They Might Be Giants: Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

At first sight, amusing lyrics - or too supperficial - provocative video - a sort of childish joke - , pure and simple fun.

In essence, maybe nostagic, ironic and good hommage to a city and its complicated history.

A nice remind of changes - not only of names-, a fair remind of old administrations and new ones and a great story about identity, past in clash against present and, sure identity of a place like a word.

Enough humor for large pubic, smart clues for the people knowing little more and a beautiful film about names and decisions and consequences of passing time. And, sure, a song , nostagia inspiring itself.
