Pulp, Jarvis Cocker, Glastonbury 2011
Pulp played a birthday tribute to Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler during a festival appearance in Norway last night.
The band kicked off their set at Oslo's Oya Festival with 1994 hit 'Do You Remember The First Time?', before continuing to play a collection of hits from their back catalog.
Following performances of 'Razzmatazz' and 'Disco 2000', frontman Jarvis Cocker told the audience: "Mark Knopfler was born today. Y'know, Dire Straits?"
Cocker then sang some lines from Dire Straits' 1978 classic 'Sultans of Swing', before commenting: "C'mon Mark, put your headband on.
"I thought, as a tribute, we'll do our own version of that song. Yeah, it's an exclusive! We are the Sultans."
Pulp then performed a full cover of the track, with Cocker concluding: "Yeah, Sultans are sweet."
