    One of the best covers of all time. Originally from 1953. Written on the 500th year anniversary of Constantinople falling to the Ottomans.

      Wrong. The original melody is from Irving Berlin. The song is called "Puttin on the Ritz". Nat Simon composed "Istanbul Not Constantinople" with very similar, almost identical melody but did not realize that or stole it. Nobody knows.

    I almost expected that guitar to start smoking and burst into flames at the beginning. That might be the most energetic acoustic guitar solo I've ever heard.
    I have a tendency to prefer the studio version to live performances. But I love this one. I has some serious energy as well as some fun playing with the line delivery.

      I really like the studio version and felt very dissapointed with this one... They have no voice power unlike the studio version.

      Tom Joad to be fair it’s been a while since the studio version. This performance from the 90’s in more like how it is on Flood: th-cam.com/video/JeQ-wjDH4F4/w-d-xo.html

      @@tomjoad1363 I agree, this was not their best rendition of the song. They seemed a bit lackluster here. I just saw them a month ago, and they were much much better with this song. They were also playing for a much bigger audience. So, it's good to know that they haven't lost their energy.

    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, mektupları iade edilmemesi için toplumunu da ikna etmek amacıyla, 1953 yılında meşhur kanadalı Four Lads grubuna bu müziği yaptırır. Son cover 1990 yılında they might be giants tarafından yapılmıştır.

    I first heard thus in Umbrella Academy and absolutely loved the song, as well as They Might Be Giants. I agree entirely with the commenter who said he usually liked studio recordings of songs. However, in the case of this song and band, their live recording of this song is far superior to the studio version. Also the acoustic guitar playing this song certainly should have begun to smoke as a result of the speed of the player.
    I had never heard this song before Umbrella Academy used it, and I just loved it. Bah-boom! And then, as a guitar player and lead singer from rock bands before joining the military. Irrespective, I still played and sang, but I left my "rock star" image far behind me for good reason.
    They Might Be Giants blow this song up live, and turn this song into an anthem for live music being incredibly storming and incendiary music that inspires players like into picking up our instruments again. This was just completely fantastic. Loved it.
