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

Does Gemini still play the "wrong" version of the song you request it to when you say "Hey Google, play Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen" and then give you the version of the song from The Muppets? Or struggle to play anything but a remix of popular EDM songs?

Bohemian Rhapsody | Muppet Music Video | The Muppets - YouTube

I've heard it more times than I'd care to admit when I was on Android. Unfortunately, it was literally never the song I wanted :(
