Hey...on this date in 1930, the city of Constantinople changed its name to Istanbul. Heh heh, you know, there's a song for that.

At least I don't have "C-O-N-S-T-A-N-T-I-N-O-P-L-E" stuck in my head anymore (Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra). Harry Barris singing the alphabet is the most adorable thing in the world, but Skin Young doing the woman voice? Wrong. Just scary and creepy and wrong.

Gah. I lurve TMBG podcast 5B because...because. 'Cause it's got random fun stuff. You can't say no to wax cylinders, swimming pools, strangling ducklings, metal detectors, "It's Not My Birthday"...and how about that old recording at the end urging us to vote for FDR? Yeah man!

...seriously though, the Dems need to get a new FDR up there for election, because otherwise the evil Republican empire is going to take over the world! (Like The Brain, only not as funny.)
