Istanbul was Constantinople, now it's Istanbul not Constantinople, been a long time gone, Constantinople, Why did Constantinople get the works? That's no body's business but the turks.

[metroid1985]

@VashFanboy1 what are you talking about?

[VashFanboy1]

@metroid1985 It's a "They might be giants" song that sounds a bit similar.

[metroid1985]

@VashFanboy1 oh, never heard of it

[tkemert20]

@VashFanboy1 You do know that song was made before They Might Be Giants even existed, right? It was by The Four Lads, dude.

[VashFanboy1]

@tkemert20 Yeah I'm aware of that. I just prefer the They might be giants cover.

[metroid1985]

@VashFanboy1 to each there own

[TheDynamon]

[WillYouBeThere2009]

I prefer Astaire's version... But this one is much better than Taco's !!!

[showjumper57]

Deal with it. This was the reality of the time. Don't try make yourself feel better by trying to rewrite history. Irving Berlin was a master, no matter you think.

Cheers

[metroid1985]

@showjumper57 who the hell are you talking to?

[gnativerson]

The BEST version imo !

[WildIrishHOES]

......this is incredibly racist?

[metroid1985]

@WildIrishHOES how do you figure?

[TheRealBanjo2]

@WildIrishHOES "Putting on the Ritz" is a slang term for dressing very fashionably or fancy. It was inspired by the famous Ritz Hotel, located since 1906 in Piccadilly, London.

Taco's video was racist because of the "Blackfaces"

[metroid1985]

@TheRealBanjo2 so its not this version thats racist, its toco's version, right?

[juneanthonywhite]

@metroid1985

Good point.

[metroid1985]

[TheRealBanjo2]

[WWIIace45]

@metroid1985 Karl Benz patented the automobile in 1863, & Henry Ford started mass production of the Model T in 1902

[KazakageoftheSand]
