1. What is the 'very first song' that you can remember??
2. And what is the first song that really blew your mind??

For me:
1. First song: "How much is that doggie in the window".
2. The first song that really blew my mind and started my love of music was: "Girl from Ipanema" by Antonio Carlos Jobim with Astrud Gilberto.

Brazilians Jobim and Gilberto still blow my mind even today! Just bought Jobim's "Wave": very nice indeed! :thmbsp:

First song I can remember: You are my sunshine.

First song that blew my mind: The 1812 overture. I WORE OUT that record as a kid. The string chorale at the beginning sent literal shivers down my spine.
 
First song I remember was Me & Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin.

First song that blew my mind was Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin. There have been many more since :music:
 
First song I remember was "Wichita Lineman" by Glen Campbell. Mom says I danced in my diapers to that tune. Didn't hear it again, to the best of my knowledge, until 1997 when I saw Glen. I knew the words, and wasn't sure how I did.....very very weird. Great tune.

I also remember riding in the rear deck of my mom's '75 Bonneville, being AMAZED by Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street". I was about 6.
 
first i can remember is def leppards pour some sugar on me and the first one that blew my mind i cant remember lol
 
A tie between Surf City and Puff, The Magic Dragon. It was 1963. I was in first grade and surf-rock and folk music were all over the radio. I quickly became a Top 40 addict. My mom will tell you she distinctly remembers me humming This Old Man when I was about a year old. I'll have to take her word for it.
 
The first song I remember learning was the Tigger Song from Winnie the Pooh

The first two songs that really blew me away were " One of These Days" & "Echoes" from Pink Floyd's "Meddle"

I had never heard of Pink Floyd. I was 7 years old and heard this "8-track" at a "record" store with my 19 year old uncle. I wore out a half-dozen 8-tracks before finally getting a turntable to use for a vinyl copy. I actually bought the turntable to listen to "Meddle".
 
First song I remember is Van Halen - Jump
First one to blow my mind Shpongle - A New Way To Say Hooray!
 
John Williams, Memoirs of a Geisha (The album was produced in 1997, but I'm sure I did not buy it until well after 2000).

Not only did it blow my mind, It completely changed my listening habits. This in return, changed the direction I was going with audio equipment.

Whats weird, is that I can listen to the same album today, and do not hear the same qualities in it, that I once admired.

But, It is this one album, that broke me away from the strictly classic rock scene, and forced me to explore other forms of music.
 
First song I remember was Georgie Girl in the 60's and the 1st Song that blew me away was side one of "A Passion Play" by Jethro Tull and I haven't been the same since!

First song? Tough one... I come from a musical family, where nearly everyone sung and played an instrument so I really can't recall a time when I suddenly encountered music. I can only theorize that my first song was most likely a hymn, or a Christmas carol.

First song that blew my mind? Purple Haze. I was 13 years old, and for some reason it was the the first song I had ever really heard. Amazing.
 
The one that blew my mind was, High High High by 'WINGS'. :D Followed by 'Cocaine' by 'ERIC CLAPTON'. :music:
 
First song that I can remember blowing my mind was "Rockin' Robin" with a young Michael Jackson. The last one that blew my mind was Focus by Hocus Pocus, two days ago.
 
First song I remember? Hell, I dunno. I think it was "Another One Bites the Dust."

First song that blew my mind? I definitely remember that. I was riding my big wheel around the corner, where I wasn't supposed to be, and some kid was cranking Black Sabbath's "Electric Funeral" out of his bedroom window, second floor of his house. I had to have been three, four tops. I remember just hanging out until it was finished.
 
First song- "Majorette" by Monte Kelly, c. 1955 (No, you've NEVER heard of it-OR him)
First Song to blow me away-"Family Affair" by Sly & the Family Stone, 1971

The Raspberries "Please Go all the Way" is the first in terms of earliest definite memory of a song. I was addicted to radio practically from birth. My first tape recording was off the radio with my portable cassette recorder and that song was first on the tape- the one that made me first press "rec."

before that, I know I had Beatles '65 and a few Beatles singles. I have a really faded memory of taking a radio into the front foyer and listening and dancing to some beatles special on the radio. I was four or five. I liked the peppy ones, but I can't say "I Saw Her Standing There" or "Any Time at All" for sure, but it's one of them.

The first song to blow my mind was "Strawberry Fields Forever." I would like to say "Tomorrow Never Knows," which REALLY blew my young mind, but I bought the "Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane" single before I got Revolver. I distinctly remember listening to that over and over and feeling my pulse quicken as the first section ended and the second section began. I couldn't express it in as many words but I could tell magic lived in that single moment, and, as brief as it is, it was a profound listening experience for me as a kid. As others have stated here, it's when I started really LISTENING to music.

Oh yeah, Brazilian music blows my mind too. I remember first hearing Os Mutantes, one of the first truly out-there bands I'd heard and just thought, man, there is a whole world out there I know absolutely nothing about. And after that there was no turning back!
