You can do that in the field processor, in the scanner:

1. Open EasyTAG, select the files that you want to modify
2. Open the scanner (View→Show Scanner in the menus)
3. Open the Process Fields tab
4. Under Character Conversions, select Convert: and put '^' in the first 
field and "Song " (removing the quotes) in the second field (the convert 
feature actually uses Perl-compatible regular expressions underneath)
5. Make sure that you only have the Title field selected in Tag Fields 
at the top of the tab
6. Click Scan Files
