When the president toasted the Queen the orchestra misunderstood a pause and what seemed to be a cue from the president for “God Save the Queen” to begin playing

“Ladies and gentlemen please stand with me and raise your glasses as I propose a toast,” the president said, putting down his note cards and grabbing his glass. “To her majesty the Queen.”

The president paused, the guests stood, and the orchestra prepared to play.

As they would

Throughout the Commonwealth realms, the Loyal Toast is most commonly composed solely of the words "ladies and gentlemen, the Queen," en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyal_toast

Yeah, but Obama KEPT TALKING through the music.
The Commonwealth customs and orchestra didn’t skroo up. Obama did.
That’s what makes it so funny.
