Quoth They Might Giants, "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)": Istanbul was Constantinople Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople Been a long time gone, Constantinople Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks [VIDEO]
For these wondering, this is the song [VIDEO] Very catchy, it was re popularized by a netflix series a few years ago, j don't remember the name lf the series tho
My favorite TMBG song (from Flood): [VIDEO] (I don't know if they wrote it, but their performance is awesome). I noticed the blank spot in the promo. Probably a rights thing. :(
