What was the first song?

Question

What was the first song ever downloaded from the internet, or downloaded onto the internet?

Answer 1

The first song ever downloaded off the internet = Ben Folds Five - Brick. Look at my source at the end.

Answer 2

"Flight of the Valkyries". There was a file being passed around usergroups back in the early 1980s that played "Flight of the Valkyries" on the built-in PC speaker that old 8088-type motherboards had. There were various other subsequent files that eventually resembled speech and other songs, but this one was the first.

edit: Technically that's not the internet, but it's pretty damn close. To better answer the question, it would probably be better to know if it was an actual song or a MIDI/MOD/S3M recreation...
