There is a line in the song that says "Well, I've never been to England, but I kind of like The Beatles", but the title (and the first line of the song) deals with Spain.

Answer: The Rolling Stones

The Sex Pistols recorded (and wrote) the original song. Motley Cure recorded it for "Stairway to Heaven, Highway to Hell" and it is the third track on Megadeth's "So Far, So Good... So What?" album. I think Sir Mick Jagger has more reverence for the throne.
