The Sex Pistols, the English punk rock band, has re-released its banned hit single, « God Save the Queen », as the monarchy prepares for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, starting Thursday. The song was released in 1977 in a band gig the weekend of the queen’s silver jubilee. The song featured tweaked lyrics from the British national anthem, including rhyming « God save the queen » with « she ain’t no human being » and « fascist regime ».
