Apparently the Queen has an iPod.

What's on it?

"Anarchy in the UK"?
The Queen Is Dead?
Queen?
"Goodnight Elizabeth"?

Basement Jaxx 'U Don't Know Me'

She might also have some Prince. Maybe some King Crimson.

The Korgis 'Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime'

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Friday, 17 June 2005 12:20 (twenty years ago)

I'd really like to think it's Crass; mainly because I'd like to imagine her singing along:
"Hello, hello, hello, now here's a message from your queen,
As figurehead of the status quo I set the social scene
I'm most concerned about my people, I want to give them peace
So I'm making sure they stay in line with my army and police
My prisons and my mental homes have ever open doors
For those amongst my subjects who dare to ask for more
Unruliness and disrespect are things I can't allow
So I'll see the peasants grovel if they refuse to bow...."

Or failing that maybe some Discharge: "Decontrol, Decontrol, One's Being Shit On For Far Too Long...."

Royal Trux
Primal Scream 'Star'
The Stone Roses 'Elizabeth My Dear'
Lady Sovereign 'Sad Ass Strippa'

Gary Byrd Experience 'The Crown'

Note: The Sun (i think) published a page doing EXACTLY THIS THREAD!

The only one I remember (flicked to it at a petrol station natch) was "Everyone's gotta learn sometime" by the KORGI'S ha haaaaaa ha ahem.

That's the standard you have to beat.

(Sorry Stevem, no offence. should read thread first I guess.)

I was quite proud of it myself.

Now I feel stupid and excessively American because I have no idea why that's funny.

― The Mad Puffin, Friday, 17 June 2005 12:31 (twenty years ago)

"Note: The Sun (i think) published a page doing EXACTLY THIS THREAD!"

Does this mean they're going to follow it up with:
TS: Peta from Essex or Katie from Liverpool
POX: Page 3 Stunnas!
C or D: The European Constitution?

I have a sneaking suspicion that they may just have beaten us to the "[Person A] in [activity B] SHOCKAH!" concept.

Korgis > Corgis > Queen's notorious canine companions.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Friday, 17 June 2005 12:38 (twenty years ago)

I was just thinking of this the other day - I am not aware of a non-ironic use of the "[Person A] in [activity B] SHOCKAH!" headline, but I assume it must have some concrete origins

"Do They Owe Us A Living?" - Crass

[has imediate vision of royal family in huge state coach; pulled by a huge team of horses and flanked by ranks of liveried footmen; inside which Liz is singing "Do they owe us a living?" and Phil, Chas., Anne, Andy, Eddie, Will & Harry are all bellowing out the response "'Course they fackin' do!"]

Best answer yet.

The Royal Scam

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Friday, 17 June 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

From the archives here (can't provide a direct link):

...every Royal Variety Performance has been immaculately bootlegged on precision recording equipment by the Queen since 1965 except for a twenty five minute section of the 1986 show due to tape malfunction. These unique recordings and a select True Crime audiobooks take up the majority of the Queen's unique Ivory paneled I-Pod, the latest “must have” gadget accessory.

ADAM AND THE ANTS 'PRINCE CHARMING"
NOT - "DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD" FORM WIZARD OF OZ

― adamant, Friday, 17 June 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

I love that bit about how the Queen is the ultimate live bootlegger with quality equipment. The RIAA will be knocking on her door any day now.

The beatles were on the RVS in 1963. So, they aint on it.

That was the "Rattle your jewellery!" performance, right? Dunno about the entire performance, but that one clip, at the very least, is preserved on film. (Colour film, no less.)

I don't suppose "Candle In The Wind" would be on the Queen's iPod?

Anyway, the correct answer is of course Elgar's "Pomp & Circumstance"
