Want to hear Lehrer's INTRO? A HQ version was posted on the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11. Click this link:

To make this song even more spot on, Lehrer used eight bars from the well-known German national anthem "Das Lied der Deutschen" as a song intro :-)

Check out more about the German national anthem here:

The publishing: Lehrer has accepted "The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel" on YouTube. He said OK as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the YouTube flash video format.

If you click on the user name you should know that the channel is Tom Lehrer only, with twelve songs on video from a 1967 performance. And here is a link to a NEW channel support page:

  • why dont songs like this appear on MTV?

  • Michael Neufeld stated it best by noting that... " it is comforting to pigeon hole him as either white or black, because then one does not have to deal with his ambiguity and complexity, or the ambiguity and complexity of the moral and political choices offered to scientists and engineers in the modern era. One thing is, however, clear: the foundation of his remarkable career as an engineer manager and space visionary was his romantic ambition to explore space, if possible personally.

  • Having nukes built by Jews delivered in rockets built by Nazis.

    Americans : )

  • Science is science, no matter who's fronting the bill.

  • That was fucking good!!!

  • @Goatie65 Once the rockets go up, who cares where they go down etc.

  • Von Braun's autobiography was called "I Aim For The Stars". Mort Sahl said he should have added "....But Sometimes I Hit London" ;-).

  • hmz bin so einsam

  • @TnseWlms cause his V2's crippled or killed them

  • Was Wernher von Braun a bad guy?

    A scientist who only cares for his or her research is a fool. Scientists who know their work is to be used for evil yet willingly continue are themselves, by definition, evil.

  • "und I'm learning Chinese, says Werner von Braun!" Man, not only was he funny, but he has a remarkable ability to see into the future it would seem.

  • @TnseWlms von Braun pioneered the Nazi V1 and V2 rockets which were used to bomb London during WWII
