Brain, stop, I do *not* want “Istanbul, not Constantinople” playing on repeat

Comments

While you're at it. Include the great Tiny Toons version.

I had an awesome Social Studies teacher when I was in the 6th grade. He used this song and King Tut from Steve Martin to educate the class.

This video aired on TV afterwards. Friggen love me some TMBG!

Okay this is ALL OVER my bluesky today, and the tune is in my head, AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS OR WHERE ITS FROM HELP

lukebro92.bsky.social•164 days ago

Do I want to understand why this is suddenly flooded into my "discover" feed?

rystefn.bsky.social•164 days ago

You and I have very different desires in life.

barbiewithatude.bsky.social•164 days ago

Too late, now it's in mine. 🤨🙄🙂🙃🙂

thekirz.bsky.social•163 days ago

I found out TODAY that it's a cover via the Bluesky discourse.

"Istanbul, Istanbul!"

adsullivan.bsky.social•164 days ago

Why did Constantinople get the works?
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks

karlkleese.bsky.social•164 days ago

Fast forward to “Birdhouse in your Soul”.

lindaholmes.bsky.social•164 days ago

The first stop is always Istanbul

ariescorinthier.bsky.social•164 days ago

Then constantinople

tentaclepanther.bsky.social•164 days ago

But it's Istanbul, not Constantinople

therealdcf.bsky.social•164 days ago

Why they changed it, I can’t say.

thx3188.bsky.social•163 days ago

people just liked it better that way

gollyzilla.bsky.social•163 days ago

*instanbul

paulpower.bsky.social•164 days ago

It was stuck in my brain a few days ago, maybe it's contagious.

okazu.yuricon.com•164 days ago

Too late. I also had that happen.

cocaineowlbear.bsky.social•163 days ago

Want it or not, you're going to be wondering why Constantinople got the works all night.

twotothefifth.bsky.social•163 days ago

*flips over single*

There's an ant crawling up your head in the nighttime...

worldoffoo.bsky.social•164 days ago

But it's a good song....

aaand now it's stuck in my head too 🙃

pixeletor.bsky.social•164 days ago

The Georgia Satellites' "Keep Your Hands To Yourself" will quell your thirst and kill your taste buds for practically any other music. Go ahead. Take a sip.

zirtip.bsky.social•164 days ago

this is the second post I see about Istanbul, not Constantinople in a row

sarahweinman.com•164 days ago

Then again maybe this is the mayor’s version of the Curb theme

pronounced-ing.bsky.social•164 days ago

I am also having this issue

attackofhubris.net•164 days ago

This is nobodies' business but the Turks.

thegoonkills.bsky.social•164 days ago

You fucker! Now it’s stuck in my head!

liminalatlaw.bsky.social•164 days ago

And yet, you shared this where Innocents Like Me might see it and become infected.

deldryden.bsky.social•164 days ago

But it is the most amusing unintended consequence of everybody skeeting bits of the Adams indictment

iamchrisgam.bsky.social•164 days ago

Why is the suddenly back in the zeitgeist? I've seen other mentions today.

Was it on some Netflix show I don't watch?

dell-adams.bsky.social•164 days ago

The mayor of New Amsterdam, according to a federal indictment just released, *always* flew through Istanbul (not Constantinople). He always flew business for the perks.

iamchrisgam.bsky.social•164 days ago

Ah, and that's nobody's business but the Turks. Right. 😁

dell-adams.bsky.social•164 days ago

Did they bribe him? I can't say, but SDNY charged it that way.

iamchrisgam.bsky.social•164 days ago

Jesus, it writes itself 😆😆😆

bhay.bsky.social•164 days ago

Now that you’ve shared this, maybe it’ll work like The Ring and spare you by infecting others (me).

cdashiell.bsky.social•164 days ago

Byzantium!

dell-adams.bsky.social•164 days ago

Lygos!

Do do do...!

zigzaggin.bsky.social•164 days ago

I'll take it. I've had Kiss' Hard Luck Woman stuck in my head for days.

therealdcf.bsky.social•164 days ago

How about this one instead?

scottmintzer.bsky.social•164 days ago

As earworms go, that’s a reasonably fun & perky one.

marvinogravel.bsky.social•163 days ago

That's nobody's business but the Turks.

hikeofthemenrys.bsky.social•164 days ago

“Cruel Summer” (the Bananarama song, not the Taylor Swift song of the same name) just played in this bagel shop and now that’s the soundtrack of my day. Not bad, I’ll take it.

officialestpaizo.bsky.social•163 days ago

Dam it. Now my brain is doing it

daninoue.bsky.social•164 days ago

♪ Even old New York was...nobody's business but the Turks' ♪

gjmaupin.bsky.social•164 days ago

It got me, too. (Wife & I were saying earlier Adams would’ve done well to emphasize more Nope and less Bull in general. Then the singing continued.)

qbajjarandlampuki.bsky.social•163 days ago

I'm your only friend, I'm not your only friend, but I'm a little glowing friend, but really I'm not actually your friend, but I am. There you go, fixed it.
