The "duet version" of Heart and Soul on piano.  My aunt would play the chordal parts and I'd play the solo...then we'd switch.
 
But really the first thing I learned how to play was a fairly-common-for-the-time little nothing that I never even knew the title of.  You make your right hand into a fist and "roll it upwards across" the black keys F#, G# and A#  then strike the C# twice.  Then you reverse the process rolling your fist downward A#, G# and F# and strike the D# twice.  There's also a little ending thingy.  I could probably play it were I sitting at a piano now.  But it's hard to describe.  Definitely a childs thing.  I was 4 years old at the time.

I know that one! Not being a keyboard player, this is my 'go-to' when I find myself with the ivories in front of me.

the theme from Jaws

What...no one's first was Smoke On The Water...I thought everyone worked out those bass string notes the minute they picked up their first guitar!  LOL
 
I can't remember the first song that I learned the strum chords too.  It had to be an early Beatles tune, though.  I think the first song I really worked hard on learning the riff to was Day Tripper.

I saw a documentary about the making of Machine Head recently and RB said that almost everyone plays it wrong.

 

Moonlight sonata movement 1 but never finish so maybe Fur Elise sense I can play entire song.
And my instrument is a piano.

First, a caveat:  I don't consider myself a musician.  I've always been more on the recording side of things.  That said, I mess around on keyboards from time to time.  I had an Elka Rhapsody 490 for many years.  When I first started working, I was asked to help out in a band that was to perform for the Holiday party in the cafeteria.  The song I was most involved with was Nights In White Satin. I learned the strings and a little synth part that I played on a borrowed Arp Axxe.  
 
We set up everything.  Some amps were placed on a conveyor belt that normally took dirty dishes to be washed.  We were told that it wouldn't be used that day.  Well, someone turned it on during the song.  There was a pretty nasty train wreck for a moment while people scrambled to keep the amps from moving and pulling out cables. The bass player kept going and we recovered pretty quickly.  Someone finally found the switch and turned off the conveyor.  
 
That was my first song and one of my very few public performances.  ...and a fun memory.

Heh, got a pretty interesting visual in my head of that dish conveyor!  LOL.
 
Gosh Jan, if you had been born to the current generation, all you'd need to do to call yourself a musician is be able to loop a few samples!

I've done a loop or two.  I haven't published them because they are more than a few samples.  One sont is a tribute to Steely Dan's "Josie".  The other is a Halloween themed piece with lots of lines from old movies. 

  Watch out!  DJ Jan iz in da hood and he be spinnin'.  

Hi,
 
I don't think I know a single song yet!
 
I have to rectify that, but the songs I want to play, no one has any information on it, and I can not find notations for it.
 
Let's see ... I wanna learn the following: (on the BASS by the way!)
 
Guru Guru - The Girl from Hirschhorn (Dance of the Flames)
Guru Guru - Dagglebert Duck's 100th birthday (Dance of the Flames)
Amon Duul 2 - Apocaliptyc Bore (Vive La Trance)
Amon Duul 2 - All of the "Wolf City" album
Can - Bel Air (Future Days)
Can - Chain Reaction (and it's follow up) (Soon over Babaluma)
Hawkwind --- Steppenwolf and Reefer Madness (Astounding Sounds Amazing MUsic)
Hawkwind - all of the "Electric Tepee" album
 
Maybe even a little Pink Floyd, like "Echoes", but it has become so passe now! Maybe even a little Dream Theater, though I doubt I can even count the notes John plays!

My advice? Start with 1 and add 1 to that number for each one he plays after that.
 
Usually works for me.

craigb,
 
What's this hair guitar you speak of?

Stratic Electricity?

Mebee after I wax my "surfboard".
