This day in music history.

May 27, 1977, To conincide with Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee celebration in June, The Sex Pistols single 'God Save The Queen' was released. It is instantly banned by TV and radio because of its so called "treasonous sentiments." Most shops wont display it and pressing plant workers refused to handle the record. Despite the bad press the record sells 200,000 copies in one week and peaked at No.2 on the charts.
God Save The Queen by the Pistols
God save the Queen
Her fascist regime
They made you a moron
Potential h-bomb
God save the Queen
She ain't no human being
There's no future
In England's dreaming
Don't be told what you want
Don't be told what you need
There's 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
'Cos those tourists are money
And our figure head
Is not what she seems
Oh God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh Lord God 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, your future
God save the Queen
We mean it man
We love our Queen
God saves
God save the Queen
We mean it man
And there's no future
In England's dreaming
No future
For you...
