Google have a hardcoded exception for the band "the the".

SiriusXM truncates a "The" prefix from artist names (so "The Cure" and "The Who" become "Cure" and "Who"). I always wondered how it would display The The. Would it be "The The" (special case), "The" (default removal of "The"), or an empty string "" (in the unlikely case the algorithm recursively removed "The" prefixes)? Eventually they played a The The song and the answer is "The The".

I always liked to imagine filing "The The" under "The, The".

Of course the right way of filing them is autobiographically... (I went to see the Infected tour with Louise, so they're filed under "L"...)
