Great song...Ferguson is the best on Late Night TV...just damn funny. Love this vid.

Fezzes are cool.

This is a song about Turkey, written by two Canadians, performed by a Scot on an American TV show. Seems like the ultimate compliment to ethnic diversity to me :-)

Fun as usual, Craig is the best host on TV, by a fucking mile.

By the way, I'm also a Turk but I don't really understand the effort of my fellow countrymen here to "show others the truth". No need for that, it's fun and I'm pretty sure almost everyone here knows that Turks don't ride camels or stuff like that. Just enjoy CraigyFerg.

@caxatay

I know that Istanbul was Constantinople. What else is there?

[UpsetRogue]

Just because we enjoy a laugh doesn't mean we're ignorant. This is just supposed to be funny...he is a COMEDIAN not a politician. o.O

[gabiluch87]

@caxatay I think it's just supposed to be pointless fun... they have a dinosaur puppet too at the beginning!!

What I love is when abstract absurdity's meaning is entirely lost when the vaguest of racist implications are made. "Never mind the songs about the changing of the name in the 1920s, or the fact its supposed to be just odd and goofy its racist and ignorant FUCK AMERICA"
