User:D/God Save the Queen

God Save the Queen is the national anthem of the United Kingdom. And the greatest hit of the Sex Pistols. No song has generated so much hatred from British republicans. There have been numerous attempts to replace the song with almost anything else as the UK national anthem. The song is alternatively called God save the King when there is a king on the throne. This will happen when King Charles III takes over.

The song seems to imply that Elizabeth II is in trouble, because otherwise why would she need saving? Despite this, the song is considered to be great by all commited Monarchists.

Composition of the right song
The original lyrics were written for some long dead Royal King, but since there's now an old lady in charge it got adapted to fit the fact she is a Queen. God save great George our king God save our noble king, God save the king! Send him victorious Happy and glorious Long to reign over us God save the king!

Sex Pistols
In 1977, during Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee, the infamous rebels and British punk rock band the Sex Pistols, decided to cash in by making a parody song. The BBC were outraged, branding it “gross bad taste”, and promptly banned the song from the radio and allegedly fixed the chart to stop it getting to number #1.

Queen
Undisputedly the greatest band of all time,disputed Queen were eventually obligated to cover this subject.

The tribute of the tribute
A group of Argies formed a tribute band to Queen, who were making a tribute to the "real" Queen. They were surprisingly good in copying the original Queen, and played the British national anthem at the end of every gig. It is a source of much confusion how this happened, since Argentinians and British famously do not get on very well.
