Authorizing a particular song in iTunes doesn't work!

I am prompted to authorize a particular song in a playlist. I do so. iTunes goes to the next song and plays. But I go back to the unauthorized song I just authouized and I'm prompted to authorizit again. Any suggestions?

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. Backup and then delete the tracks that won't play from your library without hiding from your purchase history. Redownload using the cloud links that should remain, or close iTunes and reopen if they don't show up straight away. While downloading click the activity widget and turn off the option that allows for simultaneous downloads.
