Geocache Description:

PhMJ and I had dinner near here and decided to hide a cache. I had no idea what to name it, until PhMJ mentioned an old song. He says it was originally recorded by the Four Lads in 1953 and most recently covered by They Might Be Giants (1990), Ska Cubano (2006) and The Mad Russian (2011)**.


**And yes, he got me the information above. I have no idea what any of that means.

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople
Been a long time gone
Old Constantinople's still has Turkish delight
On a moonlight night

Every gal in Constantinople
Is a Miss-stanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it, I can't say
(People just liked it better that way)


Take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks'
