So take me back to Constantinople No, you can't go back to Constantinople Been a long time gone, Constantinople Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks (Blame Trivia Crack for this one... )
Watching the preposterously named Simon Sebag Montefiore's TV series on Byzantium reminded me of this daft cover of a 1950s novelty hit.
