And it's something that's a complete mystery to me. I can't remember ever hearing of it. Can't think of a reason I'd have stumbled across it and gone to Spotify to start up with it so I could hear this thing. Is Spotify pulling my leg?
I asked Grok what the hell it was and got: "'Chatty Cats' is likely some super-obscure or random kids'/background track that got logged as your very first play. It's extremely common for Spotify's 'first song ever' to be something you don't recognize at all."

Without direct experience with Spotify, my impression of Spotify comes from seeing others interact. This statement piqued further interest: It's extremely common for Spotify's 'first song ever' to be something you don't recognize at all.
What a way to start a relationship. By assigning you a first song instead of logging what you pick.
Chatty Cats is the song whose link you came upon on one if your walks.
I clicked the play button, so now it may be my first song on Spotify, if I ever sign up for the service. But seriously, the obvious suspect here is Meade.
The number one goal in all these platform is 'engagement'. For that, the programmers do whatever it takes.
Maybe they noticed your rat sketches.
Spotify, the spy who loved me.
Well.... maybe someone who runs a daily blog for over 20 years is by definition 'chatty'
The adverb in "extremely common" grates as overwrought and just plain unnecessary.

My first Spotify track was a Joe Rogan podcast, as I joined to protest Neil Young's anti-Joe Rogan meltdown of 2022.
I know this because I, in fact, liked Chatty Cats, put it on my favorites playlist, and listen to it every once in a while.
“Can't think of a reason I'd have stumbled across it and gone to Spotify to start up with it so I could hear this thing. Is Spotify pulling my leg?”
Maybe when it looked up your real first song, it knew that was something you wouldn’t want on your permanent record. It’s looking out for you.
The song Spotify claims is the first one I played is "We're All Alone" by Boz Scaggs, which is plausible, but the date Spotify identified is about five years before I recall using the service. Spotify also built me a playlist of the 120 songs I've supposedly played the most; the top song ("Carry On" by CSNY) was also plausible but surprising. I have almost 130 different playlists now, so Spotify has quite a dossier on me, I'm sure.
As a man, Spotify reminded me of my first menstrual period.
Were I to make a guess, people’s first Spotify song is unrecognizable because, not yet understanding how Spotify works, they hit the play button without purposely choosing a song.
Reminded me of “Smelly Cat”, so song that Phoebe sang on Friends.
Spotify correctly identified my first song from April 11 last year, which I streamed because it was a freebie from an artist - Keith Thomas - who I've followed for many years in the Contemporary Christian Music scene. He's done a lot more outside that genre, but that's where I first heard his work.
Spotify's AI prompt feature to generate your own playlist is what AI is best at. I just bought a new car, and it came with Sirius, which is just boring, and then I wrote out a long prompt for the specific kind of '90s music I wanted to hear, "no highly distorted and loud guitar being the main feature of the song,, don't overdo it with moody female vocalists sharing their pain, a couple is OK, and add in a few slow songs if you like, but make sure to put in some upbeat, add in a share of whimsical, etc, etc," and bang! I got a great playlist I would have had a hard time putting together myself.
The only reason for anybody to ever pay for Sirius is that they don't know about streaming music.
