The ONE song you absolutely loved the very first time you heard it?

My theory is that most songs require two listens to become favorites... the first time around you're receptive to it, then the second time you recall it and fall for it.

But, there are a few that grab you right away, and only one that grabs you the most.

Now, I'm not saying this is my favorite song... it's just the one that really, really mesmerized me the first time I heard it... and, no, not that shortened AM version but the true original:

Don't Fear the Reaper

ETA: Glad To See You Go. My introduction to the Ramones. To say I was absolutely stunned is an understatement.

Can't You Hear Me Knocking - The Rolling Stones

ETA: Jesus Christ, I didn't notice i'm like the 4th or 5th guy to submit a Stones song. I guess Keith Richards really knows how to set up a song.

I remember hearing this song for the first time on WABC New York in 1964 when my Dad was driving me to a CYO basketball game. I said, "This is the greatest song I ever heard". (I had a great depth of music as an 8th grader ). I still love the song:

Once in a Lifetime as a kid, and I'm not the biggest Folds 5 guy, but when I heard Underground on the radio I almost had to pull the car over.

Sigh.

The ones that grab you the quickest tend not to hold up over time, at least for me.

It's hard to say there is plenty...but the ones I remember most that I still love were when I was a kid in the 90s.
