  • Sultans of Swing is a Rockstar verified race featured in GTA Online.
  • The Sultans of Swing are not to be confused with Babe Ruth, who was the Sultan of Swat. The Swing Dynasty ruled an area on the windswept steppes of the Middle East known as the Autobot Empire. The Empire is noted for its devotion to Islam, giant robots who turn into vehicles, and buildings that look like Dairy Queen soft serve. The Empire included what is today Kraplakistan, MorethanIcanstan, Stan, SixPakistan, and other countries I just made up. The rulers were some of the most enlightened, clean, reverent, thrifty, and brave rulers ever to rule a non-Christian Empire. (hard to believe that a bunch of Rag-heads could do anything of note isn't it?) The Autobots, under their rulers the Sultans of Swing, defended the Holy Land from the infidel European Crusaders.
  • "Sultans of Swing" is a short YTMND song in which Moon Man sings over the Dire Straits song of the same name.
  • "Sultans of Swing" was the first single release of the British rock band Dire Straits. Although it was first released in 1978, it was its 1979 re-release that caused it to become a hit in both the UK and USA. The song's lyrics were written by Mark Knopfler on a rainy day in a bar in Ipswich. Their inspiration came from his witnessing a mediocre jazz band playing in the corner of a practically deserted pub. At the end of their performance, the lead singer came up to the microphone and announced that they were the "Sultans of Swing."

  • "Sultans of Swing" was the first single release of the British rock band Dire Straits. Although it was first released in 1978, it was its 1979 re-release that caused it to become a hit in both the UK and USA. The song was first recorded as a demo at Pathway Studios, North London, in July 1977, and quickly acquired a following after it was put on rotation at Radio London. Its popularity soon reached record executives and Dire Straits were offered a contract with Phonogram Records. The song was then re-recorded in early 1978 at Basing Street Studios for the band's debut albumDire Straits. The record company wanted a less-polished rock sound for the radio, so an alternative version was recorded at Pathway Studios in April 1978 and released as the single in some countries including the United Kingdom and Germany. The song's lyrics were written by Mark Knopfler on a rainy day in a bar in Ipswich. Their inspiration came from his witnessing a mediocre jazz band playing in the corner of a practically deserted pub. At the end of their performance, the lead singer came up to the microphone and announced that they were the "Sultans of Swing."
