Roll Over Beethoven was a 1956 hit single by Chuck Berry. The lyrics of the song mention rock and roll and the desire for R&B to replace classical music.
The song has since been covered by many other artists and Rolling Stone Magazine have ranked Chuck Berry's version No.97 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time.
Amazingly, the single failed to make the charts in the UK, he never even had his first hit song in the UK until 1957.
