I agree. I got the album the same time (and the same reason!). I assumed they were purposely done that way; it’s a Beatles album!

I received Abbey Road as a Xmas present in ‘69. I never thought the ending of either side was a miscue.

There’s a reason that the last song on the final Beatles album is based on a Robert Johnson song.
What is Robert Johnson most famous for? McCartney even has a song featuring the theme song from the Crossroads TV program.

Thanks Huh! You are completely sane (probably). Never heard it before, but there it is!

She didn’t play it because Phil the Greek thought they had to pay for it! “Send that bloody thing back!” Said p the g. “I’m not made of money!”

Absolutely. I never heard the song by RJ before just listening to it, but it’s definitely the same melody as Her majesty. I have to admit there’s not much to the RJ song.

The Beatles sent the Queen the album for Christmas. Wonder if she ever played it.

To really make it complete though, you have to get Her Majesty’s final (D major) chord from a bootleg and tack that on.

Dude, I was listening to Abbey Road for the first time with my new headphones tonight and I noticed that too! Wonder if it’s just the affects of reusing tape to record like the end of Dark Side of the Moon or if it was intentional.

Am I insane or do I hear an opera type singer at :04 seconds in?

From Monty Python’s Oscar Wilde Sketch (edited):

“Oscar: Your Majesty, you’re like a big jam doughnut with cream on the top.
…like a doughnut your arrival gives us pleasure and your departure merely makes us hungry for more.”

It never bothered me that his song popped up at the end. It was a little morsel on the plate when you think the delicious meal is over. My overwhelming thought that I am surprised no one else has mentioned is how much I wish this would have been longer. I suppose part of its appeal is that it leaves you wanting more.

Are you sure Paul sang live with the guitar? There’s a clip on YouTube of Paul playing through the song on guitar, slower the first time then fast the second time. The same guitar from the fast clip then plays again with Paul’s vocals on it, which is the version we all know.

Is there a way you can share that version? I’d love to hear it!

When I was younger it would bother me that they chose to have “Her Majesty” as the last song on what would be their last (recorded) album. “The End” is simply a beautifully perfect way to go out! Today, I appreciate the humor of this song and see it as fitting. The Beatles were never ones to take themselves too seriously after all, just one of the many things that is so endearing about them.

Song writing is a complex process and I speak from experience. You compose on an instrument and bring to it all you have written before and all that you have ever heard. This is how songs sound similar. To point out their similarity is one thing. To suppose how that similarity came about is just like someone commenting on your mimicking how someone else talks and then telling you why you do it.

I did the same thing (mixing “Windows” and “Golden Slumbers.” I always disliked the break there.

I first heard Abbey Road when a friend recorded it onto one side of a 90 minute tape for me. The album doesn’t fit, and for a while I thought that the album ended with Ringo’s solo on “The End”.
