"Anarchy in the U.K." is a song by the English punk rock band the Sex Pistols. It was released as the band's debut single on 26 November 1976 and was later featured on their album, ''Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols''. "Anarchy in the U.K." is number 56 on ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. ==Information== Originally issued in a plain black sleeve, the single was the only Sex Pistols recording released by EMI, and reached number 38 on the UK Singles Chart before EMI dropped the group on 6 January 1977, a month after members of the band used profanity during a live television broadcast. In the documentary ''The Filth and the Fury'', John Lydon described the composition of the song's opening lyrics, explaining that the best rhyme he could devise for the first line, "I am an Antichrist", was the second line, "I am an anarchist". (Lydon confirmed that he is not an anarchist in a 2012 interview.) 〔http://www.hamhigh.co.uk/entertainment/music/john_lydon_an_anarchist_i_never_was_whoever_told_you_that_1_1468479〕 The lyrics endorse a particularly sensational, violent concept of anarchy that reflected the pervasive sense of embittered anger, confusion, restlessness, economic frustration and social alienation which was being felt by a generation of disenfranchised youth amidst the declining economic situation and bland music scene of the mid-1970s. Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren considered the song "a call to arms to the kids who believe that rock and roll was taken away from them. It's a statement of self rule, of ultimate independence."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nme.com/photos/the-wisdom-of-malcolm-mcclaren/170280/1/1#17 )〕 In 2007, the surviving members (not including original Pistols bassist Glen Matlock) re-recorded "Anarchy in the U.K." for the video game ''Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock'' because the multi-track master could not be found. The ''Guitar Hero'' version also appears in the film adaption of the ''A-Team''. The song was also featured in the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 as part of the soundtrack. In 2012, it was announced that a limited edition 7" inch picture disc of the song would be released on 21 April 2012 to mark Record Store Day. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anarchy in the U.K.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
