Motörhead version
The heavy metal band Motörhead released a cover version of "God Save the Queen" as a single in 2000 to promote their album We Are Motörhead. The cover art gives further reference to the Sex Pistols by using the same cut-out words to form the title as the Sex Pistols' single cover. 
A performance of the song recorded during the band's 25th anniversary concert at Brixton Academy on October 22, 2000, appears on their 25 & Alive Boneshaker DVD.
... because i think it unbalances the article terribly - the cover simply isn't relevant or important enough to warrant much article space - i'll follow the above link to the discussion now.... Petesmiles 07:07, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Well I would like to avoid a backwards-forwards here, as I pointed out on other pages, I don't think that these cases are being considered in the wider scheme of things. I see nothing inconsistent between books and productions, and songs and singles, except in the notion that they always have to be on the one page. Songs themselves may merit a page, and we should not worry unduly when it fits other considerations better - like the reader - to have a related item elsewhere, though be only a link away.--Alf melmac 20:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

"You don't write a song like 'God Save The Queen' because you hate the English race. You write a song like that because you love them, and you're sick of seeing them mistreated."

message: "In 2008, on a Music Immersion program run by St. Joseph's College Gregory Terrace in Brisbane, Australia, a band of Year 10 students called Citizens Arrest covered the song."
Not noteworthy, surely?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.113.147 (talk) 12:25, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Cover versions

message: According to the article the song was controversial both for its equation of the Queen with a "fascist regime"  and for its claim that England had "no future". But does the text say that England has no future? As I understand the text, it says that the queen has no future. --Oddeivind (talk) 20:47, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: IMHO there is no future in England's dreaming pretty well says it. benzband (talk) 08:59, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

message: It seems to be a rather elephant-in-the-room ommission to write such a substantial article about this song yet fail to provide something as basic and relevant to the article as the lyrics to the song. 121.73.7.84 (talk) 22:08, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
