The song resulted in the filming of a studio clip in which the musicians perform on stage. Censored by the BBC at the time of its release, God Save the Queen largely contributed to the success of the Sex Pistols. Notably taken up by Motörhead, it was published again for the 70th anniversary of Elizabeth II’s reign in 2022, with a new cover, becoming number 1 in sales in the United Kingdom.
