Istanbul - They Might Be Giants. MTV Europe, 1990
 |
||
Welcome to the video that has become a full time occupation for me. Every day I remove hundreds of comments from angry Turks/Greeks who think this lighthearted cover of a 1950's song is an attack on their political views. In fact, it is just Brooklyn's ambassadors of love They Might Be Giants performing 'Istanbul Not Constantinople' live on MTV Europe in 1990.

Ha Ha Ha now that is great, its the first time I've actuay heared th whole song, he he he brings a smile to my face, I personly cant understand what all the fuss is about I ama turk, and i found nothing offensive about it, although the warbling wa a bit confussing, it just fit into the theam of the song

...It isn't propaganda. The song is merely stating that the city now called Istanbul was at one time called Constantine.

Maybe if you weren't so negative to the simplest and innocent of things there wouldn't be so much hate in the world...
