That actually would be a good deal.

O Canada, with music composed by Calixa Lavallée in 1880, became the national anthem in 1980, replacing God Save the Queen.

GSTQ is so turgid that any other anthem is more exciting and inevitably leads to ructions.

God save the Queen? Sounds a bit gender specific to me.

Maybe Bryan Adams could knock up a replacement ditty. Summer of 69? Run to You?

God save the Queen is not gender specific it is monarch's gender specific. God save the King is the same song, it hasn't been sung in the living memory of most so we forget its there.

Hey! Wait a minute! King and Queen are gender specific too.

Well, guess we'll have to get rid of royal titles now.

Of course it covered the utter banality of the throne speech. The suggestion was only there to distract from the utter lack of substance contained within the speech.
