For the uninitiated, 'The Elements' is a song written in 1959 by musical humorist and mathematician Tom Lehrer, which recites the names of all the chemical elements on the periodic table. Actor Daniel Radcliffe famously sang it on a British chat show and helped introduce the song to a new generation. One such fan is three-year-old Rose, who first attempted to sing the catchy tune when she was just

The Riverdance became a big deal a little more than a decade ago, when foot-tapping extraordinaire Michael Flatley brought the traditional Irish step dance to a broad audience. But you don't hear so much about the man or the dance he popularized these days. However, the next generation of riverdancers may just be poised to bring the jig back. Behold, the Baby Riverdancers.

2012 has already offered a bevy of what will no doubt go down as the best viral videos featuring kids of the year. Thanks to the proliferation of camera phones and other video devices, the chance that kids' humorous antics are captured on video for all to see has never been higher.

'Star Wars' fans think of Han Solo and his furry partner in crime Chewbacca as the coolest renegades in the galaxy. They're both tough as nails and aren't afraid to shoot someone with lasers or let out an indecipherable grunt. Now picture both of these sci-fi movie heroes as babies and you get two of the cutest little gentlemen in cosplay history.

Somewhere along the way, an egg-toting, gift-giving rabbit became associated with the Easter holiday. We assume that soon after, sadistic parents decided that it would be fun to make sure any likeness of this generous rabbit should be creepy and frightening so they can take pictures and video of their children being completely freaked out.

Every great leader, evil dictator, rock star, even, erm, Justin Bieber, began life as a baby. Most never knew they were destined for greatness when they were very young. But some, like this baby, just know when they have the power and the masses in the palm of their hands. Watch as this baby controls a crowd's cheers by just raising his hands... with a little help from mommy too.

Dressing up your child is just one of the great perks of being a parent. Take, for instance, this couple, who dressed up their eight-month-old baby as everyone's favorite 1960s ad-exec, Don Draper from 'Mad Men.'

As any parent knows, strollers are great for toting your tots around, but, let's face it, they just don't have that cool factor. To remedy this, research engineer Bhautik Joshi at Industrial Light and Magic tricked out a baby stroller with electroluminescent wire and made something worthy of 'Tron.'

A video featuring Alicia Silverstone chewing up food in her mouth and then feeding it -- mother bird style -- to her 11-month old son Bear is causing waves on the internet.

Learning to ski can be exciting and fun, but it can also take a lot out of you. Young Bode knows all too well how physically exhausting a day on the slopes can be, as he fell asleep standing up in his skis after a rough day on the mountain.

It's one thing when Gwyneth Paltrow names her child Apple, or M.I.A names her's Ikhyd. Those celebrities have the resources to deal with the problems that can arise when a child is given an odd name. However, experts are increasingly seeing 'naming regret" among normal folks who give their babies not so normal names.

William Stokkebroe is 2 years old and loves Elvis Presley. So much so, in fact, that after watching his parents Kristina and Peter dance professionally for the past couple years, he felt the need to unleash his own boogie routine to 'Jailhouse Rock' on the dance floor. Long story short, he's now one of the cutest viral video stars of today.

Research suggest that babies are born with a predisposition to dance. So would this video of nine month old twins. They just can't help but get down when they hear one of their toys play the song 'It's a Small World.' Get ready to smile.

Adele is inescapable these days. The British singer continues to dominate the charts, and her songs are all over the radio and YouTube, thanks to aspiring singers uploading their covers of her many hits. Adele's music influences both young and old alike. Even the really young adore Adele, as evidenced by two-year-old Makena, who looks so cute as she mumbles through 'Someone Like You.'

Blowing soapy water to make bubbles is a right of passage for every child. Seeing glistening bubbles float in the air made us all instinctively want to touch them just to see what would happen. It's no different for this little baby boy, whose joy sees no bounds as bubbles fall down on him for the first time.
