Bobby G, you are my hero.
The second set of lyrics is very close to what my dad sang, and the tune is the same.
You guys: remember to ask your parents stuff like this while you still can!

Yikes! You know you are advancing in years when someone's first melody memories are songs you danced to in high school. You mean there are people out there who were born during the Disco Era (mid-70's) and actually have a license to drive?
Twitterpate, you jogged my memory on one I heard constantly as a wee one. Don't you mean Winchester Cathedral?

Or they could be like me and grew up in a household that played little but Opera and baroque music until they were in junior-high.

Ah yes, there is a remarkably good version of it on the album Best of Moog. In fact, now that I think about it, most of my early non-classical music was the Perry-Kingsley stuff they player on Wonderama.

If the songs in question are to be radio or record only, I can't honestly remember the earliest ones I've heard.
On the other hand, if theme songs count, I would suspect it would be something Saturday morning oriented, like Supercar, or perhaps the Jetsons, Gilligan's Island, the Flintstones, Beverly Hillbillies, etc etc etc until my head explodes. |

All the male members of my family play the trumpet, so my earliest music memories involve Al Hirt, Maynard Ferguson and Herb Alpert - specifically Hirt's "Green Hornet Theme", Maynard's "Birdlan" and Alpert's "Rise".
From my Mom's side I got bombarded by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons... my brother and I could recite "My Eyes Adored You" by the time we were five. |

Apparently, when I was about three years old, I was sitting with my mom in the choir at church one Sunday. The pastor asked me what my favorite song was, probably expecting me to sing some tune that I learned in the nursery. Instead, I belted out "Rhinestone Cowboy" in front of the whole congregation. Either I was too young to remember it or I just blocked it out of my memory.
I do, however, have not-so-fond memories of my older brother & sister scaring me out of the bathtub by playing "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. I'm so glad that they found that amusing.
The first music that was copletely mine, though? Hmm...either a Tom T. Hall LP(!) (I had a lot of different musical influences) or a Sesame Street 8-track(!!)

Don't take this personally, but you guys are making me feel very young (and for some reason, this year, after a lot of tragedy, I kinda realized how many years have just swung by).
I can't necesarily remember the specific songs, but I know the albums that had them, because wherever I went, whenever I went, when someone wanted to put a tape in these are what I grabbed, so there are some albums mixed in:
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA (entire album)
Sly and the Family Stone - Dance to the Music
Flash Gordon Theme - Queen
Best of the Monkees (album)
Simon and Garfunkel Greatest Hits (album, but particular Bridge over Troubled Water and I am a Rock)
Guns and Roses - Patience, Paradise City (my dad actually went for it)
Lets Go Mets!....Explanation: One year the mets released a little inspirational video where they goofed around, etc, and the theme song was a decent rock tune called Lets Go Mets. We bought seasonal tickets to the Mets every year, so one day I set up a tape recorder in front of my mothers radio, taped it off the VHS tape, and we had a ritual to start the song as soon as we saw Shea Stadium
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
Bah Weep Granna Weep Ninny Bahn - Universal Greeting
Est Solarus Oth Mithas - Solamnic Knight Pledge
And now its me too:
