Istanbul - They Might Be Giants. MTV Europe, 1990
Posted by: astralbee

Video duration: 117 seconds

Welcome to the video that has become a full time occupation for me. Every day I remove hundreds of comments from angry Turks/Greeks who think this lighthearted cover of a 1950's song is an attack on their political views. In fact, it is just Brooklyn's ambassadors of love They Might Be Giants performing 'Istanbul Not Constantinople' live on MTV Europe in 1990.

They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse live on 815 from Manchester
Posted by: astralbee

Video duration: 235 seconds

A UK television appearance from 1990. Sadly, UK music shows still had a policy of lip-synching back then, but TMBG countered that by having a slightly different mix of the song prepared for the occasion.

Video duration: 319 seconds

They Might Be Giants in interview on UK television in 1988.
I think They might have been stung by bees because their lips seem massive on this footage. For a moment I thought the band had been replaced by Thunderbirds.
