"The Birth of Rock & Roll or Too Hip for the Womb" is the second episode of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures season one. It aired on September 22, 1990 on CBS. It was written by John Loy and John Ludin.

In order to appreciate classical music for class, Bill & Ted go back in time to meet Mozart, but accidentally go back to when he was a kid, right when his parents need a babysitter. While babysitting, they then go to visit William Tell in 1300, although their pit stop in 1955 for a chance meeting with Little Richard (who guest stars as himself) proves to be more helpful.
