View source for Talk:God Save the Queen

It should also be noted that the tune of 'God Save the Queen' was stolen by some American upstart ( Samuel F. Smith, 1808-1895 I believe), and in doing so subjected her revered and glorious majesty Queen Victoria (God bless her and all who sail in her) to the indignities of Listening to a cheapskate version called "My Country 'tis of thee" sung to HER tune. (The very thought of it makes me shudder)

:And I think the Germans nicked the same tune for their own national anthem, until the current one was adopted in the 1930s (by guess who?). [[User:Dorpfeld|Dorpfeld]] 09:43, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

I do think that there ought to be a reference to this version of [http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/sexpistols/godsavethequeen.html | God Save the Queen]--[[User:Felix|Felix]] 09:47, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

:Yes, I agree. Do you want to edit the page? [[User:Dorpfeld|Dorpfeld]] 09:51, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

::No I would prefer you to be the one who gets the ban :P   --[[User:Felix|Felix]] 09:58, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

:::We could add it as a disgustingly outrageous example of an egregious and unprovoked attack on the establishment. [[User:Dorpfeld|Dorpfeld]] 10:00, 20 April 2007 (EDT)


::::Good Thinking. We could also add that after this Sid left the land of clean living and morality, went to live in a country of depravity where he was seduced into a lifesyle of chemical enhancers and fornication and ultimately got his comeuppance.--[[User:Felix|Felix]] 10:05, 20 April 2007 (EDT)


:::::I knew it - this very nice article on God Save the Queen is being mangled. The only two references are to Mycountry 'tis of thee GRRRRR!!!! --[[User:Felix|Felix]] 10:29, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

::::::Please feel free to add sources to the "God Save the Queen" portion. Nobody is stopping you, certainly not me. In fact the Library of Congress page has got a ''lot'' of God Save the Queen material on it, by all means use it. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 10:38, 20 April 2007 (EDT)
