You have an unknown brain condition-you are a musician-you can play ONE SONG (any song) perfectly-what song would it be?
Mine: Mick Box's Guitar on Magicians Birthday (U.Heep)
or Steve Hackett's Guitar on Everday.

Hmm, tough one. Maybe Steve Howe on "To be over", or Keith Emerson on
"Take a pebble" (live version from Welcome back my friends...). I love
to sit down at a pub piano and bash that one out!

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Hmm, good topic. If i were a:
Guitarist: I'd love to be able to master Frippertronics, that or Roine Stolt's soloing on The Flower King's epic "Big Puzzle".
Bassist: The lines from "Fracture" by King Crimson or the lines from "De Futura" by Magma....Or "The Fish".
Drummer: Frank Zappa's "Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?" (drums and percussion simultaneously  ), "Ticks & Leeches" by Tool or of course "O'Baterista".
Keyboard/Related: The organist from Crazy World Of Arthur Brown is a bit good (all their first album as great playing), or to perfect "Tarkus".
Flute: Nothing is better then a good flute solo! "Arborescene" by Ozric Tentacles, "I Talk To The Wind" by King Crimson or Jethro Tull's "Cross-Eyed Mary" are all great.

Always had dreams I could play two songs.....very odd, but I have never tried to play either of them!
Funeral for a friend - Elton John -the piano !!
Dance on a volcano - Genesis - the guitar/taurus pedal parts Mike Rutherford plays..

Its gotta be the guitar part from La Villa, Exit...Stage Left version.
I figure if I could play that solo like that, chicks might dig me 
Not prog, but I always wanted to play slide well enough to pull off Led Zep's In My Time Of Dying.
One song that I HAVE actually been working on for about 10 years now is
DiMeola's Egyptian Danza. I've almost got it sounding recognizable now!

Why are you asking me? How should I know?
Anyway, as to the original question, I would be a multi-instrumentalist (keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and vocals - I'd let someone else play flute just to be generous) and be able to play Supper's Ready. Oh yeah!!!!
