sorry for the extra apostrophe but I guess so
According to Bryan MacLean, "Orange Skies" was the first song he ever wrote. At the time 17 years old and working as a roadie for The Byrds, he based the song on a section from The Byrds' version of "The Bells of Rhymney", attributing that arrangement to Roger McGuinn
orange skies and sugar mountain are both songs that I can believe a teenager wrote tho

How Mozart's compositions are listed[edit]The indication "K." or "KV" refers to Köchel Verzeichnis (Köchel catalogue), i.e. the (more or less) chronological (i.e. by composition date) catalogue of Mozart's works by Ludwig von Köchel. This catalog has been amended several times, leading to ambiguity over some KV numbers (see e.g. Symphony No. 25).The compositions of Mozart listed below are grouped thematically, i.e. by type of composition. Not all thematic groups of Mozart's works have a separate numbering that is generally accepted: Köchel only numbers symphonies (1 to 41), piano concertos (1 to 27, leaving out some early transcriptions by Mozart) and a few other groups. On the other hand, for most chamber music and vocal music there is no such numbering (or at least no generally accepted one).Only relatively few of Mozart's compositions have opus numbers, as not so many of his compositions were published during his lifetime, so numbering by opus number proves quite impractical for Mozart compositions.Symphonies[edit]Main article: List of symphonies by Wolfgang Amadeus MozartMozart's symphonic production covers a 24-year interval, from 1764 to 1788. According to most recent investigations, Mozart wrote not just the 41 symphonies reported in traditional editions, but up to 68 complete works of this type. However, by convention, the original numbering has been retained, and so his last symphony is still known as "No. 41". Some of the symphonies (K. 297, 385, 550) were revised by the author after their first versions.
Childhood symphonies (1764–1771)[edit]These are the numbered symphonies from Mozart's early childhood.
Symphony No. 1 in E-flat major, K. 16Symphony No. 2 in B-flat major, K. 17 (spurious, attributed to Leopold Mozart)Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, K. 18 (spurious, by Carl Friedrich Abel)Symphony No. 4 in D major, K. 19Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major, K. 22Symphony No. 6 in F major, K. 43Symphony No. 7 in D major, K. 45Symphony No. 8 in D major, K. 48Symphony No. 9 in C major, K. 73/75aSymphony No. 10 in G major, K. 74Symphony No. 11 in D major, K. 84/73qSymphony No. 12 in G major, K. 110/75bSymphony No. 13 in F major, K. 112There are also several "unnumbered" symphonies from this time period. Many of them were given numbers past 41 (but not in chronological order) in an older collection of Mozart's works (Mozart-Werke, 1877–1910, referred to as "GA"), but newer collections refer to them only by their entries in the Köchel catalogue. Many of these cannot be definitively established as having been written by Mozart (see here).
Symphony in F major, K. 75 (GA 42)Symphony in F major, K. 76/42a (GA 43: doubtful)Symphony in D major, K. 81/73l (GA 44: doubtful)Symphony in D major, K. 95/73n (GA 45)Symphony in C major, K. 96/111b (GA 46)Symphony in D major, K. 97/73m (GA 47)Symphony in F major, K. 98/Anh.C 11.04 (GA 48/56: doubtful)Symphony in B-flat major, K. Anh. 214/45b (GA 55: doubtful)Symphony in B-flat major, K. Anh. 216/74g/Anh.C 11.03 (GA 54: doubtful)Symphony in G major, "Old Lambach", K. Anh. 221/45aSymphony in F major, K. Anh. 223/19aSymphony in A minor, "Odense", K. Anh. 220/16a (doubtful)Salzburg-era symphonies (1771–1777)[edit]These symphonies are sometimes subcategorized as "Early" (1771–1773) and "Late" (1773–1777), and sometimes subcategorized as "Germanic" (with minuet) or "Italian" (without minuet). None of these were printed during Mozart's lifetime.
Although not counted as "symphonies" the three Divertimenti K. 136–138, in 3-movement Italian overture style, are sometimes indicated as "Salzburg Symphonies" too.
Symphony No. 14 in A major, K. 114 (1771)Symphony No. 15 in G major, K. 124 (1772)Symphony No. 16 in C major, K. 128 (1772)Symphony No. 17 in G major, K. 129 (1772)Symphony No. 18 in F major, K. 130 (1772)Symphony No. 19 in E-flat major, K. 132 (1772)Symphony No. 20 in D major, K. 133 (1772)Symphony No. 21 in A major, K. 134 (1772)Symphony No. 22 in C major, K. 162 (1773)Symphony No. 23 in D major, K. 181/162b (1773)Symphony No. 24 in B-flat major, K. 182/173dA (1773)Symphony No. 25 in G minor, K. 183/173dB (1773)Symphony No. 26 in E-flat major, K. 184/161a (1773)Symphony No. 27 in G major, K. 199/161b (1773)Symphony No. 28 in C major, K. 200/189k (1774)Symphony No. 29 in A major, K. 201/186a (1774)Symphony No. 30 in D major, K. 202/186b (1774)There are also several "unnumbered" symphonies from this time period that make use of music from Mozart's operas from the same time period. They are also given numbers past 41.
Symphony in D major, K. 111+(120/111a) (GA 48)Symphony in D major, K. (126+(161/163))/141a (GA 50)Symphony in D major, K. 196+(121/207a) (GA 51)Symphony in C major, K. 208+(102/213c) (GA 52)Symphony in D major, K. 135+61hThere are also three symphonies from this time period that are based on three of Mozart's serenades:
Symphony in D major, K. 204 (based on the Serenade No. 5)Symphony in D major, K. 250 (based on the "Haffner" serenade)Symphony in D major, K. 320 (based on the "Posthorn" serenade)

Violin concertos[edit]Mozart's five violin concertos were written in Salzburg around 1775. They are notable for the beauty of their melodies and the skillful use of the expressive and technical characteristics of the instrument, though Mozart likely never went through all the violin possibilities that others (e.g. Beethoven and Brahms) did after him. (Alfred Einstein notes that the violin concerto-like sections in the serenades are more virtuosic than in the works titled Violin Concertos.)
Violin Concerto No. 1 in B-flat major, K. 207 (1775)Violin Concerto No. 2 in D major, K. 211 (1775)Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major, K. 216 (1775)Violin Concerto No. 4 in D major, K. 218 (1775)Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major, K. 219 (1775)Mozart also wrote a concertone, an adagio and two stand-alone rondos for violin and orchestra.
Concertone in C major, for Two Violins and Orchestra, K. 190/186E (1774)

Still my choice for the eeriest no. 1 single. A teenage love song inspired by the words on a father's gravestone after he commits suicide. Also the fact that Spector's father killed himself in 1949 in NY and the Teddy Bears released the song in LA in 1958, so Spector must have had the words rattling around in his head for all those years...and suddenly he turns it into a song of teenage angst amid the California sunshine.
