What is the first song you learned on the bass?

I think mine was "Dazed and Confused"

All the way through as opposed to just a famous riff? "I Can't Explain" by The Who.

Smells Like Teen Spirit, only I played it on my Epiphone Les Paul Jr. because I hadn't yet asked my dad for a bass. Good times!

"Devil in Her Heart" from the Beatles Second album. I have no idea why I picked that song. Learned it on my brother's upright a year before my mom bought me my first electric bass. On that bass, I think the first song I learned was "Wooly Bully."

Freebird is what convinced my daddy to buy me my first bass. Learned it on a guitar, and got a short scale jazz copy from sears around 1978

Red House by Jimi Hendrix - yeah, I know, original was played on a down tuned guitar, but it can be played on bass... second song I learned in its entirety was Queen's Another One Bites the Dust...

Green Onions. Then I copped a walking turnaround that I saw Duck Dunn play on a Youtube video from a 1980's reunion tour.
