Rolling Stones, The - Roll Over Beethoven Lyrics






I'm gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
It's a rockin' rhythm record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

You know, my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blows a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news

I got the rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I think I'm rollin' arthiritis
Sittin' down by the rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two

Well, if you feel you like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up just
A trifle further and reel and rock it
Roll it over
Roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two

Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you a warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news

You know she wiggles like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
Oughta see 'em reel and rock
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop

Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

Rolling Stones, The Roll Over Beethoven Comments
  1. H.... W....

    Extraordinary performance of this classic. This is remastered from a 1963 performance - amazing that we have this recording here to enjoy.

  2. T.... S....

    Love the sound on these early ‘beat boom’ tracks by the Stones, Beatles etc.. you can see why the kids went mad for it... they’re exciting even now, half a century on!

  3. H.... t....

    Divine Presence can be with you by the method, what is about being without probleming. More infos are also can be reached.

  4. P.... :....

    Mick vocal is terrible , particularly set against Chuck’s wonderfully witty swingy 1956 take, but Bill Wyman’s bass “looms” as always in a distinctively modern and heavy metalish way: compare his all powerful bass to the almost inaudible bass of Paul Mac or Willie Dixon.

  5. M.... c....

    Fodasticos!!!!!!!!!

  6. N.... N....

    beatles,stones e queen ❤

  7. S.... F....

    Bill Wayman! What a bass performance

    S.... F....

    Bill & Charlie - the backbone of the band always first class.

  8. B.... W....

    I barely ever prefer covers to original but this is lit.

  9. R.... C....

    ... Beethoven... 63-10-26 Saturd. club. Priceless

  21. B.... E....

    Something else, I had to sing this myself a few times just for a band of session musicians that was touring France. I was translating and then got roped into singing with them. Nailing the Lyrics was one thing but God Jaggers voice, song just rolls around his tounge, he makes it sound as simple as breathing with a gorgeous raspiness thrown in. I think beethoven rolled over!!! 💗 🌹

    Excelente, una versión bien stone...

  54. M.... M....

    😍🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  55. T.... D....

    Not only is the beatles version way better but George sings it way better than Mick. Stones at there worst here though. Sound like some white boys trying to be black and failing badly.

    T.... D....

    Lord Malberry go take a selfie!

    T.... D....

    you kidding me Mick Jagger was known as the white kid that could sing blues. and also black folks said the white boys over there know nothing about blues. but they never expected the Rolling Stones and well the others went out of business. I love the Beatles everyone knows they are the best but there is no way their version is better than this especially with George on the vocals and all the clapping going on.

  56. R.... ....

    Like the version of the Beatles but best!

  57. S.... P....

    The worst shit i ever heard! the Beatles is way much better, no contest.

    S.... P....

    Sylvain Paquette go take a selfie!

    S.... P....

    Can you do me a favor???? get lost

    S.... P....

    @Sylvain Paquette Another beatles jealous fan ...Go listen to coldplay or U2 thats even duller than beatles music

    S.... P....

    Jealous of what?? good music ???...but i think i know why you think the Stones are great, it's simply because it's easier for you to sing them all, you are a moron hahaha you're pathetic.

  58. l.... ....

    ...different...No..I like better Stones version..more in C. Berry style

  59. T.... L....

    where's Ian Stewart?

  60. t.... w....

    flashback from old century rock n roll...yea so great to enjoying for this one I'd like it...♥ thanks you "theRollingStones"

  61. H.... J....

    as much as i love the stones, in this case the Beatles version sung by George is Better

    H.... J....

    Tom Fernández he isss tho

    H.... J....

    Mustache 577 this is why the world is how it is.... disappointed

    H.... J....

    Tom Fernández haha

    H.... J....

    is that why they have less views ?

    H.... J....

    George was daddy for stones 😂

  62. J.... G....

    I feel transported 1963. It is magic, yeah! Greetings from La Coruña, Spain.

  63. J.... ....

    The true king of rock.

  64. m.... ....

    This is badass't, but the Beatles version rocks better for me. The stones version of Oh Carol is better than the Beatle version. They were the 2 best bands in the world at the time & you can add the Yardbirds and the kinks and the dave clark five to that argument. They gave each other a run for the money.

  65. R.... L....

    This is pure rock n rolling stoned roll!!!! :)

  66. N.... ....

    🔥De las mejores bandas🎶

  67. h.... i....

    Keith Richards slayed the hell out of that guitar in a pure Chuck Berry style

    h.... i....

    have you seen the video of Chuck and Keith playing. oh Carol. hare to find its awesome

    h.... i....

    Like Santa!!!

    h.... i....

    He could cut them strings no shit. And, hell, he was just a kid.

  68. A.... i....

    This is completely awesome!!

  69. A.... i....

    When will Chuck come back ???

  70. n.... ....

    Rhythm section is a bit off.

  71. V.... L....

    Dude it's the best version i've ever eard

    V.... L....

    Y’all’s is right. ‘m tired of explain’ it to Yankees!

    V.... L....

    I prefer the Beatles version,but this one is amazing too

    V.... L....

    listen to the electric light orchestra version

  72. A.... A....

    Oh yeah LETS COMPARE THE BEATLES AND THE STONES..... first we had pepper then satanic, can you follow? ok... then the white album followed by an also white cover for beggars...... many years later we had the Beatles' ON AIR album, AND WHAT DO WE GONNA GET NOW? guys im only joking but stop making fuzz over who was better, everyone knows that allready, RIGHT?

    A.... A....

    Arno: What does that have to do with anything? You are missing the point. Why do people always have to make a comment about how the Stones were doing things to copy the Beatles? The Beatles originally released their BBC recordings in the early 1990's, the Stones are releasing their BBC recordings almost 25 years after the Beatles. How about all the other bands who have released BBC recordings since then? How come your not criticizing those bands?

    A.... A....

    I guess you missed the part where he said he was "just joking" about how some folks are making a fuss over who is better.

    A.... A....

    the beatles did released a second volume On Air, Live At The BBC in 2013!

    A.... A....

    Because the were 'On Air'. It's also followed as "live on the BBC" as well, which is what everyone calls it.

  73. J.... B....

    Like this better than the Beatles version!

    J.... B....

    @WillemRM there was nothing wrong with George Harrison singing that song. And it rocks just as hard if not harder than this Stones version.

    J.... B....

    Of all singers in rock /RnRr, Harrison by his personality and his rather flat apathetic way of singing is really one of the least probable to get Beethoven to roll over.

    J.... B....

    Always loved George's Music. There was nothing wrong with his music or his singing. He had the biggest solo album of all four of them with All Things Must Pass. Was nothing wrong with George

    J.... B....

    Don't get me wrong I respect your opinion. But I am a fan of George Harrison. I was never into his religious following. But I always loved his music. Very relaxing very enjoyable.

    J.... B....

    @Hélène Bossuyt les trois ne sont pas comparables, ils sont tous égaux. (et on écrit Chuck Berry, pas Chuk)

  74. f.... W....

    O wise Joelean hath spoken. Rabbit 2×2 will do.

  75. H.... N....
