First song ever written

Discovered in the 1950s
This is oldest song known to man
Written in cuneiform
In the ancient language of Hurrian
Found on a clay tablet
In Ugarit, Syria
It was deciphered by
Prof. Anne Draffkorn Kilmer
Named Hurrian Hym No. 6
It's 3400 years old
Predating the next oldest song
By 1000 years we're told
