i don't know about elo, but the beatles pronunciation, seems spot on. 'move on up,just a trifle futher', comes out pretty clearly

David Huron's book Sweet Anticipation says that Roll Over Beethoven quotes the principal theme of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. I listened to the YouTube performance, but didn't hear it. Can anyone confirm or deny this? It seems like if it's true, it should be mentioned on this page. Musanim 03:38, 14 April 2007 (UTC)Musanim

[edit] Rockin' pneumonia

"Rockin' pneumonia" refer to Huey "Piano" Smith's "Rocking Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu".

I removed this, because it's demonstratively false. Chuck Berry's song came out in 1956; the Huey "Piano" Smith recording wasn't made until 1957. If anything, the reference should be the other way around: Perhaps the Smith song was influnenced by Berry? There's no way Berry got the reference from Huey Smith unless he was clairvoyant.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ChuckBerryRollOverBetthovenLabel.jpg

Image:ChuckBerryRollOverBetthovenLabel.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
