Her Majesty

General CommentJust found this :

This was originally programmed between 'Mean Mr. Mustard' and 'Polythene Pam' on the 'Abbey Road' album, but after having a listen to it, Paul decided that it didn't fit, so he told engineer John Kurlander to cut it out. But because he was under orders never to throw away anything the Beatles recorded, he spooled it onto the end of the tape, so he wouldn't get into trouble. And when Paul listened back to it the next day, he decided he liked it again! So he kept it on the end. (So that's why there's such a long silence between the songs.) But because the cut was only supposed to be rough, it carried away the last note of 'Mean Mr. Mustard' as well (that's why it starts so abruptly with a crashing chord), and the last note was left behind... at the beginning of 'Polythene Pam'!

interreting...

General Commentone reason it might be the fitting end for the beatle's swan song(let it be does not count) is that after all of the beatles(all the ones that can sing anyway) were in perfect harmony in The End...paul gets the last word by singing this

General CommentI think it's a cute little ditty type song- I disagree with infidel, the track is perfectly alright. As for out of place, music doesn't always have to have a place. Does it?

General Commenti know this is wrong, but i once heard that this song was written by GEORGE simply to fill out the last of the time on the LP. just sort of an interesting story about how wild these rumors can get

General CommentThe Beatles shouldn't have had this song at the end. It just doesn't fit. They should have put "The End" at the end of Abby Road. It just embodies all The Beatles stand for, especially the last line "In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make". This is still a good, short song, but it doesn't seem to fit very well at the end of Abby Road.

General CommentI think this is the greatest Beatles song and the best end to any album ever. It's no accident. The off note it ends on is one of the best in music history.
