First-Order Logic and set theory: Istanbul (¬Constantinople)
Constantinople → Istanbul

Istanbul & ¬Constantinople

¬Return(Constantinople)

Time(¬Constantinople) = long

TurkishDelight ↔ MoonlightNight

for all Gal ∈ Constantinople, Lives(Gal,Istanbul) & ¬Lives(Gal,Constantinople)

Conclusion: Date(you,Constantinople) → Waiting(her,Istanbul)

OldName(NewYork) = NewAmsterdam

Reason(changed,it) = Prefer(people,NewYork,NewAmsterdam)

¬Return(Constantinople)

Time(¬Constantinople) = long

Reason(Constantinople,works) = ¬Business(¬Turks)

Then you'll never say the word procrastinate again, you'll never see yourself in the mirror with your eyes closed.

I was wondering what Birdhouse and Dead had to do with this, but then I remembered that many people don't realize that:

(¬∃ Lad)(Lad ∈ Authors(Istanbul) & ◊(Lad ∈ Giants))

Ah, yes. The song is popular in recent generations because of TMBG, so most people will, in fact, draw that connection.

By the Four Lads, 1953...

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

Evr'y 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'

Istanbul!!

Istanbul!!
