iTunes will repeatedly asks me to authorize to play certain songs

I just purchased an album from iTunes (Hall & Oates, if you must know), and some of the songs will not play. Every time I try I get a message telling me I am not authorized, then I authorized, then we go through the whole thing again.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (check this with iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4158297?answerId=19097773022#19097773022, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.
