I have a few tracks that, for some strange reason, show up as 5 separate albums in cover flow even though they are on the same album. Everything is the same except the song name.
Anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

Tracks are quite often added by normal people like you and I. Some may have extra spaces in the album name, differing details in the composer field, or sometimes totally different fields you can't even see on a standard view.Select the range of songs in iTunes, and right click, get info, then put a tick in all the boxes that are album specific, leaving out things like track number and song name obviously, and make sure the details are correct, then when you OK this, it should then see it as 1 album.

Make sure that you have the same "album artist" tag for the songs.There have been some reports that coverflow is confused by compilations or various artist songs, at least on the classic, not sure about the touch.

Thanks! I'll try that.
