Q: Song plays on itunes, not on iphone

I have one song that I've been trying to sync to my phone, it will play on my itunes library on my computer, but when I try to transfer it to my phone, it shows up on my "phone" list on my computer with a next to the song. It's not in the general library, just where it's listed on the phone. How can I get it on my phone?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1

    I had this problem with a purchased track that when syncing iTunes said was corrupt! After several failed attempts to sync I just downloaded it straight from iTunes to my iPhone.
    But if it's a tune off media that you own and haven't purchased from iTunes this obviously won't work. I don't use iCloud for my music as I have too much music I've loaded from purchased CDs or digitized from vinyl. Sorry if your track falls into this category.
