August 13th, 8756 BCE, by Ughh the cave man, the song was "Who let's the dinosaurs out?" in the foothills of the Udalvi Range, western Africa, about 7:45 in the evening, if memory serves me right.

In China's Song Mountain area, there are many caves, steam vents, old lava tubes, cracks, etc., the wind makes the mountain "sing" ... The mountain has been considered sacred and special since long before the development of writing ... the first Chinese temples were built within the caves (after many thousands of years of "stone age cave dwelling"), and during the stormy season, when winds increase, the people would try to "sing" along with the mountain ... several of China's oldest stories, and all of its most ancient music, come from or are about this area. The development of musical instruments to attempt to duplicate the sounds of the mountain were made in this area of ancient China.

Wasn't it Barry Manilow (a.k.a Barely Maninuf). He was alive forever, he wrote the very first song..he put the words and the melodies together...

Music probably began when the first humans where created. Music accomodated man since the beginning of time, it just since 2000 B.C.that people have been notating music. So there is no way to determine that question. Music came in uncompleted and diffrent forms all primitive and simple (like most things a thousands of years ago).

The earliest written records of musical expression are to be found in the Sama Veda of India and in 4,000 year old cuneiform from Ur.

I did some extensive research on this question and I have just returned from Kawazaki in Northern Japan, where my intense research finally took me to. There was a story of a young Japananese girl whose father had killed himself cos he couldn't feed his family. No rice crops that particular year and to make things worse, no McDonald or Burger King nearby. Ooshee Nose was her name and this one particular morning she went down to the river to try to catch some mackerel for breakfast but after several hours they all swam past her outstretched hand and she was getting very tired very hungry and very very sad. She picked up an hollow reed and because her late father was a Beatles fan(yes even in the foothills of the Yamaha mountains, Paul and the boys were very popular) she put the reed near to her mouth and began singing Yesterday with such a beautiful voice and then all of a sudden she heard music that accompanied that song and she sang even louder. Very soon all the villagers came to listen and one by one they asked her to sing their favourite songs, of course which she did. Many of the younger villagers then picked up hollow reeds and began singing their own favourite songs but because there was too many singing they had to take turns and they had to scrawl their names and their choice of song on papyrus leaves. Well bless my little cotton socks but who would perchance to be passing by. Yes yes yes. A youngish Simon Cowell. He was gobsmacked and decided to take her and all the villagers by private bus into Tokyo where they sang down the reeds and this time they put their names and songs om paper. From there another young man Lee Lee Laa Laa was in the audience and he went home and built the very first karoake machine. This account is true and can be added to Wiki if you so wish. TB. Musical director and researcher

The first songs on this planet were sung by animals. Birds, insects, whales and monkeys are among the animals that sing. The oldest known (human) song was written in cuneiform, dating to 4,000 years ago from Ur. It was deciphered by Prof. Anne Draffkorn Kilmer (University of Calif. at Berkeley), and was demonstrated to be composed in harmonies of thirds, like ancient gymel (Kilmer, Crocker, Brown, Sounds from Silence, 1976, Bit Enki, Berkeley, Calif., LCC 76-16729), and also was written using a Pythagorean tuning of the diatonic scale.
