You could remove the title condition from the inner SONGS select, limiting your conditions to artist and genre; an index on column [artist] would make this subquery run quickly:
( select id_song from SONG where genre_id = 0 AND artist = 'Las ketchup' // AND title >= 'Asereje(karaoke version)' // --> moved to outer select > ) as MYSONGS The goal is to produce small inner subsets using indexes, and then to join these with each other, and to let the inner subsets expose the necessary columns to the outer query.
