What was first song?

The Hurrian Songs are the earliest surviving substantially complete songs. These melodies were inscribed in cuneiform on clay tablets in the Hurrian city-state of Ugarit (present-day Ra's Shamra in Syria) and discovered by archeologists in 1950. The songs date back to somewhere between 1450 and 1200 BC, making them over 3200 years old.
