Her Majesty by The Beatles
Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl
But she doesn't have a lot to say Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl But she changes from day to day
I wanna tell her that I love her a lot But I gotta get a belly full of wine Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl Someday I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah Someday I'm gonna make her mine
"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
