Name		Song Name		Comments		Submittor Name
Berlin		Dancing In Berlin		I wouldn't exactly call it a "vanity song". But it obviously mentions the city of Berlin Germany from which the band took its name (even though the band itself is not actually from there).		Edward
Blue Tears		Blue Tears		From the band's eponymous 1990 debut album. Rest in peace, Gregg Fulkerson!		Joey F.
Army of Lovers		My Army of Lovers		The band and their song (released in 1990) were not very well-known outside of their native Sweden.		Mike
Geggy Tah		Whoever You Are		In the 3rd verse of the song, the lyrics went "On the mic is Geggy Tah, but a whole lot more of all of ya."		Mickey D.
DNCE		DNCE		DNCE is also the name of Joe Jonas's band, first debut album, and the first track from the title album/artist of the same name. LOL		Mickey D.

Tone Loc		Loc'ed After Dark		The title track from his debut album, released in 1988. There is also another track on the album, entitled "Loc'in on the Shaw." Neither track was released as a single; only those who actually have copies of the album will know 'em.		Joe
Mr. Big		Mr. Big		This is actually a cover of a song by Free (from their 1970 album "Fire & Water"); Mr. Big the band covered it in 1993 for their album "Bump Ahead." Neither version was very popular overall.		Joe

Buck Owens and the Buckaroos		Buckaroo		Instrumental country hit from 1965.		Susan
Doris Day		It's A Lovely Day Today		Yeah, her last name appears in the title, so I figured it might count. Song was actually written by Irving Berlin circa 1950, for the musical "Call Me Madam."
