Really? Bohemian Rhapsody was an easy song to memorize for me. Even the parts in other languages. (Found this on Google a while ago for what they mean)
Bismillah is Arabic. This is the meaning >
The common translation for bismillah is "In the name of Allah", which is actually an idiom, an expression that really does not make much sense on a literal word-by-word basis.
Scaramouche is the title of a book, written by Rafael Sabatini in 1921. There's also a film based on this book.
Fandango: From the portuguese "fado" which means "dance" and "typical song" and from the Latin "fatus" which means "fate". It's a typical Spanish musical form (Flamenco).

In the olden days, after dinosaurs, but right before the wheel was invented, 
rolleyes, we bought albums. And on the back of album covers, or inside on the sleeves or an inserts, were all the lyrics, who wrote the songs, and who played on that recording. Many of us got to reading the lyrics while hearing the album. It became a tradition -- how to learn what new songs said.
That's still a part of me. More of a habit (or refresher course, since I don't buy much music anymore, just keep listening to "my music") than anything else. But big challenge to not only know the words but sing with them when it's a fast song.
I have officially become old, because I can't sing along with Billy anymore. I don't mind too much, because even Billy hates that Young Billy wrote songs in keys Old Billy can't hit anymore. lol

Christmas music is probably the first songs most of us learned .
I don't know if these we're on the radio, but My mom played the Sound of Music when I was young. My Favorite Things was probably the first song I ever memorized.
She played Andy Williams too so Moon River would have been another one I memorized at a young age.
In elementary the first song I remember memorizing was Home Home on the Range. Our teacher had us sing it all the time. It must have been his favorite.
I didn't really listen to radio until I was older so I don't really know what songs were on the radio.
I think at 10-11, the first song on the radio I heard at that time would have been, I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher. The only part I had memorized was, I Got You Babe. LOL
These Boots Are Made For Walking by Nancy Sinatra was another one at that age that I remember. Again, I only memorized, These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do......one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you. I didn't memorize the rest of the song.
I just wasn't much of a listener to the radio. I had a friend who loved music. I would be over at her house a lot and she always played her 45's.
Here are a few I would have memorized.
Puff the Magic Dragon
Georgie Girl
The Letter
Reach Out and I'll Be There
Lay Lady Lay
Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
You Are My Special Angel
Will you Still Love Me Tomorrow
If I Had a Hammer
Will I See You In September
On TV - Somewhere Over the Rainbow would probably be the first I memorized.
I memorized The Exodus Song by Pat Boone for a modern dance routine in Jr High.

I knew the fandango was a dance. I didn't know it was the same thing as the flamenco though. (Always pictured it closer to the tango.)[/QUOTE]
Yes, the pandanggo is a popular dance here, as in the Pandanggo sa Ilaw, from Mindoro island.
[FONT="]This popular dance of grace and balance comes from Lubang Island, Mindoro. The term pandanggo comes from the Spanish word fandango, which is a dance characterized by lively steps and clapping that varies in rhythm in 3/4 time. This particular pandanggo is one of the most difficult of pandanggo, which involves the presence of three tinggoy, or oil lamps, balanced on the head and the back of each hand.
Here is a version on utube. I didnt watch this now myself, but these are so common in Filipiniana programs worldwide, and i am using a laptop instead of a pc where i am more comfortable. I hope u can appreciate this.

1. What was the first popular song you memorized, and how old were you? (Vaguely, if you can't remember if it was before or after your birthday that year.)
2. What was the hardest song you ever memorized and why do you think it was hard?
3. Do you still remember them?
[/QUOTE]
1. Brick House, by the Commodores and I was 15
2. I Want To Know What Love Is, by Foreigner... because I'm very analytical
3. OH YEAH!
