Chuck Berry telling the world that classical music is dead, and that people are gonna be listning to his Rock'n'roll now rather than that Beathoven nonsence.
Also inspired by the fact that as a child he didnt get a chance to show off his musical ability, as his sister was always playing classical music on the Piano. He wanted his turn!
@Comrade_Liar I have to say that I disagree with you in your interpretation of this song. Chuck Berry is not saying that classical music is dead; he is announcing his entry into the music world. Telling Beethoven to "Roll over and tell Tchaikovsky the news", he is announcing that he is here, and he's got talent.
The version that is done with ELO re-enforces this concept, as nobody blended classical music and classic rock better than ELO did.
