Her Majesty by The Beatles

 Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl

But she doesn't have a lot to sayHer Majesty is a pretty nice girlBut she changes from day to day
I wanna tell her that I love her a lotBut I gotta get a belly full of wineHer Majesty is a pretty nice girlSomeday I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeahSomeday I'm gonna make her mine

IN HIGH SCHOOL I USED TO WALK AROUND SINGING THIS SONG TO MYSELF... SOMEHOW I NEVER PUT IT TOGETHER THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY SINGING ABOUT THE QUEEN... LIZ IS PLANTED... RIP HER MAJESTY...

    "It was quite funny because it’s basically monarchist, with a mildly disrespectful tone, but it’s very tongue in cheek. It’s almost like a love song to the Queen." - Paul McCartney

    It was supposed to be in the medley part of Abbey Road in between Mean Mr Mustard & Polythene Pam

    But Paul didn't like it and told the engineer to cut it and throw it away

    Well the engineer had been taught to never throw anything away, so after Paul left the studio

    He picked it up off the floor, added a 20 seconds of leader tape and added it on to the end of the album

    ~ In 2002, McCartney was due to headline the ‘Party At The Palace’ concert celebrating the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. Before the band came on, Paul appeared alone with an acoustic guitar and played Her Majesty. It had rarely been performed before so this was a surprising, if somewhat fitting, occasion. “I’m sorry, but I just had to do it” he said, addressing the Queen from stage.

    "You're So Beautiful" by the Fresnels was our ode to this song
