Tom Lehrer's songs are all wonderful.

I still remembr the day I did an internet search to find a website called "A Webpage Wasted on Tom Lehrer," along with annotations to parts of the song that I didn't understand.

This probably was too obscure. I will give one clue, then an answer in 24 hours. It's from a fake documentary, between 2000 and 2009, which had a sequel a year or two ago.

And yes, it's something about the potassium.

The line was instantly memorable to me, because it was so wrong, but other people probably remember other parts of the movie more.

Back before the Internet was popular, one of my friends from high school once telephoned Tom Lehrer with a question. He actually reached him. Lehrer was surprised that anybody still listened to his music. I think my friend was looking for a copy of a hard-to-find album and Lehrer mailed it to him. Anyway, I thought the whole thing was pretty neat, and I was impressed that it was possible to just call up Tom Lehrer on the phone, and that my friend had the courage to do it.

Andrew, alas, I have still entirely missed the clue. I think it's something I haven't seen.
