Can't stop watching this. The tune was always a tongue twister of highest format.The combination of this and the totally unrelated Fred Astaire clips makes it even better. Very Clever.
Забавно. Я услышал от одного человека в 1968 г. на отдыхе некую интерпретацию, если можно так назвать, по русски : во стамбуле, константинополе, шли стиляги , ушами хлопали. Что то мне запало в ум. В СССР было много запретов, в том числе в области музыки. Спустя десятки лет , я услышал оригинал. и был в то время счастлив.
~ This song, 1953 to 1990 to 2018, still fresh!! Terrible decade for many people in the USA, except in the 1950s there was much great music. Not a friend of the decade except for the tunes. Appreciate this novelty classic, updating the Four Lads original. This is brilliant ~ Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

Fun! I play a version of "Istanbul" that mixes the Four Lads with They Might Be Giants for folks in assisted living centers. I had considered doing a mash-up with "Puttin' On the Ritz" so it's particularly gratifying seeing a video featuring Fred Astaire, who made the latter song famous.
I really like the song. I have no idea of the politics and the trauma within the history of the Istanbul / Constantinople song. Just wanted to let the band know they are amazing. Love to you, everyone X
not much trauma tbh. Christian League plundered the also Christian Constantinople many times during Holy Wars and ruined it, Ottoman Turks swept in and conquered the broken Empire, repopulated it with the natives, let the once prohibited Armenians into the city and so on.
@@brainblox5629 yeah those Armenians love the Turks just like the Greeks who lived their when the ottomans took it and when a few incidents that never happened ever happened
@@ConmanCAM Armenians were never content with the Eastern Romans. Their church was declared heretic by the Greek orthodox church. They weren't allowed into Constantinople. Were being resettled to assimilate them by force. Thats why Emperor Heracleos allied with the Western Göktürks under Tong Yabgu against Persia - because he couldn't trust the Armenians. Read some history and not your fascist propaganda leaflets.
I got here from DrWorm from They Might Be Giants who sang this very song for a Tiny Toons episode. The original song was made in the 50's... For the 800th birthday of the fall of Constantinople when the Ottoman empire took it apparently. That was a weird youtube run my friends...
1453 constantinople fethinden sonra Osmanlıda adı değişmez. Basılan osmanlı parasında da adı aynı kalır. Kurtuluş savaşından sonra şehri Türk'leştiren Atatürk, adını da İstanbul yapar, 28 mart 1930 da resmileştirir. Hükümet yabancı ülkelere ihtarname çekerek, constantinople yerine İstanbul, angora yerine Ankara, smyrna yerine İzmir kullanılmazsa, tüm yazışmaların iade edileceğini belirtir ve yapar. Tüm dünya ülkeleri bunu kabul eder, toplumunu ikna etmek içinde 1953 yılında meşhur kanadalı Four Lads grubuna bu müziği yaptırır. Son cover 1990 yılında they might be giants tarafından yapılmıştır.
ABD'nin en popüler caz gruplarından biri olan Paul Whiteman ve Orkestrası 'Constantinople' adlı bir şarkı kayıt etmiş.Bu şarkıya müzikli bir yanıt ise, bir kaç yıl sonra Kuzey İrlandalı birinden, Jimmy Kennedy'den gelmiş. Sözlerini Kennedy'nin yazdığı, müziğini Nat Simon'un o dönemin popüler dans müziği swing tarzı yaptığı 'Constantinople değil İstanbul' adlı şarkının piyasaya çıkmasıyla birlikte ortaya adete bir müzikal atışma çıkmış. KENNEDY Türklerden başka kimseyi ilgilendirmez diyor.
Istanbul = to the city (in greek) this is greek word too like Constantinoupoli = city of constantinos. choose the one you like and if you dont, then find a turkish word for them. I dont have problem with the name. I love this city so much. The song too.
Just love this song! A catchy beat centred around a pivotal moment in history when the Ottoman Empire took the stage and Constantinople became Istanbul.
sincere loves from istanbul..long live istanbul-the constantinople...long live turkish-greek brotherhood...it's time to stop war and to live in istanbul-the constantinople together...

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, oh 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
