Constantinople: Oh lawd he comin'

[@Danielthedrummer]

weirdest shit ever yet super catchy

[@ImaBigNerd]

There are so many memories behind this song for me. In '81 when punk was at its finest I had a friend who was super into the residents, he ended up lending me his copy of duck stab for me to listen to. The night he lent me the record I had a girl over, not to go into too much detail but things were 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 ;). She told me that she wanted to listen to some music while were, y'know. I had fucked to punk music with her before with good results, so I put on duck stab. Constantinople was the opening track and it was not what we were expecting at all, we laughed at first but the "here I comes" were actually very motivating for me. It ended up being the best sex I've ever had. Me and that girl, we're now married. For our dance, we played Constantinople 21 times, with one "it's not unusual" from the request of my friend John.

One of those thoughts - where you think - is there a need for a video for a tune by The Residents?

I've got my own twisted stuff in my head that goes along with this and don't need anyone else's twisted stuff to interrupt, thank you very much.
