Hi there. Can anyone tell me the name of the song and artist used at the start of the end credits? It contains the words "Istanbul / Constantinople". I've managed to track down a song called Istanbul by The Champs, but since it is the Champs, it is only an instrumental version. I'd like to find out which vocal version was used for this episode.
(Later on during the credits I've Been Everywhere by Johnny Cash is played. I'm not interested in this song).
Many thanks
I think I might have found the song (Istanbul (Not Constantinople). I think the original was by The Four Lads, but the version used in the episode was by They Might Be Giants. Would appreciate it if someone could confirm this.
Many thanks

Yes, the brief clip at the end is of "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)," TMBG's cover from their album Flood.
If you want a wild experience, get a copy of the video for it (not the Tiny Toons one).
