FΓΌr Elise or the Blue Danube I think, they were in a kid's fairytale audiobook CD (not tape!) that got very heavy rotation. The Blue Danube used to come at the middle/intermission of a story that always gave me very ominous, anxious feelings and to this day I can't think of it as a magnificent, stately song reminiscent of a big flowing river, just a sense that the baddies are around the corner. I think we had some tapes of The Carpenters (Top of the World was definitely pre-primary).

I don't remember anything earlier aside from your usual kids clapping songs etc.
