I know not everyone of us has a special talent, but many of us do. Some are just incredible. So, what are they??

I’m incredibly quick at learning music/songs by ear, mostly singing cuz even tho I’ve played a couple instruments for… God 15 years… I still can’t fucking find a tune on them to save my life
But if I hear a song with coherant lyrics 1 or 2 times then I can repeat it from memory acapella, instrumental solos and all, with perfect accuracy on lyrics and like 95% accuracy on the notes due to my iffy singing voice
Probably related: on the fly ad-libs replacement of lyrics. Like coming up with a weird Al parody on the spot (not saying mine are as funny or anything just giving an idea). I can even make them coherent and properly rhyme for a verse or two sometimes if I’m really on a roll. Too bad I get so embarrassed in front of people that only a few have seen it IRL, but it’s always been a hit at the DND table when I needed to improv tavern singing or something
Woww! That is some Mozart level stuff
I’ve got a similar power, maybe a step lower than yours. I managed to complete and compete in higher levels of orchestra band without actually learning how to read music. I would be able to play the song after hearing it a few times. I use sheet music as an instruction (if needed) on which notes to play (this note equals this fingering on the instrument) rather than speed/tempo of the song. Applies to whistling/singing too.
And very similarly the on the fly ad-libs which makes for some funny “jokes” I can throw around with friends as I’m not very good with actual jokes.
