Did The Zombies ever do a song called “Zombie Thread”? 'Cause that’d be apropos right about now.
“King of Spain” ends with the line: “And now I’m jamming with Moxy Früvous.”
*** Ponder
The title of John Fogerty’s 2007 album, Revival, was a shoutback to his old band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, as was a track from that album, “Creedence Song.”
The Pipettes: “We are the Pipettes.”
“And my first name ain’t baby. It’s Janet. Miss Jackson if you’re nasty.” -Nasty Boys
And as anyone who has ever rapped at lunch time in the high school cafeteria can tell you, the generic way to start a rap back in the 80s was “Well, my name is _______ …”
So the limit of rappers who namecheck themselves in their songs as x approaches the number of rappers in existence is equal to the number of rappers in existence.

How many of you went to the hospital?
Sweet Zombie Jesus! I never even noticed.
In his song “Shut Up,” Joe Walsh mentions a caller who asks him, “How’s Don Henley? How’s Glenn Frey?”. two of his band mates from the Eagles.
Also, KLF. The KLF, uhunh, uhunh…the KLF…

Wilco (the song) off of Wilco’s new album Wilco (the album)
I have The Prom King’s self-titled album. The songs “Alone,” “Bleeding,” “Angel” and “The One” are the only songs that don’t include the band’s name in the lyrics. Not coincidentally, these are also the only four songs worth listening to.
And let’s not forget Captain Kool and the Kongs!
The Ramones sang R.A.M.O.N.E.S, though to be fair, they were covering a Motorhead song…
Does History Lesson Part II by The Minutemen count?
“Me and Mike Watt playing guitar.”
Hah! I was just listening to Murder of One by Counting Crows, and thinking I should make a playlist where the band’s name is mentioned in their own song. I also love it when the title of a movie or tv series or episode within itself.
White Zombie has the song “Die Zombie Die”. Rather apropos for this thread.
**Peter Gabriel **covered **Vampire Weekend’s **Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa, which features the line:
