>I say, "Hey Siri, play Heigh Ho from the Cinderella Soundtrack".

It probably doesn't help that "Heigh Ho" is from Snow White

ChatGPT seems to handle this fine

> Prompt: Give me the lyrics for Heigh Ho from the Cinderella Soundtrack

> ChatGPT: "Heigh-Ho" is actually a song from the soundtrack of Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," not "Cinderella." The song is famously sung by the seven dwarfs as they head to and from their work at a mine. Here are the lyrics:

*lyrics omitted, but they seem correct

Sorry, I did actually ask for Snow White in the car! And it played a song called "Snow". Haha, reproducing it here at my desk I mistakenly said "Cinderella"
Siri: "Here's Snow (Hey Oh) by Red Hot Chili Peppers" :smacks-forehead:
There are worse songs to accidentally get! That said, I sympathize. Given how easy it is to get, say, the passenger to put on a song, it's absurd how many hoops you have to jump through with any voice assistant to get it right.

For example, I often wish I could just queue up a song to play next like I can over touch, but there's no elegant way for me to do that without picking up my phone in the car. If my wife were riding with me, all I'd have to say is "Hey play [XYZ] next", a feat yet unmatched by any voice assistant
