Their 1992 album Casual Sex in the Cineplex contained much of their best material, including Stupid Kid, You Talk Too Much and the perennial student-night favourite Where's Me Jumper?, but many amazing b-sides were great too: Turnip Fish, Armitage Shanks & Riot at the sheepdog trials
The live performance was the stuff of legend: usually playing to small, packed venues, the Sultans' frontman Niall O'Flaherty would unleash the anarchic Sultans of Ping sound whilst strutting, leaping and diving around and sometimes off the stage. The very literal "dance routine" which accompanied Wake Up And Scratch Me managed to keep the crowd entertained if a little unnerved by the blood loss.
Their name was later changed to simply "Sultans of Ping" for the second album Teenage Drug.
For the third album, Good Year For Trouble they became The Sultans.
They disbanded in 1996 but then started playing again in 2005. The current line-up includes Niall O'Flaherty, Morty McCarthy, Pat O'Connell, Sam Steiger (ex Golden Horde) and Ian Olney (ex Power of Dreams)
They released a single in 2007 called Girlwatching.
They continue to play to packed out audiences.

I cannot tell her how I really feel
Cause her heart is the thing that I wanna steal
I try to piece my puzzle to form my words
It's like my baby girl got me on a curse
She mesmerize me with that ass when she twerk

Curses on curses they taking control
I gave her my heart and she changing my pulse
My eyes on her body its watching her curves
It's like my baby girl got me on a curse
I cannot tell her how I really feel
Cause her heart is the thing that I wanna steal
I try to piece my puzzle to form my words
It's like my baby girl got me on a curse
She mesmerize me with that ass when she twerk

The lyrics to Sultans Of Ping F.C.'s song, "Curse", describe the internal struggle of the singer as they try to express their feelings to their romantic interest. The repetition of the line "It's like my baby girl got me on a curse" emphasizes the idea that the singer feels trapped and unable to communicate their emotions. The use of figurative language such as "Dior perfume while she walk by make it worse" adds to the sombre tone of the song, suggesting that while the singer is enamored with their love interest, they are also in pain because of it. The lines "It's like my baby girl got me on a curse/ I got the BOOM/ She got the Oouu" add a layer of playfulness to the otherwise melancholic song, indicating that the emotional situation is not entirely serious.
There is a sense of longing and desire in the lyrics, as the singer admits that they want to steal their love interest's heart, despite the fear of rejection. However, they are unable to speak their truth and instead try to "piece my puzzle" to find the right words. The song creates a picture of a love that is bittersweet, passionate, and ultimately unfulfilled.
