To this day every time I visit a public lavatory and see the word Armitage Shanks on some porcelain the sultans of ping song of the same name pops into my head.

[cassette/tape]

were they always called sultans of ping fc or was that only in britland?
often wondered that.

 

[brianMy Remorse]

me
I'm related to one of them. ha!

haha i was just making a point.. no need to celebrate it!

andrew some of the guys in the shanks are still playing around, i think one of them is in Rulers of the Planet.
whats the nigel clough connection... hes in a song??

 

[Alan Remorse]

they were originally called sultans, then changed it to sultans of ping, then changed it to sultans of ping fc.

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

oh yeah one of them's in rulers of the planet - forgot that. not to eh into them.
nigel clough - 'give him a ball and a yard of grass' is about him! it takes a special kind of band to write a song about nigel clough...i mean, i'm sure we all have a song or two about paul mcgrath in us, but nigel clough?
i thought the name thing went
sultans of ping f.c. -> sultans of ping -> sultans (their last incarnation?)

Q: You dropped the `F.C.' on the second album... have you dropped the `Ping' now?
A: Yeah, we've dropped it all.
Q: What was the whole meaning of `The Sultans of Ping F.C.' ?
A: It's hard to know really. I mean, it wasn't really my name in the first place. I didn't really think of it in the first place, so I never really knew what it meant.
Q: It's certainly a bizarre name!
A: It is, yeah. I think `Sultans' just sounds more like a garage band, and we're happier with it. And it's got a kind of Arabian...
