Besides the Thundercats intro? Thinking back, I remember this being it.

Pretty interesting question that I've never really thought on. This is the first song I remember hearing on the radio and asking mom to turn it up. I think I was around 5 when it came out. So either this one or "Do the Bartman" or "Can't Touch This"
I was a big fan of The Monkees in the early grade school years. Loved their show.

Joy to the World....Three Dog Night. Can't believe it came out in 71. #old
They don’t write their own songs or play their own instruments. That’s not even Michael Nesmiths real hat.
It was easy to remember.
Long time ago, but here are a few (kind of a mixed bag)
Boogie Man - KC and the Sunshine Band
Rock N Roll All Nite - Kiss
Kazmir - Led Zeppelin

I was never much into music, but I reckon it would be Honky Tonk Blues by Hank Williams. I recall as a kid, there was a small grocery store a mile or two down the road. Sometimes I would go there with dad and get a bottle of coke for 6 cents and that song would be on the radio. The grocers son would be there sometimes. He was seven foot tall and played basketball at Vandy, if memory serves. It was all pretty impressive to a little kid.
I don't know. I loved all of John Williams's Star Wars and Superman music, so possibly that.
I was barely four when MTV debuted in '81 and the first major video that I remember is Michael Jackson's Thriller in '83. It's never been my favorite song, but it was always an event when it was on, especially when it played on the big screen at the local pizza place.

These two take me back to when I was very young.
Since it got radio play, the theme from The Greatest American Hero is the first I remember. Played the 45 on my little record player.
Beat It is the first real song I remember playing over and over.

I was born in 73 so I remember my first song I loved being the good ol boys theme from the dukes of hazzard. Loved that show and still love the song. Probably why I love Willie, Waylon, Cash etc so much!
First and second grade, I remember having TV theme songs stuck in my head. First favorite was likely this one.
Or possibly...

Kindergarten age: Hello, I Love You by the Doors
The next year: Honky Tonk Women
A little later, I remember American Pie. Seems like a million years ago when those songs were first released. Cavemen, Neanderthal times.

That is funny, we must be about the same age, but I vaguely remember "Downtown" as a very young boy, maybe the first song I can remember on the radio.
First song I remember really catching my ear as to Rock was "Get Off My Cloud" by the Stones, which I still think is one of their best early tunes.
I had no idea the Paddock was this old lol.
My sister (5 years older than me) bought this 45 single when I was about 6 or 7 (first grade), and I used to bug the crap out of her to play it constantly. Just loved it. And I still do. I had the lyrics memorized, and would belt it out. Which, in retrospect, considering the subject matter, was probably a constant source of amusement to her and her friends.
Learned, much later in life, that Randy Newman wrote this.

Downtown by Petula Clark (even though I didn't know who it was then) is the first song I can consciously remember hearing on the radio (in our car, going somewhere) I couldn't have been more than 3 years old, but for some reason, I remember that.
We might actually agree on a particular band. Yeah, they only sang covers, but when they did a song, they did it better than anyone.
I think I was 4 or 5 when I liked that song.
ABC and different songs from the Jackson five were songs I liked as a kid. I remember really liking Jim Croce and Steve Miller as I approached 10. Elton John, Queen, ELO, Kiss in my pre-teen years.
I just thought of another - 'Hey there, Georgy Girl' by the Seekers (had to look that up). It was released in '66 (I was 3) so I know I couldn't have remembered it from its initial release. But, I'm guessing it was still being played in '68 or '69 every so often as I distinctly remember hearing it when I was young. Hello, I Love You was '68 and Honky Tonk Women was '69 so I definitely remember those two from the same time period.
Hoyt Axton the songwriter. I knew he wrote that one for TDN but did not know he also penned 'Never Been to Spain'.
I was a child of the 80's. Grew up with my parents listening to the Beatles and the Beach Boys. Pop was my favorite when I started appreciating music. I did add rap and hair band to my playlists. Even a little hard rock when I was in my high school years. Pretty much listened to everything but country (minus a few songs) when I got out on my own.
First favorite one I remember was this.
My real favorite came right after that.
