Why doesn't my iTunes Genius have data for "Mas Que Nada" by "Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66"? Is this really such a rare song or is it just for me that Genius doesn't have data for it?

Do you have this song in your iTunes Library?

This song was performed by Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66.

Also, Elza Soares has a version.

Also, Sergio Mendes much more recently recorded it with the Black Eyed Peas.

I have all three versions but I don't mess with the iTunes Genius, sorry.

(There's so many esses in this post that I feel should be zees. Hmph.)

The Genius also doesn't have info for Mae's new song "Somewhere."

Possibly because it’s actually called Mais que Nada? It’s Portuguese, not Spanish?

Méndez, Soárez, Brazil, Black Eyed Peaz, and … iTunez Geniuz?

I should think so!
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

It's called "Mas que nada" without an i according to both the cover and Wikipedia. The iTunes store had it tagged wrong for the song, but correctly for the EP name. I corrected it, but it doesn't help with the Genius.



I would have thought this is a popular song, so it sure should be covered by the Genius, but I guess not.

How odd. I’d never heard the expression mas que nada in Portuguese (though Wikipedia claims it’s real) and had always seen it as mais que nada (which makes more sense in the context of the lyrics, too). I guess that’ll learn me to do my homework proper!

No idea why the Genius doesn’t have it, though.
