I like odd songs and I cannot lie

The iTunes installation on my work box contains 2,388 songs. There exists, of course, the question of how truly "random" a random shuffle really is, especially since the iTunes application contains a slider to change the perceived randomness. ("Random" is set at the midpoint; at the ends, "hearing sequential songs by the same artist or from the same album" are "more likely" or "less likely.") I have the slider set to one-quarter above "less likely."

None of this prepared me for this juxtaposition today: Richard Cheese's lounge-lizard take on "Baby Got Back," followed immediately by the Showmen's "39-21-46." I have to assume it's not exactly a 2387-to-1 shot — for one thing, there are two other versions of "Baby Got Back" on the premises, Sir Mix-A-Lot's original and a Jonathan Coulter cover — but still, this seems odd. Then again, earlier today the box played "Past, Present and Future" followed by "Dead Man's Curve."
