Q: match with wrong song

OK, so this is odd. I had loaded into iTunes from a CD. I then deleted it and downloaded it from Match. But one of the songs was replaced with the wrong song. The CD was Man Machine by Kraftwerk. But the song The Model, when matched, turns into Wouldn't it be Nice by the Beach Boys. Go figure. It still has the correct metadata - it is called 'The Model' by Kraftwerk, but the song length is reduced to the Beach Boys' song length and the Beach Boys plays when I select The Model to play. The rest of the album is correct. I've just re-imported that one song from the CD, so all is well in iTunes for that song, so no big problem. (I did a test - deleted it again then downloaded it again from match - same again: Beach Boys) But, my question is - how many of my songs have been mis-replaced like this, and how long will it be before I find out (I have 21,000 matched songs)?
