"Wernher von Braun" is now REPUBLISHED for the third time to celebrate a lot of video views for the first versions published to YouTube. Why? Well, to offer the song in (even) slightly better quality. Use HQ if possible and play back the video on a single YouTube page to get a bigger video window. The older versions will stay on the channel. The song "Wernher von Braun", written well before 1964 -- and years before the landing on the Moon itself -- was recorded to Ampex video in Oslo, Norway, in 1967. The song was originally published on The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel in July of 2007 and was, in fact, the channel's first video. The original 4:3-version is still on YouTube, as is an experimental 16:9 converted version. But in reality you should use THIS version, which preserves the original 4:3 aspect ratio and is a great leap forward in terms of technical quality. Of course this version also includes Tom Lehrer's spoken intro. 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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschlandlied Wikipedia on Wernher von Braun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun In 2008 Lehrer really said "OK" to "The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel" on YouTube, as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the YouTube flash video format.

Please read this info taken from the Demented Database: "A film of "Pollution", featuring a cartoon of a bird playing a piano at a dump, combined with real scenes of industrial excess from across America, was made in 1966 & 1967 by Astrafilms for the U.S. Communicable Disease Center (not the Environmental Protection Agency as previously reported). The first cut in 1966 featured the live recording of "Pollution" from the LP, but this version of the film was not used. It was then redone in 1967, using more drastic scenes to really drive home the message. Tom and the producers agreed that it would be better to use a studio recording of the song without the audience, so he re-recorded it for the second version. It was then distributed by the National Medical Audio-Visual Center."The Demented Database is here:http://dmdb.org/discographies/lehrer.disco.htmlThe remains of the Communicable Disease Center are here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centers_for_Disease_Control_and_Prevention

The song in this video was written by Lehrer as early as 1952 or 1953 (may be even earlier), years before an Austrian version appeared, for which Lehrer did not get any credit. Sometimes Lehrer himself would cover other people's songs, but they were always credited. "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park" is a true Tom Lehrer original.
