Although they don't apply to this thread, the following songs provide examples:
- The actual name of Chopin's "Minute Waltz" is "Waltz Of The Little Dog" (it was inspired by a dog chasing it own tail).
- The actual title of the song commonly called "Fly Me To The Moon" is "In Other Words." In this case, it is possible that the name of the song has been officially changed.
I will revise the rules to reflect this shortly.

That is going to increase the level of difficulty a bit. I've been going with the song title as printed on the album packaging or at Itunes/Amazon for downloadable songs. As noted in this early post I have run into some situations where the spelling of the song title that appears on the album differs from other covers of the same song:

It's still safe from duplication due to the rule that states a particular
song can only be used once.
Anyway, something to complicate your life while you clarify the rules!
