Somehow, The Pina Colada Song as a first song learned is just about the weirdest thing in eight pages.
yeah, not something you really have to learn...took about a minute to figure out.
...i like that song
apart from that, one of the first songs i learned:
Ahh how to really think about this one, It was actually on Upright Mary had a Little lamb in

I don't remember one song specifically, because I was just trying to play in a garage band. Maybe Louie Louie or Gimme Some Lovin'.
When my dad funded my first ever cheap bass and amp, I didn't own any records so I learned by playing along to whatever I could borrow from my parents or big brother. The first song I ever sat down and worked out was I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone by The Monkees. Four notes. Easy as. Good start.
The second song was The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee by The Hollies. Still pretty easy, but more notes and some faster bits in there. Cool.
Then I bought my first LP. Led Zeppelin II. Once I'd learned Whole Lotta Love there was no going back.
