This Friday’s Blast From the Past is The Sex Pistol song, ” Save the queen“, from their album “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols”
The song was originally called “No Future.” Sex Pistol played it live and recorded a demo version with that title, but changed it when lead singer Johnny Rotten got the idea to mock the British monarchy, which did not go over well with the Brittish royalty.
The song became an anthem for the Punk movement in England. It expressed the anger young people felt toward the establishment. In the UK, the song outsold the #1 song at the time, Rod Stewart’s “I Don’t Want To Talk About It,” but it mysteriously and controversially stayed at #2.
