holy poo! you dug deep on that one.... but nope.. so far,, all nopes... see what happens when stew goes and pointblank kill shots a question i lovingly prepared 4 guesses in...... sorryz,, but stew made me make it that hard...

Official Question:

They didn't write the song, but they sure made an awesome cover of it in 1993....
however the song wasn't entirely accurate.... so they made a REALLY new one released in 2009....

these are some super key words here....

OG: Have I Told You Lately That I Love You.

Yup, earlier today, thanks for the reinforcement though!

 

[super dave]

OG: We didn't start the fire

 

[Doug Dino]

Official Hint: The band is not main stream in Turkey, but boy do they shine at it's history... and if you ever met one of their members, they might have to look down to see you...

- happy good fun times thoughts guess doug d. what thunk? if my <ahem> induced crazy doesn't match DD's <ahem> particular brand of crazy, how will i ever get to smell the double rainbow?

and by my particular brand of crazy... i will assume you mean "BEST"!!!

 

[TS12000]

Oooh I'm gonna kick myself for not waiting for the guess if its who I think it is...

 

[Vapian]

OG: They Might Be Giants

This was on my narrowed down list yesterday but I couldn't make the dates line up. But given the hints, can't not run with it.

 

[Meowzebub]

i think maybe now it's istanbul, not constanstinople.

p.s. i already guessed, but it's still a fun song to have in your head.

 

[spartanstew]

I thought about They May Be Giants, but I discarded it because it was released in 1990.

Og: sober by tool ......idk but my brain hurts now

 

[levisdaddy]

OG: right said fred

If this one is correct I know Vapian has already won the point. I think this is the song DD was pointing us too. Who knows for sure. I've been known to be wrong once of twice in my lifetime

 

[Vapian]

I think this is the song DD was pointing us too.

Kudos to you; On review, I'd say you're right. Even thought "Istanbul" is also cover and was also re-covered and re-released, the dates for "Why..." match up exactly.

I see precisely how the song didn't get on my radar ... successful Internet research can require maddeningly specific search parameters. . . .

I had to pick the brain of my favorite music guru to come up with this obscure song. Thanks UW.

Hey Doug - If you need help coming up with questions, let me know. I can make some up for you. I'll just play along so no one will know......

 

[armadillo]

It doesn't matter which song. The question was "Name the band"
