Likely an example of the Southern Vowel Shift, making "swang" an allophone of "swing," similar to the allophones "thing" and "thang." Meanings associated with "swang" that are not associated with "swing" may occur when this Southern dialect feature (also common to African-American Vernacular English) is interpreted by speakers of so-called "Standard American English" who only hear it used in specific, limited contexts.
