Category: Sultans Of Ping

HO, HO, HO.

Here’s the obligatory Christmas posting, featuring, without any question, the best festive-themed song ever. If only for including the line..’Christmas in Glasgow.’

Natives of Cork, Ireland, they were once known as The Sultans of Ping FC, then just The Sultans of Ping, before eventually becoming The Sultans.

Their career initially lasted from 1988 to 1997, but they reformed again in 2005, and continue to be hugely popular in their native land and in Japan.

This particular offering was on the b-side of a 1993 single – during their period as The Sultans of Ping – that just missed breaking into the UK Top 40.

It’s inevitably what you find here each 25th December:-

Here’s ten inches of unadulturated silliness.

mp3 : Sultans of Ping FC – Where’s Me Jumper?

It reached the giddy heights of #67 in the UK charts in February 1992. It’s great fun to make a fool of yourself with on any dance floor.  It’s enjoyed something of a renaissance in recent times as it’s been used as the theme tune to this award winning comedy series.

Couple of decent b-sides too if you want to look on music as being enjoyable and not always needing to be serious,

mp3 : Sultans of Ping FC – I Said I Am I Said
mp3 : Sultans of Ping FC – Turnip Fish

Enjoy.

here’s something of a tradition on this and the previous blog:-
