They Might Be Giants - Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

Published by Toronto Mike on April 22, 2007 @ 15:14 in Videos

tvAn old favourite video of mine was They Might Be Giants' "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)". It's actually a fairly old song, dating back to the 1920s, but the They Might Be Giants version is the only one I know.

In 1990, MuchMusic began airing this very cool video for the song. Accept no substitutes.

Mike,
Awesome video, I saw them a while back, Mid 90's at Buffalo State College at rockwell hall, AWESOME show absolutely incredible. If im in a bad or depressed mood, I put in something silly like TMBG and it lightens my mood almost immediately....

Woo! TMBG Rocks! Let me know if you want any tracks. Though it pains me to say I haven't followed them in the last couple of years, the first 6-7 albums I have are all good for a spin now and again. :)
