Siri refuses to play Alabama Shakes, "Don't Wanna Fight"

I have asked Siri about seven times now to play "Don't Wanna Fight" by the Alabama Shakes. Instead, she has played songs by Alanis Morisette, Dashboard Confessional, and "The Fox" by Sleater-Kinney - this last has been played 4 times in a row instead of the correct song.


I can see the transcript, and what she is hearing is definitely "Don't Wanna Fight, by Alabama Shakes." I've reset the hidden suggestions, and still she refuses. Why does Siri hate this song? Has she spontaneously developed sentience and her own taste in music?


All sarcasm aside, this isn't the first time this has happened - I make a request, I can see she heard it correctly, but then she locks in on her own substitution. I tried to find a way to use internal error reporting that might send transcripts and a stack trace, but there's nothing on my device that I can see.
