Subject: What Song is This?
Written By: apollonia1986 on 01/21/09 at 3:14 pm
Hi Everyone!
I need help finding a song I heard in the Early 90s on a show called Tiny Toon Adventures.
The name of the band singing the song is They Might Be Giants and all I remember of the song is this one line:
"...even Old New York, was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it I can't say, but I Guess they liked it better that way!"
If anyone knows what the name of that song is, PLEASE PLEASE let me know! I love that song!

Istanbul (Not Constantinople) by They Might Be Giants
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks
Istanbul (Istanbul)
Istanbul (Istanbul)
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
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
So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks
Istanbul
