天佑女王（英語：God Save the Queen）是英国朋克搖滾乐队性手枪的歌曲。它是性手枪发行的第二张单曲，后来收录在他们唯一的录音室专辑《別管鳥事，性手槍來了！》中。这首歌于1977年，即女王伊丽莎白二世登基25周年时发行。

该专辑的歌词和封面在当时引起了争议，英国广播公司（BBC）和Independent Broadcasting Authority（英语：Independent Broadcasting Authority）拒绝播放该歌曲[2]。这首歌最初的名称是“没有未来”（英語：No Future），歌词表达了乐队对君主制及所有个人或组织所背负的义务的看法[3]。

这首歌在英国音乐杂志新音乐快递排行榜上排名第一，在BBC使用的官方榜单公司排行榜上排名第二。但有人认为这首歌的销量高于第一名罗德·斯图尔特，排名第二是为避免尴尬而干预后的结果[4]。

背景

[编辑]

这首歌的名称来自英国国歌《天佑女王》。最初，这首歌因将伊丽莎白二世与法西斯政权划等号及“英格兰没有未来”的歌词而饱受争议。According to Glen Matlock（英语：Glen Matlock）, who had co-written the song—although he was no longer a member of the band by the time it was released—the bass was inspired by the Move（英语：the Move）'s "Fire Brigade（英语：Fire Brigade (song)）". Guitarist Steve Jones（英语：Steve Jones (musician)） stated that when Matlock first played him the song it did not sound like 'God Save the Queen': "It was like 'Love Me Do' or something".[5]

虽然许多人认为这首歌是为伊丽莎白二世登基银禧纪念（英语：Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II）而创作的，但乐队否定了这一点。Paul Cook（英语：Paul Cook）表示：“这并不是专为女王的登基纪念而写的。我们当时并不知道这一点。我们并没有故意去震撼人们。”[6] 约翰·里顿解释道：“你不会因为厌恶英国人而写出《天佑女王》。写出那样的歌是因为你爱他们，你受够了他们受到的虐待。”[7]他希望唤起人们对英国工人阶级的同情和对君主制的不满。

1977年6月7日，即纪念日当天，乐队打算在威斯敏斯特宫附近的泰晤士河上一条名为“女王伊丽莎白”的船上演奏这首歌曲。在与会者Jah Wobble和一名摄影师发生肢体冲突后，包括乐会组织者Malcolm McLaren和乐队其他几名随行人员在内的11人在船靠岸时被捕[8]。

发行与反响

[编辑]

这首单曲于1977年5月27日发行。发行后，许多人将其视为对伊丽莎白二世和君主制的攻击。Lydon和制作人Bill Price（英语：Bill Price (record producer)）、Chris Thomas（英语：Chris Thomas (record producer)）在伦敦海布里的一家酒吧外遭到袭击。[9]

Agreeing with the apparent anti-溫莎王朝 message, American postmodern author 威廉·柏洛茲 sent a congratulatory letter to the Sex Pistols following the release of the song.[10]

Before the group signed to Virgin, a small number of copies of "God Save the Queen" had been pressed on the A&M唱片 label. These are now among the most valuable records ever pressed in the UK, with a resale value as of 2006 of between £500 and £13,000 a copy, depending on condition of the disc.[11] The highest recorded sale price of $22,155 was achieved at auction in 2006 by UK collector Marshal Peters who sold a copy of the single complete with its A&M唱片 card envelope, of which only nine copies are known to exist.[12]

Censorship and chart controversy

[编辑]

Upon its release, the song was banned from both the BBC and radio stations regulated by the Independent Broadcasting Authority（英语：Independent Broadcasting Authority） with Radio 2 controller Charles McLelland（英语：Charles McLelland） saying the song was "in gross bad taste".[13] Additionally, the major retailers 博姿, WH史密斯, and Woolworths（英语：Woolworths Group (United Kingdom)） all declined to sell the record.[14] Nevertheless, it peaked at No. 2 (below 罗德·斯图尔特's "I Don't Want to Talk About It（英语：I Don't Want to Talk About It）" released as a A面與B面 budget single along with "The First Cut Is the Deepest（英语：The First Cut Is the Deepest）") on the official 官方榜单公司 used by the BBC; it did so during the week of the Silver Jubilee's official observation.[4][15][16] On the singles chart displayed in branches of WH Smith, the single's position at No. 2 was represented by a blank line.[17]

However, various sources state that it was indeed the highest-selling single of the week,[18][19] and it has been suggested that the song was deliberately blocked from reaching the top spot on the "official" BMRB chart（英语：List of UK Singles Chart number ones of the 1970s）. According to a 1998 article in The Independent, for one week compilers "decreed that shops which sold their own records could not have those records represented in the chart", and thus sales from Virgin Megastores（英语：Virgin Megastores） were not counted.[20] Virgin had few doubts that theirs was the higher-selling single; the company's sales total out of stock exceeded the officially cited sales for the Rod Stewart single.[21] The NME magazine chart did in fact place the single at number-one during the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II（英语：Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II）.[14][22] In 2001, the BBC described the song as having "reached number one in the UK".[23]

Legacy

[编辑]

"God Save the Queen" was featured on 別管鳥事，性手槍來了！, the band's only album, and several compilation albums.

Rolling Stone ranked "God Save the Queen" number 175 on its list of the 滚石杂志五百大歌曲[24] and it is also one of the 摇滚名人堂's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.[25] It was Sounds（英语：Sounds (magazine)） magazine's Single of the Year in 1977.[26] In 1989, it was eighteenth in the list of NME writers' all-time top 150 singles.[27] Q (雜誌) magazine in 2002 ranked it first on its list of "The 50 Most Exciting Tunes Ever..."[28] and third on its list of "100 Songs That Changed the World" in 2003.[29] In 2007, NME launched a campaign to get the song to number 1 in the British charts and encouraged readers to purchase or download the single on 8 October. However, it only made number 42. In 2010, the 新政治家 listed it as one of the "Top 20 Political Songs".[30]

In 2010, the song was ranked among the top 10 most controversial songs of all time in a poll conducted by PRS for Music（英语：PRS for Music）.[31]

In recent years, Lydon has denied that he is anti-monarchy, stating on Richard & Judy（英语：Richard & Judy） in 2002: "I was never pro them or anti them. I just think if we're going to have a monarchy it may as well work properly. I mean, we pay for it, after all".[32] On Piers Morgan Live（英语：Piers Morgan Live） in 2015, Lydon stated: "I never said I didn't [love the Queen], I just don't like the institution".[33]

In 2002, the song was re-released to coincide with the Queen's Golden Jubilee（英语：Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II）, whereupon the single charted in the top 20. In 2012, it was announced that the single would be re-released on 28 May 2012, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the original release and the 伊利沙伯二世登基鑽禧紀念.[34] Lydon has voiced his disapproval over the re-release and the campaign, saying in a statement: "I would like to very strongly distance myself from the recent stories and campaign to push 'God Save the Queen' for the number one spot... this campaign totally undermines what The Sex Pistols stood for."[35] The 2012 re-release peaked at no. 80 in the singles chart.[36] Rights holder UMC re-released the record for the Queen's 伊利沙伯二世登基白金禧紀念 in 2022, with 1,977 vinyl copies having the same tracks as the original A&M version and the rest labelled as a Virgin release.[9] The record sold 5,712 vinyl copies and became the number one single on the Official Physical Singles Chart Top 100 of 10 June 2022 to 16 June 2022,[37] with a chart placing of number 57 in the main chart when the 279 downloads were added.[38]

In recent years, John Lydon has moderated his views on The Royal Family. In 2001, he stated: "Is the Queen a moron? I probably think so. That women has her precious little to do with her so-called subjects, other than ignore the hell out of us.... We're just there to prop up her tiara".[39] The following year, he denied he was an anti-monarchy in an interview on Richard & Judy（英语：Richard & Judy）: "I was never pro them or anti them. I just think if we're going to have a monarchy it may as well work properly. I mean, we pay for it, after all".[40] Despite his previous 2001 comments about the Queen, Lydon stated on Piers Morgan Live（英语：Piers Morgan Live） in 2015: "I never said I didn't [love the Queen], I just don't like the institution".[41] In another interview with 皮爾斯·摩根 on Piers Morgan Uncensored（英语：Piers Morgan Uncensored） in 2022, the year of 伊利沙伯二世登基白金禧紀念, Lydon further expressed his respect for the Queen: "I'm [not] completely dead against The Royal Family as human beings. I'm actually really really proud of the Queen for surviving and doing so well. I applaud her for that. That is a fantastic achievement. I’m not a curmudgeon about that. I just think that if I’m paying my tax money to support this system, I should have a say so on how it’s spent".[42][43] Guitarist Steve Jones and bassist Glen Matlock also expressed their views on the monarchy in 2022. Jones stated: "I’ve never had any connection to the monarchy, to be honest. It meant nothing to me, still doesn’t. So to me ['God Save The Queen'] was just a laugh, it was a giggle".[44] While Matlock stated in an interview with 早安英國: "I've nothing personal against the queen, lots of people love and respect her, but I do think she's a bit of a sop to what's going on".[45]

Use in other media

[编辑]

The song could be heard during Journey Along the Thames, a two-minute film directed by 丹尼·鮑伊 and played at the beginning of the 2012年夏季奧林匹克運動會開幕典禮, an event opened by the queen, and held during her 伊利沙伯二世登基鑽禧紀念. A camera traverses the route the band took in the boat the Queen Elizabeth, between Tower Bridge and Westminster, as the song plays. [46]

On 3 November 2016, 安德魯·羅森戴爾, a 保守黨 (英國) MP, argued in an early day motion（英语：early day motion） for a return to the broadcasting of the 天佑國王 at the end of 英國廣播公司第一台 transmissions each day (The practice was dropped in 1997, due to BBC One adopting 24-hour broadcasting by simulcasting 英国广播公司新闻频道 overnight, rendering 开播及收播 obsolete),[47] to commemorate the 英國去留歐盟公投 and 英國脫歐 from the 欧洲联盟. At the evening of the same day, 英國廣播公司第二台's 新聞之夜 programme ended its nightly broadcast with host of that night Kirsty Wark（英语：Kirsty Wark） saying that they were "incredibly happy to oblige" Rosindell's request, and then played a clip of the Sex Pistols' similarly named song, much to Rosindell's discontent.[48]

The SCTV satire

[编辑]

On the 18 March 1983 episode of SCTV（英语：Second City Television） in the Mel's Rock Pile segment, Mel Slirrup (尤金·列维) has a tribute to punk rock featuring a number by the band the Queenhaters—馬丁·肖特 (lead singer), Andrea Martin（英语：Andrea Martin） (lead guitarist/back-up vocals), 尤金·列维 (rhythm guitarist), Joe Flaherty（英语：Joe Flaherty） (bass), and John Candy（英语：John Candy） (drummer)—performing "I Hate the Bloody Queen", a sound-alike song that almost matches the original it is spoofing, with references to the 福克兰战争 ("I'd like to drown the Queen/Off the coast of Argentine/Throw her off a battleship/With her Falkland war machine!") and the problems that 威爾斯王妃戴安娜 was, and would be soon having with her in-laws ("I feel sorry for you, Lady Di/Having a mother-in-law like that!"). This spoof of the Sex Pistols "God Save the Queen" even has its own cover version by Mudhoney（英语：Mudhoney） on the tribute album Oh Canaduh! 2.
