Istanbul Not Constantinople

While I sometimes complain that my brain is full and can't hold any more and it's 90% song lyrics, sometimes those songs come in handy, like when I need to know what year the battle of New Orleans was fought, or what city is the capital of Kansas. Here's another one that ensures I never forget what Istanbul used to be called. Dan Veaner recreates the 1953 song made famous by The Four Lads all by himself, or all eight of him. (via Metafilter)
