> [@DooWahDiddy](#): > > But the OP is looking for songs performed by _other_ bands. I still don’t get it, though; basically I could name any song with the word “electric” in it and it would fit Electric Light Orchestra? Or any song with the word “light” in it, for that matter? We would be here a very long time. Now _I’m_ confused. My understanding is that the name of the song (not any lyrics) has to contain the name of a band within it. The band doing the song cannot be otherwise related to the band that is named. Edit: Re-reading the OP, only the third example given would properly qualify. ---
