- Sultans of Swing, if it were played by Elvis
So, since the last song I did with Stijn Bloemhof (Hotel California in the style of Johnny Cash) was pretty well received, we decided to go for another little collaboration.
We transposed the song to Am, to fit the vocals better. Added some drum breaks here and there and some backing vocals.
Had to hold back a little on the guitar playing, since the rock and rolls licks of those times weren't as flashy yet as Mark Knopfler's in 1978. But still, plenty of pentatonic licks and double stops to go around. Played my ES-335 for this one, with a slapback delay and a touch of reverb.
Hope you enjoy!

In the 1950's that song would have blown everything else out of the water. Excellent job.
It would have been the classic that Dire Straits covered..
Indeed
Absolutely with out a doubt. It would have been a worldwide over night success and would have propelled the king beyond the stratosphere.
Feels like an alternate history where Elvis ditches Parker and goes into to rehab at the end of the 70's and this is his 80's comeback single to cash in on the Rockabilly revival.
Elvis has a daytime job, he’s doing quite alright. Thank you very much (in Elvis’ voice)
Gold 🎉🎉🎉
Dude! This is genius! The twangy guitar was a hoot esp. with the little 50s flourishes you threw in. Props to the vocalist - I had no idea how they were going to interpret it. The "thank you, thank you very much" was a great touch. And as always, I appreciate the less is more approach to camera work and editing. Well done!
Sounds like Mark Knopfler and The Stray Cats had a boy together and named him Elvis after his grandfather!
Mark,Elvis and The Stray Cats are the shiznik
that sums it up perfectly .
😂😂😂
Perfect summary!👍🏻
Ah huh Huhh
It's really great. Fascinating voice and successfull transformation.
I bet Mark Knopfler loves this.
Elvis too.
Next: an Elvis version of "Calling Elvis".
I doubt. Mark likes musicians who make music, not computers that do it. AI is killing artists' creativity! We should be aware of this danger...
@@edogrol7482 It wasn't AI, well not the main parts (guitar and vocals). Did you not see the titles at the start or read the description?
This is fantastic. Thanks Laszlo, awesome work!
Finally someone who actually puts the effort in and not someone who puts the song through ai and it’s Mark Knopfler with and Elvis filter on his voice
Incredible job. Guitar playing, vocals, arrangement... everything's on the highest level. Congratulations! 😊
Sultans of Swing. Elvis Presley feat. The Ventures.
This is excellent. Well done.
Oh wow, so freaking great! The voice, the guitar. I could totally believe early Elvis would've released this exact recording. So spot on, congratulations!
Straight away thought of the Stray Cats, well done.
You are a talented bloke Laszlo. Don't know how you do it. You're playing level is through the roof.
I absolutely love this! Super idea and performance. Thanks for doing this.
Dear Laszlo, this not only awesome but purely genius. God bless you man. Thank you :)
Bravo, absolutely masterly executed. Thanks.
Stijn’s voice is insaneee
This should bean album! Classics elvisified. Brilliant effort!
Simplesmente Sensacional!!!
❤❤
De Jundiaí, SP Brasil...
I was skeptical when I saw the video title, but you nailed the rockabilly vibe and vocal approach. Awesome!
Brilliant! You have my respect!
Now after this, I am really curious to hear, what Dire Straits's Romeo And Juliet would sound if it was recorded by Johnny Cash.
Nice idea 💡 😊
Or...' where do you think you're going "...
This! And Tunnel of Love. And we need a Johnny Cash version of Six Bladed Knife.
Fascinating , excellent , great really great my friend .
Just when I thought there was no good musicians anymore I come your Renditions.
And every time I'm wowed.
Your much welcomed talent is rare indeed.
Thank you very much.
👍🤠🐂
Oh dude, there’s tons of really talented musicians out there - just none on “mainstream media”
Genius, love it!
Thanks once again! 😁
This is awesome!🎶
Love this version.
Well done! Adds an entire new dimension to one of my favorites. Decent Elvis impression!
The King Lives!
That's some great Rockabilly.
excelent Elvis is back !
Laszlo is GENIUS!!!
How I wish that Elvis is still alive, he should have witnessed the magnificent work of Laszlo Buring.
Super legal. Surpreendente. Naqueles idos anos, tenho certeza que ficaria realmente como mostrado. Parabéns pelo vídeo. Lembrei-me de minha irmã que era fã incondicional do Elvis.
Maravilhoso Wonderful
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎸
So weird, Just couldn’t get the brain to understand it at first..!!
This could definitely be a song the King would’ve sung as the style of music is perfect of the era…. 👏 Bravo!
I really hope Elvis hears this....
👍👍👍👍👍👍🙂🙂EXTREMELY enjoyable listening, THANKS
Sooo gut!!!!❤
Excellently done. Seems a bit surreal as no 50’s rock song had such complex lyrics, guitar chords, or lasted more than 2:30.
Really great cover
Well done! You've nailed it! 😁
torn between wanting to immediately send to friends and needing to hear the whole thing cos its so damn good
Very interesting interpretation.
Vocals sometimes sound more like Johnny Cash, not that it's a bad thing. Bloody brilliant interpretation!
Actually it is more Cash than Elvis throughout the whole song.
Something I never knew that I needed until I heard it!
Awesome work!!!
This is fantastic! I’d love to hear Chris Isaak cover this classic.
Sounds great🎸🎸🎸🎸👍👍
Definitely Calling Elvis with this one! Great job, man!
Oh hell yes!! Elvis makes everything exponentially better - that's just science.
Incredibile and wonderful cover. Congratulations Laszlo!
Fabulous! And the voice is spot on!
🤣🤣🤣 I didn't in a million years see this one coming. That's great creativity, my friend.
And I think it rocks! 👍
In Black and White !! Very cool !!!
That was great. So different. Really enjoyed it. 👏👏👏
Well done!! Bravo!
I'm only going to swear here because this is so awesome. This is truely effing incredible!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!! Unbelievable talent.
Fucking! Say it with your chest
Brilliant cover, up there with the metal cover by Leo Moracchioli and Mary Spender.
Thank you for this cover. Thank you very much.
I have been positively impressed by Mr. Buring before, but this is an all new level.
Wow.
Keep 'em coming, man!
Very well done, this was very very good 👍
❤ i can imagine Jonny Cash
I’m excited for this one❤
Thank you very much, that's was an important add.
Wow. Very good!!
Incredible!
I really enjoyed that, Laszlo.
Thank you.
Great interpretation of what is our (wife and myself) favourite song of all time. Love the "Thank you very much". I think Elvis would've struggled doing a song much longer than three minutes, though!!!
Thanks! I agree, that's why we decided to take 1 verse out, and still it felt quite long for a rock 'n' roll song. But we decided to just go with it 😁
This is fantastic,really digging this 😎
WOW! Great job mate!
Oh man!!!, Here we go! Let's rock n' roll with the genius Laszlo K. Presley.👍👍
Thanks Lazlo, this song made my day! ❤
Thank you very much!
Ficou perfeita a sonoridade, o timbre, bem anos 50
Awesome!
It works! It actually works! More power to your elbow!
Faantastic. Stray Cats + Dire straits
This just blows my mind! How do you imagine or come up with these absolutely amazing ideas? How many times can I say you are a guitar god! Just when I think I've seen everything you just amaze me ❤ I'm gobsmacked ❤
Excellent
Awesome
Great Job! It's Rockabilly and typical Knopfler at the same time. Awesam with the Elvis-like voice. Love it!
The Sultans, finally swung. Just brilliant
You have done it again!
It never occurred to me to blend Knopfler and Scotty Moore’s guitar styles but this is AWESOME 😎 Love the vocals too.
Still processing what I’ve just listened to. I thought he had left the building… Classic Laszlo, thanks! Backing vocals reminded me of Bowie’s Absolute Beginners.
Thanks!
Laszlo, this is a really fine arrangement. You and Stijn captured both musical worlds wonderfully!

Lifelong Knopfler/Dire Straits fan here. This is absolutely brilliant. You just keep getting better, Laszlo.
Thank you, thank you very much.
One of the best things I've ever heard. It really adds something to the original. Would be great if you can put it on Spotify.
Thank you very much! When I've released a few more of these songs I'll put them on Spotify in an album 😁
It's really amazing ❤....Masterpiece version....Thanks Laszlo!💯🎵🎶👏👏
Jesus ! Hope Mark Knopfler will here this one day. 😂😂😂😊😊❤
