Album PlacementInitially, "Her Majesty" was intended to fit into the medley on the second side of the "Abbey Road" album between the songs "Mean Mr. Mustard" and "Polythene Pam" but was later placed at the end of the album.
|
Unintentional InclusionThe song's inclusion at the end of the Abbey Road album was actually a mistake by one of the studio engineers. It was supposed to be discarded, but instead, it ended up on the album's final mix.
|
The Surprise ElementDue to the song’s brief silence before it starts, and its position after 14 seconds of silence at the end of "The End", "Her Majesty" often surprises listeners upon their first listen to the album.
|
Lyrics and ThemesThe song's lyrics suggest an infatuation with the Queen, referring specifically to "Her Majesty" – a respectful address for a ruling monarch in the UK.
|
Song Composer"Her Majesty" was composed by Paul McCartney and is essentially a standalone vocal and acoustic guitar piece.
|
Non-utilized Recording"Her Majesty" was recorded as part of a longer take that included "Polythene Pam" and "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window", but it was later separated from these in the final album.
|
Unique Feature"Her Majesty" ends quite abruptly because the final chord was left on the recording tape for "Mean Mr. Mustard" when it was mistakenly cut.
|
Notable PerformancePaul McCartney has included "Her Majesty" in the set list of his live performances, often as part of a medley with "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)".
|
Royal ReceptionDespite its lyrics, there's no record or public mention of Queen Elizabeth II (who was already on the throne when the song was released) reacting to or acknowledging the song.
