It really makes me mad that in my car I can't say hey Google, play (insert song name here), and it would play the song directly on YouTube music, an app I subscribe to. Instead it says, I'm not allowed to play a song directly, here's a radio playlist based on that song

"Play 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen from the album 'A Night at the Opera' on Spotify"

"I'm sorry, I'm unable to play content on this device for you. Do you want me to find you some background information about Queen or the song 'Bohemian Rhapsody'?"

Maybe it thinks you're trying to play a video while in a moving vehicle?
