Tom Lehrer - Wernher von Braun - spoken intro - widescreen

borcer, well, that's a myth. Wernher von Braun never sued Lehrer. And Lehrer, on the other hand, is a man who always tells the truth. And he would never sue anyone, not even the Austrian artist Georg Kreisler (a ripper) or me (the indiscrete hacker).

Yes that's a myth I know, I believe Lehrer.
But I bet this song haunted von Braun to the end of his life :)
Have fun Swede ;)

borcer, I'm not sure, but of course von Braun never liked it (I guess). It's interesting that Wikipedia have now made a link from the von Braun article to this 42 year old video recording. People will also find the song on video by searching for von Braun in Google. This is clever satire and Lehrer's correction to history. A better version of the song in HQ is also on the channel.

must add: von braun got America, I repeat, America to the moon, not once, not twice, but five times. The tax money was being used on American soil, creating jobs. The man was a bloody genius, so, although it's a hilarious song, it's harsh!

he just retired in 2001 from being a college professor
