Alexa and google home have been excellent for discovering new music. You ask them for a song you know and they play either a very weird cover version or something entirely different.
(Seriously -- there's a song with the title "The ABC Song", which as one might expect, is about the ABCs. But it's impossible to get it to play that via voice control; it only wants to play "abcdefu", which is not the same song at all, and has a very clear F-bomb 5 seconds in.)
Maybe this is why some people are so good at the intro round at pub quizzes, you've got a few seconds to identify the exact song that's playing and mentally run through the lyrics before making a call.
If it gave you an answer that seemed wrong, well, there are also several slightly different definitions of week number, so it could be that it chose one that wasn't the one you expected (maybe also a localization failure).
Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch?
It regularly picks up an entirely bizarre song, however in doing so it's also found some bangers. My kid loves diggy-diggy hole and it played the wind rose version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34CZjsEI1yU) which is awesome.
I asked for I wanna be like you for the kids and got the expected one a few times. Then one time it returned the triple J version by the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD0VpmaSBjs) which became the new version for running around the room pretending to be a rollercoaster.
These are covers at least, but it will also just play the weirdest mishearings of something.
So semi-serious as I'm mocking it getting things wildly wrong, but also legitimately we discover new music this way.
