Type these words into the search bar on youriTunes MP3 player of choice (which should be Media Monkey) and list the first song that appears in the results.
NotesMy default sort is by title, so this isn't nearly as random as it could have been. (Or perhaps more so: say if default sort was 'genre' ... that could skew the results quite a bit. I also specified 'title' as the search field, least we get results by The Happy Schnaps Combo and other other artist word matches. I've also noted the number of tracks returned by each term.

So I just downloaded MediaMonkey and figured I'd give it a try. I'm a little worried that I'll get lost in updating tags that I don't have time for, but it does seem like it could be a useful program.
The best part so far, though, is finding some funny tags that I've never noticed before. For instance. I have several songs whose genre is listed as, and I quote, "best fuckin' band ever".
