Mama Said

I wanted to play “Mama Said” by the Shirelles.
“Alexa, play Mama Said”
Random song. Not Mama Said.
“Alexa, play Mama Said”
Nope.
“Alexa, play Mama Said There’d be Days Like This”
Nope nope nope.
“OK Google, Play Mama Said.”
Bingo!
When I wanted to repeat, I forgot I had asked Google.
“Alexa, Play Again.”
Fortunately, not supported.
Ah! “Alexa, Play Mama Said by the Shirelles”
OK, its working.
There seems to be some room for improvement with Alexa and music… there seems to be little if any weight applied to the popularity of a song when slot filling.
