Jet by Paul McCartney is a vibrant, energetic song from his Band on the Run album released in 1973. The song is named after a pony that McCartney once owned, but much of the lyrics also reflect themes of freedom, independence, and youthful exuberance. Through its infectious melody and dynamic rhythm, Jet captures a sense of adventure and the thrill of leaving constraints behind. One poignant moment in the song is when McCartney sings about a 'major' who comes to dinner, which symbolizes authority figures and societal expectations. Another key theme is reflected in the recurring line, 'Jet, I thought the major was a lady suffragette,' illustrating a blending of historical references and playful storytelling.
