There’s Me Jumper

The kings of weird lyrics and silly dances have made a return: The Sultans Of Ping FC will be releasing a new single on December 7th.
Oh come on you know the Sultans.
All right I’ll give you one line and I bet you’ll be singing – or be reminded of the song straight away:
“Where’s Me Jumper ?”
See. Told you.
The Irish band were footie mad and recorded a few related songs. Below are some mp3′s courtesy of http://ping.fishtank.org.uk of the Sultans (as they renamed themselves later, but without success, they disbanded soon after) live in concert and studio sessions for John Peel and for Dublin’s 2FM:
» Sultans of Ping FC – Give Him A Ball (And A Yard Of Grass) – Peel Session (Before the song John Peel says: "There are no Scots in the Sultans Of Ping" ?!)
Sample lyrics: “Give him a ball & a yard of grass/He’ll give you a move with perfect pass/Give him a ball & a yard of space/He’ll give you a move with godly grace”
» Sultans Of Ping – Kick Me With Your Leather Boots (Live At The Savoy Cork)
Sample lyrics: “Socrates and Selnopenhaur are really very nice./ Told you ’bout Ardiles and you said you’d read him twice. /Your stunning social conscience has me running round the bend./Kick me with your leather boots, /Kick me hard again.”
…and the one you’ve been waiting for:
» Sultans Of Ping FC – Where’s Me Jumper ? (2FM Studio)
Sample lyrics: “Dancing in the disco, bumper to bumper/ Wait a minute, where’s me jumper, where’s me jumper, where’s me jumper, where’s me jumper, where’s me jumper ?”
Ah they don’t write them like that any more…
