Did You Know This?

Istanbul
"Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" is a swing-style song, with lyrics by Jimmy Kennedy and music by Nat Simon. The tune is similar to and possibly based on the music for "Puttin' on the Ritz", written by Irving Berlin in 1929. The Four Lads originally recorded it on August 12, 1953. Columbia Records as catalog number 40082 released this recording. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on October 24, 1953, and it peaked at #10. The lyrics humorously remind the listener of the change of the name of the city Constantinople to the Turkish name of Istanbul, professing uncertainty about how and why the names of cities change. The song also mentions, for the sake of comparison, the fact that New York City was originally named New Amsterdam. If you want to listen to the song go to: http://arbproductions.ca/mp3/4lads/4lads-istanbul.mp3
