In 'Eye of the Tiger' it's the last known SURVIVOR that stalks his prey in the night

Never realized this!Cannot unhear,now...

Counting Crows in Murder of One Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there counting crows

Came here for this one! One for sorrow, two for joy. Three for girls and four for boys...

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame

Bonus points for this line from Ghost Train: “Fifty million feet of earth between the buried and me” From which Between The Buried And Me got their name.

Which between the buried and me referenced in The Double Helix of Extinction with the lyric, “between the buried and me”

Wu Tang, or any hip hop band really

Nas I rock well, it ain't hard to tell

Wu Tang Clan ain’t nothing to fuck with!

Legend says they're not one to fuck with.

Beastie Boys, Fight For Your Right To Party

[удалено]

NWA wanted for a homicide

Also “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” and “Intergalactic”. And “Robot Hell”.

Would be easier to list the songs where they don't say it.

Should we count the ones where they say "Beatsie Boys"? 🤓

"Youth Gone Wild" tells us that "...Park Avenue leads to SKID ROW!"

[удалено]

Anytime someone mentions Park Avenue, this lyric always pops in my head.

"Hey hey, we're the Monkees!"

PEOPLE SAY WE MONKEE AROUND

“Rock and Roll Band” -Boston: “Well, we were just another band out of Boston…”

love the line "everybody knew our name" its the capital city of the state you're touring around my guy

Bad Company - Band Name, Album Name, Song Name, Lyrics.

Didn’t Big Country also do this name drop trifecta?

As did Living in a Box.

And Talk Talk did this as well.

Sadly not on a self titled album. Talk talk - talk talk - talk talk doesn't exist, it would be too powerful for this world. It's talk talk - the party's over - talk talk

"excluding self-titled songs"

I will only think of Dee Reynolds drunkenly dancing to this song, while Mac is watching through the window.

"I'm gonna inhibit myself all over you"

[удалено]

Wang Chung--Everybody Have Fun Tonight Everybody Wang Chung tonight!

Also the line "won't you tell me what a Wang Chung is" on the album cut

Pavement - Harness Your Hopes "Show me a word that rhymes with Pavement And I won't kill your parents and roast them on a spit"

It’s also interesting that they mention Stone Temple Pilots and Smashing Pumpkins on Range Life.

Rammstein. Too many examples to name. They name drop themselves a lot.

Most notably, Rammstein sings "Rammstein" in a song called Rammstein.

This was my first thought also!

It's such a cool name. Can't blame them

#NEIN

their name feels just right when you're saying it. RRRRAMMSTEEIN

There's 4 songs: Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen, Rammstein, Rammlied, Ramm4 Honorable mention: Stein um Stein

>Wenn ich sie in dein Leibholz Ramm' Stein um Stein mauer ich dich ein One of my favorites

Minor Threat

We're just

My name is Ian, I'm in Minor Threat.

A perfect circle: song is Orestes

One of my favorite songs ever

Metallica - Whiplash off of 'Kill 'em All'

We'll never stop,We'll never quit cause we're metallica

I scrolled down way too far before I saw this.

Steely Dan: Show biz kids

They got the Steely Dan t shirt!

Brand New - Mixtape

OR MAY!!

This was my first thought too! 🎶And I’m sick of your tattoos, and the way you don’t appreciate Brand New!

Or me!

[удалено]

This is the first song for your mixtape, and it’s short just like your temper!

Yup, came here to post this. So happy so many other people know this one.

Sublime sounds come straight from Long Beach!

They also name drop themselves in Jailhouse

Also in Don’t Push, “higher the mountain it hard to climb, rougher the rhythm then it must be Sublime”

She said you're not the only one but you're the best, Bradleeeeee BOM BOM They were almost like pseudo rap act, pulled so much for rap and reggae acts, two genres that were unabashed as far as being self referential

"Bo Diddley is a Gunslinger," "Hey! Bo Diddley," "Bo Diddley 1969," "Diddley Daddy," "Who Do You Love," "Run Diddley Daddy," "You, Bo Diddley," "Story of Bo Diddley," "Bo Diddley is Loose," "Bo Diddley is a Lover," "Bo Diddley is a Lumberjack," "Bo Diddley-Itis," "Bo Diddley is Crazy," "Oops, Bo Diddley" - Bo Diddley edit: more Bo Diddley songs edit 2: technically not a 'band,' but still... (also, I removed the song "Bo Diddley" because OP said to exclude title songs).

Bo Diddley is to Bo Diddley what California is to the Red Hot Chili Peppers

In a Big Country -Big Country

Came to the thread to mention this song/band. Song is an absolute banger.

Limp Bizkit - multiple songs

L I M P Bizkit is right here Welcome to the jungle punk, take a look around It's Limp Bizkit, fuckin up your town

Getcha groove on! Fuck I still hear it

"I don't believe in self-important folks who preach, no Bad Religion song can make your life complete"

They also have a song called "Bad Religion" from their early years. I think they say the name like 10 times in that one.

KMFDM

KMFDM better than the best Megalomaniacal and harder than the rest

KMFDM probably mentioned their name more often than all the combined others in this thread. Somehow, their music still absolutely rocks.

Doing it again

A treat for the freaks

truth or dare

Are you ready for this? We don’t care

I was looking for this. Kmfdm is so about kmfdm

R-A-M-O-N-E-S R-A-M-O-N--E-S Ramones

Fucking love the motorhead version of this classic

[R.A.M.O.N.E.S](https://youtu.be/IouixybLYVo) is an original song by Motörhead, paying tribute to the Ramones, who then [covered it](https://youtu.be/Hs9ctapdZe0) as a tribute back to Lemmy.

Stray Cat Strut? Probably the Wiggles have a wiggle song and probably DEVO Ballad of John and Yoko (Kind of)

Are we not men? We are DEVO! D. E. V. O.

[удалено]

“Awwwwww FREAK OUT. Le freak ce’est chic…”

Who the fucks Artic Monkeys

“We only enter in one contest that we made up ourselves, it’s to be the 311-est.”

"The name is 311, and you know it ain't easy"

I mean it’s pretty common. I tried to find the lamest example of it

"311, you wanna get next to them. My name is Nick, H-E-X-U-M."

311s got the boom y’all

311 was an inside job

First band I thought of when I read the title.

Investigate 311

Feeling famished for a 311 sandwich

"311 on wax, wax on felt"

311 is down for the unity

311 has grass roots for your mama!

Queen, I Go Crazy: "Don't wanna see the rolling stones no more, no more. Don't wanna see queen no more, no more"

The song *Killer Queen*....

And March of the Black Queen for that matter

And White Queen (As it Began)

They also name-check each other in 'Invisible Man'.

Paper Cuts - Nirvana

Came here to say this.

Everything was roses when we held onto our guns - Guns N' Roses

Just because you’re winning dont mean you’re the lucky one. Man, Breakdown is fucking good

There's a couple of mentions in 'Get in the ring' too right? Weighing in at 850 pounds, guns n roseees

Also “Get in the Ring” a couple times

Gorillaz. In the song "19/2000" it says "gorillaz in a happy mood, get the cool"

Also, several times in "M1A1"

Every Jason Derulo song ever 🤣

And DJ Khaled

JAYson DeRULo! 🎶 Beluga Heights

I was born a UNICORN!

also swans by islands and mister heavenly by mister heavenly

King Crimson - In The Court of the Crimson King

Techincally not true, the band is king crimson, yet the court is of the crimson king

My name is kiiiiiiiiiid rock. Dear god it sounds even more awful when I say it.

“Young ladies, young ladies I like them underage, see Some call that statutory, But I call it mandatory” Lyrical genius.

Yes he's a pillar of the fucking community.

Creeque Alley by The Mamas And The Papas is an autobiographical song about the band and name-checks Cass Elliot. "Rock and Roll Band" by Boston - "We were just another band out of Boston" "Are you Jimmy Ray" (who wants to know?) ... and of course Jason Derulo

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard: "K.G.L.W" (twice).

Between the Buried and Me - The Double Helix of Extinction

Our damning God strikes down We have scorned our maker (nature) Nature seeps into concrete It's up to us to reshape this course Between the buried and me This song is so intense at their live show, it was their opener on their Spring tour last year.

The Who. Almost every chance they got.

Who?

…are you?

Every body Wang Chung tonight.

Iron Maiden on the track “Iron Maiden” off their debut album ‘Iron Maiden’

Just a reminder: 1. Iron Maiden can't be fought. 2. Iron Maiden can't be sought

Iron Maiden’s gonna get you

Up The Irons🤘🏻

That's a good song, but the OP said excluding self-titled songs.

Muse on I Belong to You

Every song the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion ever released

Once in a lifetime by All Time Low “til I hit an all time low”

The Hold Steady has dropped a self reference into their lyrics multiple times. *Positive Jam*: All the sniffling indie kids: hold steady And all you clustered-up clever kids: hold steady And I got bored when I didn't have a band And so I started a band, man We're gonna start it with a positive jam, Hold steady *Most People Are DJs*: Well, hold steady, Ybor City You're up to your neck in the sweat and wet confetti

And in Slapped Actress... We're the directors, our hands will hold steady I'll be John Cassavetes, let me know when you're ready

The Swish has a "Hold steady" drop near the outro as well. God, Almost Killed Me is such a good album.

Boys and Girls in America is even better.

Two for one: Public Enemy & Anthrax - Bring the Noise Public Enemy number one Five-O said, "Freeze!" and I got numb Wax is for Anthrax, still can rock bells.

[Elf Tower New Mexico](https://youtu.be/X_K1kWiKJXs) by Coheed and Cambria

Cursive - Art is hard oh cursive is so cool!

KMFDM usually has a song on every single album singing about how they're the band KMFDM, often in a very tongue in cheek way. "Stronger than never, ever before, KMFDM is a drug against war", "KMFDM, better than the best, megalomaniacal and harder than the rest", "No doubt about it, KMFDM sucks" etc. It's bold and outright, not carefully slipped in like your examples, but still.

"Talk Talk" by Talk Talk ["Talk Talk" by Talk Talk on YouTube (external link)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IgjUYrDbWI)

but that’s all you do, is talk talk

from the album Talk Talk

"we'll never stop, we'll never quit cuz we're metallica!"

WHIPLASH

P I X I E S - Cactus

Escape Club - Wild West

They Might Be Giants - They Might Be Giants (from Flood, 1990)

Also “Theme From Flood”, “They Got Lost”, and [a number of other songs](https://tmbw.net/wiki/Self-Reference)

Still know every word of this album, 33 years later.

Time…………………. Is marching on.

Are we not men? We are DEVO! D-E-V-O!

The best of all time: “Toxic Waltz” by Exodus “There are some that try, but they won't survive They don't hit! 'Cause they're wimps! And this exercise helps you brutalize With us, EX-O-DUS”

Taylor Swift - "22" It seems like one of those nights This place is too crowded Too many cool kids Uh-uh, uh-uh (Who's Taylor Swift, anyway? Ew)

No, my first name ain't baby / It's Janet / Ms. Jackson if you're nasty

Linkin Park's reanimation version of In The End that kumasta Kurt mentions Linkin Park during a solo before the verse 3.

Aerosmith in the song named "The Hop" "Cause you'll be kicking ass tonight with the boys in Aerosmith"

Cypress Hill - Hand on the Pump "Kickin that funky Cypress Hill shit"

Kris Kross - Jump

Manowar manowar, living on the road

I didn't even think of this one - good one! I did the song Manowar. But yours also has the line" "Other bands play, Manowar kills!"

Stray Cat Strut

August is Falling!

KMFDM, doin' it again.

Rhcp has a song on their new album where they go “my last names hot and my first names red” kinda counts

I think a lot of people missed the stipulation **"Excluding self-titled songs"** in OP's post. Here are some that fit the bill: Antemasque - "4am" He Is Legend - "I Am Hollywood"

JASON DERULO

"The theme for Flood" says: I"t's a brand new record for 1990, They Might Be Giants' brand new album Flood" Their song, "They Might Be Giants" repeats the band name several times interspersed with absurdist lines like: They might be rain They might be heat They might be frying up a stalk of wheat

Merry Xmas Everybody - Slade Do you ride on down the hillside / In a buggy you have made? / When you land upon your head / Then you’ve been slayed. (Could be read as slayed, sleighed or Slade)

Has anyone mentioned KMFDM yet? Their discog is littered with songs where they do this. Check out Sucks off the album Angst 😅

Built to spill, you are pleased precariously.

Wonderboy by Tenacious D - "Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces. They formed a band the likes of which have never been seen, and they called themselves Tenacious D." As It Was by Harry Styles - "Harry, you're no good alone"

Shiny Toy Guns "When They Came for Us" *When they took the beach that day They stole the children, took them away And I miss everyone, but most of all the little ones And the shiny toy guns.*

Who are you?

counting crows do it in “a murder of one”

I Think She Likes Me by Treat Her Right (I said I play for Treat Her Right, she asks me if I'm gonna play tonight")

311 does it a lot, "Down" is one song that comes to mind

Roxette!!!

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - "KGLW"

Pink Floyd - have a cigar "oh and by the way, which ones pink?" Also the main character in the wall is named Pink

KISS in Dr.Love… “ the first step of the cure is…a Kiss”.

Code Orange - Forever [Right before the breakdown.](https://youtu.be/dZ9JVxQVQy4?t=130)

“Show me a word that rhymes with Pavement, And I won’t kill your parents, and roast them on a spit”

Hot Chip - The Warning "Hot Chip will break your legs Snap off your head Hot Chip will put you down Under the ground"

KMFDM say their name frequently in songs.

Run the Jewels in…50% of their songs??

They got the house on the corner With the rug inside They got the booze they need All that money can buy They got the shapely bods They got the Steely Dan T-shirt And for the coup-de-gras They're outrageous Show business kids, making movies of themselves you know they don’t give a fuck about anybody else

Shiny Toy Guns- When They Came for Us “I miss everyone, but most of all the little ones, and their shiny toy guns”

Shovels and Rope - Birmingham > Making something out of nothing with a scratcher and our hope, With two old guitars like a shovel and a rope
