Maybe "Roll Over Beethoven," which is of course virtually indistinguishable from "Johnny B. Goode."

In fact, now that I think of it, most of Chuck Berry's songs were virtually indistinguishable from one another. Parents at the time noticed this, and commented on it. That doesn't make them bad, you understand.
