| Human League | Human | In 1986, this band released a song whose title consisted of half their name; it went to #1 in the U.S. | nally | |||
| Jan and Dean | Surf Santa | One of the lines in the song is, "He's got two reindeer named Jan and Dean." No kidding. | Rpollck | |||
| Little Texas | God Bless Texas | a country song...at least half the band's name appears in the title. | nally | |||
| Cobra Starship | The Church Of Hot Addiction | "You gotta get the Cobra Bless now..." :] | MoeDollaz | |||
| Cobra Starship | The Church Of Hot Addiction | "G-A-B-E gonna get you high-" Gabe Saporta is the singer. Then he sings "My light is electric," to which I say... mine is too. Ha. | MoeDollaz | |||
| Voices That Care | Voices That Care | Released in the early 1990's by Peter Cetera and David Foster. It was a documentary to help the troops in the Middle East. The group consisted of various popular entertainers and pro athletes...kinda like the mid-80s supergroups Band Aid or USA For Africa. | nally | |||
| Nas | Nas Is Coming | An example of lyrics is: Yeah yeah yo Nas it's like this man. ("Nas is coming..") And the title line is repeated much throughout. The only album I can find on which it appears is "Nas Is Coming, Album Version". Possibly performed live. It didn't get on his "Greatest Hits" album, so maybe it isn't particularly popular. | Yvonne Sindri | |||
| Simply Red | Night Nurse | "This heart is broken in two, tell her it's a case of emergency, there's a patient by the name of Mickey." Mick Hucknall is the lead singer of Simply Red. From the album titled "Blue." | Martha Hankins | |||
| Royksopp | Royksopp's Night Out | Band is actually spelled with an umlaut over the first o: Röyskopp | Mattias | |||
| Blue Oyster Cult | Blue Oyster Cult | From the album Imaginos | SteveYCS | |||
| Jennifer Lopez | Jenny From The Block | Jenny is often a shortened name for Jennifer. | nally | |||
| Paul and Paula | Hey Paula | Well, the title mentions half the band name. Their best known song, released in 1963. | nally | |||
| Adam Sandler | Chanukah Song (Part II) | In one line, Adam Sandler says "Happy Gilmore", a character played by Adam Sandler. So technically, he's talking about himself there. | Paul Warren | |||
| Steve Miller Band | Gangster of Love | Toward the end of the song, the question "Are you Guitar Stevie Miller?" is asked. This song is mentioned in "Space Cowboy" and "The Joker." | Martha Hankins | |||
| Ali Lohan, featuring Lindsay Lohan | Lohan Holiday | On Ali Lohan's Christmas CD, "Lohan Holiday". It is not performed live. It isn't very popular if the few reviews of the CD on Amazon.com are any indication. One reviewer cited the song as evidence that "Some people will buy anything". The repetitive lyrics to this song, "Let me take you on a Lohan Holiday" are rather indulgent and hokey. Plus, what if I tried to take them up on their offer to share their family's holiday? If I somehow succeeded in finding any members of the Lohan family and told them I was there to experience their holiday, wouldn't I more likely be branded a stalker than treated to the wonderfully magical Christmas that the song promises? Nonetheless, I feel rather sorry for poor young Ali and the way that it seems her first (and possibly only) CD is being so brutally trashed. This song could better be treated as a quaint misfire than as an utter abomination. And however crass it may be, some other songs on her CD aren't all that bad. And it can't be easy for her, working in the shodow of older family members, who by all accounts have done more to foul up their own lives than she possibly could have so far. We really ought to give the poor kid a chance. | Courtney Jane | |||
| Timbaland | Oh Timbaland | From Shock Value, the first track that is as yet unpopular with the mass media. And sounds like an ode to self. | Alex | |||
| Soulja Boy Tell 'Em | Crank Dat Soulja Boy | Oh, c'mon, don't we all know rappers have overly vain songs? I mean, this guy even has a dance for his alias name! | Felicia | |||
| Madness | Madness | Yes, the group best known for "Our House" and "One Step Beyond" also had a self titled song. | nally | |||
| T-Pain | Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin') | "I'm T-Pain, you know me/Konvict Music nappy boy oh wee" | flipside | |||
| Yellow Balloon | Yellow Balloon | The only song they ever recorded; the flip side of the 45 is titled "noollaB wolleY" (Yellow Balloon spelled backwards)! | crazydon |
