This is amazing. Thanks so much for posting this. I "listen" to music all day in my head but never thought about using it to be able to sing the specific notes. I'm looking forward to trying this later with my guitar.

Terrific list, thank you! I have pretty good absolute pitch, and can hear songs play in my head just like the real thing (I often wear headphones that aren’t connected to anything and just “listen”), but I never thought to make the connections like this. Very fun!
What happens when you transpose one of your first chord songs?
A: Jessica, Allman Brothers
A#: In Bloom, Nirvana
B: Out on the Weekend, Neil Young
C: Like a Rolling Stone, Bob Dylan
C#: Say it Aint So, Weezer
D: Moonage Daydream, David Bowie
D#: Woman, John Lennon
E: Melissa, Allman Brothers
F: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Nirvana
F#: Foxy Lady, Jimi Hendrix
G: Santa Monica, Everclear
G#: Brain Stew, Greenday
The only part I'm not completely convinced is a learned skill is being able to internalize the song in the first place.
