Ah....music!
Music was my first love! I grew up in a musical family, we were always singing along with the radio, singing in the car, singing around the campfire, singing with the extended family.
I didn't have a first song, I had many songs. I am blessed with a good memory, memorizing songs was easy - just sing along. It always amazes me to hear a song from the 1960's and I remember every word.
Probably, the more difficult music I memorized was Handel's Messiah, which I sang in twice. And then, I played in a rock band for 7 years, we had 300 songs in our current repertoire. So I sang a lot of music, when I wasn't playing sax or flute or violin!
Then I taught band, no memory required, and then elementary music. Everything from 2 note songs to teach pitch, to complicated folk songs. Maybe, "Froggy Went A-Courtin', was one of the longer and more complicated songs I taught, and even kids in grade 1 would memorize the 10+ verses. I even found the book, it had lovely pictures!
In grade 7, I had an English teacher, and she took the month of Dec. off to teach us Christmas carols. We sang all morning, every day. All the verses, and I have never forgotten them.
This week I was looking for my old KJV in the basement, and I found a bunch of my missing children's music books. I am so delighted! As for my personal favourites, there are too many write them out. Anything from classical to jazz, folk or rock.

1. ...Various Katy Perry songs. When I was 10. I still can't believe that I used to be into this kind of stuff. As for non-American songs, I found myself humming to and memorising various Vocaloid songs by heart around the end of 2014. I plan on returning to that stuff soon.
2. When I was in my more...dark and edgy stages of 2016, I fell in love with Art of Life from X Japan. I think that why this might be so difficult to completely memorise was because it was, I'm not at all kidding, HALF AN HOUR LONG. I am dead serious.
3. Yes. Here is the link, if you have the time:
