Istanbul not Constantinople

For the last week, I have been singing the The Might be Giants version of the song,
Istanbul no Constantinople.

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

We landed straight into the worst traffic I have ever seen, but the rest of our time and stay was fantastic! A great city with outdoor cafes, bookshops and happy people.
