"On May 27, 1977, The Sex Pistols single 'God Save The Queen' was released in the UK. Banned by TV and radio, high street shops and pressing plant workers refused to handle the record. It sold 200,000 copies in one week and peaked at No.2 on the UK charts behind Rod Stewart's 'I Don't Want to Talk About It'. There have been persistent rumours, (never confirmed or denied), that it was actually the biggest-selling single in the UK at the time, and the British Phonographic Industry conspired to keep it off the No.1 slot."

Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video Sex Pistols performing their typical cynical lyric song "God Save The Queen"

God Save The Queen written by Steve Jones / Glen Matlock / Paul Cook / Johnny 'Rotten' Lydon
Lyrics
"God save the Queen
A fascist regime
They made you a moron
Potential H-bomb
God save the Queen
She ain't no human being
There is no future
In England's dreaming
Don't be told about what you want
Don't be told about what you need
No future, no future, no future for you
God save the Queen
We mean it, man
We love our Queen
God saves
God save the Queen
Tourists are money
But our figurehead
Is not what she seems
God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh Lord, have mercy!
All crimes are paid
When there's no future, how can there be sin?
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in the human machine
We're the future, we're the future
God save the Queen
We mean it, man
We love our Queen
God saves
God save the Queen
We mean it, man
We love our Queen
God saves
No future, no future
No future, no future
No future, no future
No future, no future
No future, no future
No future, no future
No future for you"
