  • This song was in my senior show and now I can not stop thinking about it.

  • DIE TURKS

  • You know, they could be just singing it for the sake of singing the song. -.-

    Also ask yourself this question: when you were young do you "ever" pay attention to the lyrics sung by a cartoon? and I'm talking about those that are about in the 20s by now.

    Here's a fact about myself: I never knew that the lyrics of the song "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy" in R&S was pretty bad, I meant the middle parts of the song when it sounds like it was from the rantings of a loonatic.

  • this video is great!! very cute! we r learning about this in history preety neat! =] thnx 4 posting!

  • LOL,I love this vido, my teacher ms jordan showed us this on youtube on her laptop during history, it gets stuck in my head all the time now!nhaha

  • I can only watch this video about once every 6 months lol- it gets stuck in my head way too easily. And to you, dtnrox, IT IS A CARTOON. WE ALL KNOW THAT DUCKS AND PIGS CANNOT TALK. when you were five, I'm sure you liked talking animals as well. And about the stopping to sing- DO YOU THINK A CARTOON WILL BE REALISTIC?

  • old school tiny toons :P

  • Although accuracy is not sought in cartoons, I believe, cartoon being not so obvious(for children), gives a false sense of accuracy.

    But this is funny, like most Tiny Toons, and music is great.

  • wow, i think everybody just needs to chill out and enjoy the video. i mean, this was some seriously good work and rather enjoyed it quite a bit. and first off, this is Looney Toons, since when is Looney Toons accurate? i mean, seriously, it's supposed to be funny and entertaining, that's it. historical and scientific accuracy would make for a bloody awful cartoon and we all know it. so just take a chill pill and enjoy.

  • God, this video's so inaccurate!!! Ducks and pigs CANNOT talk, and if those were chasing them, they wouldn't stop to sing! So stupid!!! You'd think they were just trying to be funny or something!!!

  • thank you , captain obvious for stating that ducks and pigs cannot talk

  • Pretty sure that was sarcasm.

  • That's a joke right?

  • This is a reply to someone.

  • Plucky + Hampton for the win!

  • This place's lookin like Egypt or Saudi Arabia. Not Istanbul.

  • Constantinople, Istanbul is the Turkish name, Constantinople is the Greek and Western name.

  • hmm....no. not the western name anymore.... i live in germany and don't know anyone who is calling istanbul constantinople.

    i mean Istanbul is the official name since almost 600 years......i just don't get how people especially in america, can say constantinople for istanbul. istanbul, or in that time it was still called constantinople, was conquered by the ottoman empire about 40 years before the discovering of america. i mean the first "real" settlement there began in the 17th Century!

  • Under the Ottomans, "Istanbul" referred only to the city centre - the metropolitan area as a whole was called "Konstantiniyye" (which is clearly just a Turkification of "Constantinople"). It was only after Ataturk's revolution that Istanbul became the city's sole name.

    Oh, and the most pious Turks used to call it "Islambol" - (city) full of Islam...

  • sikiim bu ne lan böyle istanbulda çöl möl

    ayrıca get this in your fucked brains "constantinapole" is no more it is İSTANBUL

  • i think everybody should take it serious. every child first gets his education by cartoons.

  • IİTANBUL SINCE 1453 ....

  • Constantinople forever!!!

  • Look for all the people commenting on the "accuracy" of the video... NEWSFLASH Tiny Toons(tm) where this video was ripped from was done in the 90's, a time when accuracy in CHILDREN'S Cartoons was not deemed paramount. Simply put there is no way this video was going to be accurate. It was done in a time before PC when it was still ok to satire stereotypes. It's for kids. Let it be and enjoy it for what it is, Children's Entertainment.

  • And i dont use camel...

    i use ferrari

  • noob video this is not istanbul

    this is false

    but (good music

  • istanbulmu.yok cöller yok develer.amcık agızlılar.istanbula gelinde görün biz deveyemi biniyoruz yoksa mercedese ferrariyemi.tabi sizde haklısınız 600 yıl anannızı kanıttıra kanıttıra siktik.amcuk hosafları sizi gappenin dölleri

  • I like that song!

  • I cannot believe how IGNORANT the makers of this cartoon are.

    Look at the incredibly false portrayal of Istanbul - this is definitely NOT Istanbul! This is somewhere in Saudi Arabia!

    Why had not they dared to take a look at some pictures of Istanbul before making this stupid cartoon?

    The real Istanbul is here: watch?v=2YAvfxA6a94&mode=relat­ed&search=

  • Good song. Video is cute. Can't care less about if it's acurate or not cause maybe the cartoon is singing about Istanbul but the setting is in a different location. The cartoon doesn't have to be about Istanbul does it, just because the song is about Istanbul

  • cool

  • Funny video but what is with that desert and the camel thing?!? Turkey is a peninsula. Istnbul is a city nearby the sea of Marmara The characteristic weather here is a somewhat cooler version of the Mediterranean climate. And Turkey in general has Mediterrean climate.

  • Istanbul was Constantinople

    Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople

    Been a long time gone, Constantinople

    Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

    Love the song! Looks like Arabia but who cares? Istanbul is a pretty green and blue city with forests and two seas if you wanna know..

  • sht! i missed istanbul. hope to be back this summer.funny cartoon :) i liked it.

  • umm... hello?! as has been repeated numerous times... THIS IS A CARTOON. It's not serious! Take a deep breath and chill.

  • Any other video can describe Istanbul as wrong as this evil minded video.The idiot or dishonorable producers try to brainwash by adveritising falsehoods like that. What a great succes was to establishment of Turkish Republic, since the rancour of emperialists capitalists has not dissappeared yet for about 80 years!

  • yes on the one hand it´s right.Turks and Arabs are equal but this cartoon is only something to relax and you shouldn´t take it serious

  • It's a good song. The video is wrong. You've got to be an idiot not to admit to that. I'm an american. I'll agree that we are idiots. Come on ppl you've got to know that Turkey has huge modern cities like Anakara (sp?). stupid ppl

  • ATTENTION PEOPLE THAT ARE TAKING THIS TO SERIOUSLY: Just repeat to yourselves "it's just a cartoon, I should really just relax".

  • istanbul ne zaman çöldü lann?

  • kompleksli orospu çocukları since1453 istanbul amını siktiklerim

  • perfect example of how americans are so educated about history, geography and cultures of the world ;-))

    and educate their kids with such cartoons..

    yeah yeah people in istanbul live in tents and ride camels to work..we are all like that right on the money..

  • uuhh efsun06 pull the pole out of your ass this show came out like 10 years ago and it was aimed at 6 year olds and besides no steriotype can exist without some truth to spark it.

  • uuuuuhhhh saitoshadow0 first don't use curse words, i didn't use any in my comment. second i don't care about a silly cartoon except the fact that Those then 6 years olds who watch these educational cartoons today are asking me all these dumb questions like is Turkey in mesopotamia or is it right next to Germany? so dumb cartoons & fox news what can i say?

  • İstanbul doesn't look like it! Istanbul is the most beatiful place in the world! You know it but you are lier:) I wish People can come to Istanbul, Turk is friendly nation, But not Gayreek:)

  • this video is soooo stupid!!

  • a good work on how istanbul looked 300 years ago(maybe even more).

  • istanbul böle bi yer deilki a.q :))) yaraklar ben istanbulluyum hayatımda öle deve falan görmüş deilim yoktuda çöl gibi yuapmışlar istanbulu istanbul eskidende öle deildi

  • so what makes you to put this istanbul vid dude? youre fuckin from USA.

    its sign of your hate or sympathy to turkey,istanbul?

    also explain these pls.

  • "Many people suppose Turks are just like Arabs.But IT IS WRONG"-yes u r right..there is no camels,deserts .and this girl(at the photo)'s drees is arabian not turk's.common turk people r so modern. if u come turkey , u see that. this video is bullshit. (in turkey we hate wearing like arabian people and extreme religious people.like that people r in every country.)

  • No need to be offended dear hanzade, it is meant to be fun. You know on Camel brand cigarettes it is written "Turkish blend" in the US. And they write "American blend" in Turkey on the same cigarettes. They also show redneck stuff. We all know that Americans are not red necks.. And Americans all know that there are no camels in Turkey. So, long live USA, the land of the free..Greetings from Turkey & Istanbul. Enjoy.

  • i remember this lol

  • good song

  • I don't think the length of the ducks tongue when he sees the picture of the girl is very accurate either, it should be about 10 inches shorter...

  • XD nice!

  • I love the song and the cartoon. It's a tribute to Istanbul, and people who object to it will find there used to be a Sultanate in Istanbul just a century ago. So, it's a historically accurate cartoon, and those who find it offensive only betray their own racism.

    What's wrong with Istanbul looking like a page from Arabian Nights? Oh, that's right, because we are no stinkin' Arab!

    Grow up, people. This kind of racism is unbecoming to Turks.

  • Ahhh.. good ol Tiny Tunes. I miss that show.

  • reminds me more of Aladdin

  • yeah you're right :)

  • The song is really good, but it is sad that Istanbul is introduced in such a way to kids. The producer has thought Istanbul is somewhere in Desert. Has anybody ever seen a camel in Istanbul??

    Yes, the video is really old, I've seen on tv about 10-15 years ago.

  • As a person who has lived in London, NewYork and Sydney(Australia) for many many years and has visited more than 15 cities in Europe, I can tell you that ISTANBUL is the best city of all. And as the song perfectly states its noboby's business but the Turks. Ofcourse ISTANBUL is nothing like in this cartoon but everybody knows WB is american and again everyone in this whole world knows that americans are the most ignorant people when it comes to travel soo LOL :))

  • "Ofcourse ISTANBUL is nothing like in this cartoon but everybody knows WB is american and again everyone in this whole world knows that americans are the most ignorant people when it comes to travel soo LOL"

    Right.. because you've been traveling to Istanbul since 330

  • what i don't understand is why people are offended by camel?? it's just an animal you know. Aussie's have kangooroos and we have deers in midwest so what.people sometimes get so damn shallow ohh let's not forger the cock and the french..only animal sings while its feet are in deep shit..

  • Istanbul is the city where I live. I loved this classic cartoon with old-fashioned Istanbul.

  • i'm from iowa and everyone thinks the only thing here is corn, but i live in a city of over 500,000 people! there's no corn here! just like there's no desert in istanbul. its a cartoon!

  • lol cute cartoon.but still have to agree with other comments not a single thing similar to Istanbul(haha camels=) )

  • putin on the ritz

  • you dont know how istanbul looks like

  • As a video it's nice but when the children watch they will think Istanbul's like this even there's no connection.

  • I watched this tiny toon cartoon in early 90s, when I was a 6th grade student (I live in Istanbul). I was shocked and disappointed to see Istanbul was represented like this.. If a was a non-Turkish 6th grade student, I would have though that in Turkey, there are deserts and there are still kings! (Secular republic since 1923 guys!). Shame on Warner Bros for this.

  • yes..yes..we are crossing the Bosphorus Bridge by camels..LOL :)

  • This is a shame on you guys! You're supposed to teach sth to the children by using cartoons right? So what kind of an ignorant idiot can write down a script like this without having any information about a place and people? Oh, if this cartoon was created in early 1800's then it's my mistake sorry for that :)

  • It is a very funny song and nice cartoons. I am Turkish myself and I liked it. Good work... Don`t mind comments coming from people whose worlds are shallow and who do not have any sense of humour. There are people with complexes everywhere.

  • by da way about entertainment and art,it s a very nice cartoon,that's right:)

  • man,istanbul is not constantinople,that's right;but istanbul is not bagdat or cairo,either.It is not a desert city,Turkey is NOT a desert country,it is full of forests and steps,but not DESERTS!and istanbul is one of the greenests.nearest desert is thousands kilometres away from istanbul. can't these cartoon makers look at ansiclopedia before describing some place??

  • deragatory of Turk and Arabs

  • nice vid...but there is no camel in istanbul =) lol

  • turkey :) STFU

  • i really like this music..i watched this cartoon before ''yes i know i'm 21'' but in history Istanbul never to be like that..You guys will find so many video about Istanbul :)

  • ya siz turk musunuz

    where do you all come from and how do you guys know istanbul so well ?

    are you from america or something

  • so funny ... :D

  • Put aside the istanbul crap but learn this you ignorant people. Do we -so called easterners- say that every christian people are from the same nationality? Of course we don't, yet you incredibly ignorant westerners always think that every muslim is Arab. Turk does not mean Arab. Persian ppl are not Arabic, even Arabs have lots of difference among them. Next time, before having an idea, have some knowledge first. Period.

  • for amerikan people it exist only 2 art of human

    the amerikas and the others ...

  • dudes its just a video, any intelligent person would know this isnt istanbul, camels, desserts?? what the fuck.

  • Yeah any INTELLIGENT person can know it! But look what he wrote to the "explanation of this video" : "i know there are camels in Istanbul."

    Wtf lol... I dont care about toon. But how can a person be that ignorant? Oh yeah i forgot she is an american?:D

    Actually he must be over-educated for them since he knows Istanbul is a city :). U dont know any shit about others but do u know anything about ur country? %50 of america is not even voting that shows u are not even caring about urselves.

  • i do agree with istman75..calm down guys..

    i loved it!!

  • The places in this cartoon are more like Egypt (Cairo, Alexanderia?) but not Istanbul. Not that I dislike Egypt or Egyptian culture but this is the fact.

  • I'm a very patriotic Turkish and I loved this clip! Don't be such a fool to show stupid reactions to such a comic cartoon. Many people already know how modern (some parts though) look like, so who cares the others? Be patriotic but be a smart patirotic to show reactions not to such a clip but to real threats in daily life. Brgrds to everyone.

  • yeah yeah istanbul is not constantinapolis at least they have learned it,it had been nearly 600 years when this song was written,but i apriciate it is stil a procces.

  • Ha ha ha very funny clip... cheers from istanbul Where Two Continents Meet

  • as hakansergin said, this is just a funny cartoon... no need to be offensive... istanbul is one of the most beautiful cities in the whole world and that cartoon doesnt change that...

  • i have this clip on my computer, and i just love it... and i'm turkish! never thought this was implying anything bad about us... it's just a cartoon and it's funny!

  • Same here. It's amazing how some people get so offended by a cartoon. I saw this cartoon in mid-90s when I was living in Turkey...It was aired on Show TV (is there still a Show TV?)

  • THERE R NOT İSTANBUL İN THİS MOWİE.THERE R ONLY ARABİC CİTY OR SCENE. YOU MAKE FALSE WRONG İNTRODUCTİON.İSTANBUL ARE NOT A DESERTCİTY. cihat ak

  • Dude you want to comment in your own language that's cool but if you're going to do it in English learn how to form correct complete sentences.

  • Türkçe yazınca anlayacakmısın?

  • istanbulu bunun kadar kötü yansıtıcak bir çizgi film olamaz.Bütün dünya zaten bizim çöllerde develerle gezdiğimizi zannediyo buda tuzu büberi oluyor :)

  • LOL. Most Americans know nothing about Europe or Asia. Cos they just dont care about the world. They are just interested in themselves. U're just another proof. But i won't accept that all americans are stupid.

  • Ok smart alleck, what do you know about America? huh? You think that we have some sort of responsibility to knowing your primitive way of life, get real. I saw one turk in my entire life and I called her "Anne Frank" just to piss her off, that's about all I need to know about your wretched land, you give Eastern Europe the bad name that it has. Freak.

  • i love americans because your mother is american...

  • Are you really surprised? Because you only write english because I do . . . If me and the other Americans started writing french, you pathetic ingrates would write in french, so please, don't try to be a smart aleck shame of Europe.

  • you cant write in any other language but english your capacity is not enough.fils de put!jaime les americaines parce que la mere de kumatto est americaine.

  • Hi Kumatto! Nice name. Are you Chinese?

  • you don't care about turkey???? ..

    That's why your "bush" trying to get permission to land your planes on our country.. you and your stupid wars shows who is the real "primitive".. your whole counry licked our ass about sending soldier to middle-east.. so before you comment to anything.. read some newspaper..

  • We're not. I always cringe when one of my fellow citizens prove the "Americans are all arrogant, spoiled jerks who don't care about anyone else" sterotype. But trust me, alot of us aren't. It just seems that the "arrogant jerks" voice themselves more.

  • I'm surprised you know how to write.

  • What are you talking about you stupid dick Turkey is the only country back up US in middle east . I am a british citizien and I like to tell you we hate americans in here . You ignorant people. FAT ARSE FACE .

  • Well I do not care about a cartoon but here is a classical reaction from an american who is probably not capable of showing their own country on map. They think the rest of the world is here to amuse them. Go to a land. Kill all the natives. Expoliate the world. Then be proud of your "civilazition". Drown in your own vomit you mother fucker.

  • I've got some

    Advice for you, little buddy.

    Before you point your finger

    You should know that

    I'm the man,

    If I'm the fuckin man

    Then you're the fuckin man as well

    So you can

    Point that fuckin finger up your ass.

  • you surprise my ass man...I agree fascism or nationalism is not good but being wrongfully accused is no good, too. Even a person wouldn't like to be known different than who he/she is, right.

  • @Kumatto- I think American's care much about Turks. That is why they have made this :)

  • discusting!! how u guys think that its istanbul , or turkey... u know what? turkish is one of the modernest city in da europe!!! think twice guys!! turkey is not arabia , suriq , iran or irak!!! and will never be!!!

  • nice track always liked it.

  • Do not confuse Turks with Arabs.

  • i am living in istanbul since 23 years.. but i dont see ever a camel.. a desert .. what is this ???

  • Er.. I'm pretty sure that episode of Tiny Toons had that song. Why are you guys spreading false information?

  • dudes if there are camels in istanbul why the f..k does my ass freeze every winter in here? if any of you cowboys can find a camel which can survive in istanbul in witer more than 2 days ill let the camel lick me

  • can any tourist see camel or deserts in istanbul?Many people suppose Turks are just like Arabs.But IT IS WRONG.maybe it is only an interaction with them like the people in Bulgaria,Greece,Georgia,Iran,E­gypt etc. The Ottoman Empire has all of them ,naturally the Turks have an interaction with them but not so in cartoon.

  • the turkish capital istanbul and turks has nothing to do with arabs and arabic themes. write this down if this is too hard to remembers for you orientalist guys.

  • Turkish capital is Ankara not Istanbul, yet Istanbul is the biggest city.

  • Hahaha Yeah Ankara is capital but u have also things to learn :)) Istanbul is not the biggest city of Turkiye ;) but we can use MOST FAMOUS CITY of Turkiye.

  • Istanbul is not the biggest city in Turkey? Last time I checked it was. :-)

  • Finally someone figured my mistake out after 1 month :). Thanks :P

  • it is a cartoon but reflects the typical orientalist western ideology. yeah right, those 'guys' in the 'east' and 'south' must be either japans or arabs. soo mystique and exotic nights in deserts with camels haha you damn barbars..

  • camel? desert? haha you are kidding!!!

  • flashback!!

  • dude, ITS A CARTOON.

    the music wasnt in the cartoon.

  • and an impotant thing too,in Ottoman Empire had Turks used not camels,they had used horses.Turks had to consider important their horses so much...

  • dont visit istanbul if you wanna see camels and deserts, this video might be a bit misleading. though the part where the duck's eyes popped out when it saw the woman..anyway. not every turkish man is like that. i hope.

  • loved it :)

  • yeah asitane's right tho... they made istanbul look more like an arab city or smt like that.  turks have nothin to do with arabs as far as i know. ;)

  • i think this videomaker is an idiot.no deserts and no camels are in turkey.they are not arabic,they are Turk.very very bad video...

  • haha, i know this song. only cause of one of my friends though. cute video. i used to tiny toons a lot when i was younger

  • You are true duygu.we don't use camels.It looks oriental but istanbul is not that place.We are more modern from the arabic countries.And no body use that hat.Bad cartoon.

  • i love your mother too mr baybore :)

  • hay ben senin bes yildiz veren eline sokayim

  • The story, animations , colors ,players & song are awesome.. However the real Istanbul architecture & concept is 5 million miles away from the clip.

    Anyway i really like the clip & gave 5 stars. especially for the Elmyra Duff :) sweetie devil

  • we dont have camels or desert in Turkey...and we are not arabicsss!learn stuff educate yourself, then make a cartoon!

  • When Tiny Toons went to different channels, some episodes were shortened, especially this one. Is this the original version, or a shorter one?

  • im not sure but i think this is the full version of the song

  • This is a cute video except there is no camels or desert in Istanbul. It looks more like Arabian Nights. 

  • I saw it on TV many years ago on Star TV, a Turkish TV channel. But they know us still wrong... Fezes, camels, swords and so on... Huh? Don't they watch TV? Don't they see the news? We're Turk man, not Arab :))

  • konusma lan

  • ahhhhh, the memories

  • nice song. however, for the curios, the closest camel/desert to istanbul is over a thousand miles.

  • Oh my god, I remember this. I've been looking for this song for such a long time. XD

  • I LOVE THIS FREAKIN SONG!!!!!!!!!!! LAWL lol

  • kittyboy suck it

  • This is the best movie i ever saw on a computer! i love this song i thank tyler and cruz for this comment

  • Ah, the video that made me a TMBG fan... and it was from Tiny Toons! :P Great scene with Plucky and Hampton as the two Johns towards the end...

  • Was this like actually on TV or did someone make it? If someone made it then they are awesome.

  • This was on an episode of "Tiny Toons".

  • i never thought that this would be old school. its not really that old is it?

  • this is cool...i wish i saw it when it was on.

  • It's so funny... why didn't I see it on the tv? ):
