemis
Lol
And that’s folks where Weird Al noticed that Daniel Radcliffe was perfect for the up coming Weird Al Yankovic biopic.
“This guy gets it”
- Weird Al Yankovic
"NOW CLAP!"
I'm glad to see that Mr. Potter is embracing his muggle heritage.
Yesss!! Tom Lehrer is the best, and sung by one of my favorite actors!
I am a potterhead, so my chemistry teacher told me about this song 😂
Who else had to watch this in science class?
me
me
Me
Suzie Holland Yep
I did and that's his fave song
Still better rapper than iggy azaela
she's probably better at spelling than you?? we cant have everything!
Buuhuuu we got the mom jokes. This brings me back to middle school. Grow up you stupid waste of air. Oh and would you like some cream for your butthurt?
Oh and just so you know dictionaries are not that expensive child. You could learn a lot of words and grammar from it.
Not only are you stupid buy a pretty dumb puppet. Anyways smartass, it's nice to see there is people who felt the pain in the ass after my comment.
jordanmyerscough23 SHUT UP AND STOP BEING SO BUTTHURT
I actually memorized this after hearing this song on The Big Bang Theory💕 then I heard him... I challenged my self. And then after weeks I finally got it💙 I'm 13😂😂
This is what got him the role of Weird Al, no joke.
all the cool science teachers will show you this video. that was mine last year c;
Luckyyy
same
I showed Daniel Radcliffe doing the alphabet rap to my chemistry teacher, then she found this in the recommended and made us learn it
My teacher showed it too, and i'm not even learning chemistry in English
Mine did it yesterday
"...then staht the next verse." ♡
And here folks is the moment that Daniel landed the Weird Al biopic roll.
I watched this in science
Me : Starts Doing It
The Whole Class : Stares at me
Omg I love him! The whole "be quite!" thing I bet that's what 90% of performers are thinking when people start to clap but he actually said it lol
Daniel: "Hold on, quiet! Shh! QUIET!!"
(Audience laughs)
Omg Dan you are hysterical! I love you! 💖💖💖💖 I laughed so hard when he did this! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The same, really
As if he weren't already off the charts delightful.
Lehrer is indeed a genius. Him and Weird Al are right up there at the top! The fact that Dan is such a fan of both gives him high marks for character, intelligence, and quirkiness. Love it! I've loved Tom Lehrer since my friend introduced me to his work when were in high school in the 1990s. Even I have to admit that I was never quite so dedicated as to memorize this specific song. I know several Lehrer songs by heart; this is not one of them!! Major props to Mr. Radcliffe for memorizing this, and performing it so well! If he had had accompaniment, I bet he would have done even better; he was kind of rushing through, a bit. The tempo really is that fast, but the accompaniment lends the proper meter and cadence, and doesn't skip hastily over the instrumental measures. Dan was trying to just show off his party trick as quickly as possible, rather than actually performing the song. Which, in this context, was probably the correct assessment of the audience's attention span. Still, very well done!
I love that he's such a nerd and isn't afraid to show it
Does anyone else notice that he puts his finger to his mouth to say 'quiet', but his hands are down when he says 'shh'?
magic
I just found it ironic
?
I think he got his hands confused because he was trying to remember everything.
I enjoy this as much as other Tom Lehrer songs. Love it when he asks them all to shush and then finally says 'now clap.'
My teacher did this for a talent show and halfway through he said “what do you do with a dead chemist? You barium!😂😂😂😂”
My science teacher brought me here.
erm no...
+Delbert Woodard same here
So did mine. She mentioned Daniel Radcliffe in class and everyone turned around to look at me 😂😂
same XD

The British accent makes it sound more hilarious
Emma's life I'm not british but british accent is so nice.
@@yvesm.8855 what one? Scottish, English, Northern Irish or Welsh?
"These are the only ones of which the news has come to Ha'vard,
And there may be many others but they haven't been discavard."
Audience jumped in too soon with the applause!
@@thejoyofsoxmovie7211 I know! 🤣🤣🤣
"QUIET, QUIET.....now clap" love this man; smart and funny!!!🤣🔥
He's so cutee

NOW CLAP FOR I AM HARRY POTTER!!
Love it. I love it most of all because he is a gallionaire but still gets nervous about a challenge like that. A true brit
The boy who lived, raps.
You are a rapper, Harry.
He used a spell to remember all that #HarryPotterCheats
Harry Potter knows his elements.
Ya don't say.....
"These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard … & there may be many others, but they haven't been discovered!" 😂
And that’s how Daniel got his movie role as Weird Al. True story💪
This is one of these reasons he is my favorite actor! Go "Harry"!!!!
You're a genius Harry
THAT got him the part as Weird Al xD
That's bizzarre.
Which is just perfect tbh.
"Now clap" Lmao he's adorable, such a nerd
