I never saw the Burma Shave signs on the highway, but they did have them at the top of the Thunder Road rollercoaster at Carowinds when I was a wee lassie.

And I know Istanbul (not Constantinople) from They Might Be Giants instead of the Four Lads. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vsQrKZcYtqg

Thank you for the link. When ‘They Might Be Giants’ was seen, first thought you referred to the 1971 movie starring Joanne Woodward and George C. Scott.

Your group had a lot more bounce and personality than the original done by the Lads.

After following recording artists for years, in the 80’s the music had lost its luster and interest (rap music, that bane of society!). Now finding there are a number of groups that are worthy of their wax/vinyl. Gimme that old time rock n roll.
