In this video, Motörhead covers the classic Sex Pistols song while touring London with the Queen, herself! Actually, it’s just a lookalike but it’s still interesting how, in just a few years, God Save The Queen went from being a scandalous and dangerous song to being an unofficial anthem of the UK.
For the record, John Lyndon and Glen Matlock have both said that the song was not meant to be an attack on Elizabeth as much as on the idea of spending tax money to support the monarchy. Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones was quoted as saying that the song was not really political but that it was just “a giggle.”
Enjoy!
