Needless Correction

An awful lot of people have written to inform me that They Might Be Giants were/was not the first recording artists to record "Istanbul, Not Constantinople." I know…honest. In fact, I have the hit version by The Four Lads on the jukebox in my living room. I didn't say They Might Be Giants had written or originated the song, folks; just that Craig Ferguson and his puppets were performing to a tune by the group.
