"God Save the Queen" was the second single released by the punk rock band Sex Pistols. It was released during Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee in 1977 and reached number one in the British charts. Its lyrics, as well as the cover, were controversial at the time, and the BBC refused to play the song.
