In 1971, UK underground magazine Oz faced an obscenity trial for publishing a cartoon that would be considered mild today. John Lennon, being the activist that he was, put out this single to fund their defense.
Elastic Oz Band - God Save Us/Do the Oz (Apple 1971)
Originally written as God Save Oz, the the title was changed to God Save Us as it was felt the US would have no idea what they were talking about. Lennon didn't sing it as it would have competed with his Power to the People release. It did not chart.
