In your opinion, what's the best Chuck Berry song ever?

"All of Chuck's children are out there playing his licks..."
(From "Rock & Roll Never Forgets" by Bob Seger)

John Lennon said, "If you tried to give rock & roll another name, you might call it Chuck Berry.'"

Bob Dylan once called him "the Shakespeare of rock & roll"
