"%22Roll Over Beethoven%22 is a 1956 hit single by Chuck Berry originally released on Chess Records, with %22Drifting Heart%22 as the B-side. The lyrics of the song mention rock and roll and the desire for rhythm and blues to replace classical music. There is a popular saying that a deceased person would %22roll over in their grave%22 if they heard something that would have deeply disturbed them when they were alive. The title line of the song is a reference to how Ludwig van Beethoven would do just that in reaction to the advent of the new musical genre that Chuck Berry was leading. The song has been covered by many other artists and Rolling Stone ranked it #97 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time." . "Chuck Berry" . "Chess Records singles" .
