https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtUH2YSFlVU Though not everyone loves The Sex Pistols or punk one can certainly appreciate their popularity. It's fair to say that no list compiling great political songs would be complete without Johnny Rotten's incessant shouting about the Royal Family. The band's second single bemoans a 'fascist regime', while claiming The Queen 'ain't no human being'. This idea is certainly in line with the quite extraordinary theory that The Queen is in fact a giant lizard, merely posing as an elderly woman. On a more serious note, the record is about rebelling against British politics in the 1970s, a time when a lot of younger people felt alienated by the rule of the archaic monarchy. Cleverly, The Sex Pistols' manager Malcolm McLaren released the single to coincide with The Queen's Silver Jubilee, which took place on June 7, 1977. Needless to say, The Sex Pistols and their following detested the monarchy and the idea of celebrating its continued existence.
