The original 4:3-version is still on YouTube. This converted version is just an experiment, but if you watch this copy, you will get to hear Tom Lehrer's spoken intro. Try to click under the video window for higher playback quality or add &fmt=18 to the url to manually alter the playback resolution. It will not change too much though, because of the test conversion to wide screen. 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 :-) Watch Wernher von Braun on ZDF at 1:12:10 here: http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/content/Der_Raketenmann_Wernher_von_Braun/794106?inPopup=true Check out more about the German national anthem here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschlandlied Tom Lehrer has accepted the publishing of the songs on The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel.
