Interesting choice for your link...
I would probably pick the Wehrner von Braun song as his best -- but so many of his songs are brilliant.
It's one of his best, but also short. As a blog reader I don't like being linked to stuff that takes forever. There are plenty of others to check out right there on YouTube.
I would guess if you took a poll, his song about von Braun would not be in the top ten. What would be? Well, my guess is "Fight Fiercely, Harvard," "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park," "The Elements," "The Masochism Tango," "National Brotherhood Week," "Pollution," "New Math," "Who's Next?" and, of course, "The Vatican Rag." That's nine. I guess we should take one not from his original three albums, like "I Got It From Agnes" or "The Silent E."
I say "Give a hand to someone you can't stand" at least once a week for which I thank Mr. Lehrer.
