Can't you just type it out in title case?
Or you could use a class attribute on the td or cite tag and use CSS
to style it with the text-transform property like this:

HTML code:
<td class="title"><cite>song title</cite></td>

CSS code:
td.title {
text-transform: capitalize;
}

that would display the text to the browser like this: Song Title

Otherwise if the text is getting pasted in or something you could do a
transformation on it, see:

Hope that helps!
