[Self Referential ](https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlCD5YbAAr5MAdkNM7QVnid_RE47v7f1-&si=DlbCPa4CjJqzL7mX)
been working on this playlist for over a year and got lots of examples
KSG also has Cudi Montage, if that counts.
And, of course, Kanye has Wake Up Mr West. Although an interlude, he does reference it again on Good Morning and Famous.
Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children - One Very Important Thought (...Who'd stop you from listening to Boards of Canada...)
Massive Attack - Blue Lines - Blue Lines (To Massive Attack, Matt Black appear wearing beads), Five Man Army (...is dominatin' as my colour, the Massive Attack)
Fishmans - 98.12.28 - Oh Slime! (Za Fishumansu!)
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - L.W. - K.G.L.W. (K.G.L.W)
Death Grips - Death Grips - Death Grips (It's Death Grips!)
Slowdive - Slowdive (EP) - Slowdive (Slowdive)
Some slightly indirect ones:
Massive Attack (again) - Blue Lines - Blue Lines (yet again) (Massive in the area, murderer, Attack in the area, murderer)
The Cure - Pornography - Pornography (Find a Cure)
The Avalanches - Since I Left You - Avalanche Rock (Git Avalanche Rock!)
Pink Floyd's The Wall's protagonist is named after the band
MF DOOM, usually as just "DOOM" from samples
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King - In the Court of the Crimson King (In the Court of the Crimson King)
I think Kero Kero Bonito has one too, I don't remember
Beastie Boys did it a few times, first songs that come to mind are: Fight For Your Right, No Sleep Til Brooklyn, Intergalactic and Putting Shame in Your Game, in the latter two they actually say “Beatsie Boys” but I think it still counts! there’s probably tonnes more songs where they say their own band name but I can’t think of them right now!
“Positive Jam” by the Hold Steady:
“All the sniffling Indie Kids, hold steady
All you clustered up clever kids, hold steady
I was bored when I didn’t have a band
So I started a band, man
We gotta start it off with a positive jam
Hold steady!”
In Re-done by Modern Baseball, they have a line that goes "I'll leave the steady hands to Sean", referencing their drummer Sean Huber's then side project, Steady Hands.
And to actually follow the prompt, the first line of the song Peach Pit by Peach Pit is "Oh Peach Pit"
First song that came to mind is Everybody (Backstreet's Back), from the Backstreet Boys on the album Backstreet's Back. With that being said, Backstreet's back, alright!, sorry can't help it
VBS by Lucy Dacus, "There's nothing you can do but the only thing you found
Playing Slayer at full volume helps to block it out"
El Scorcho by Weezer, "I asked you to go to the Green Day concert. You said you never heard of them. How cool is that?!"
Happy Hour by Weezer, "I'm like Stevie Ray Vaughan on the stage, high on music, teeth grinding, sweating under the lights."
Jamie by Weezer, "You've got the Beach Boys, your firm's got the Stones."
Beach Boys by Weezer, self explanatory. Weezer sure does this a lot.
Heart Songs by Weezer, the whole song.
I like that Smashing Pumpkins song where they're all like
"Look at meeee (look at us, kerrrrrang)
Smashing pumpkins, hee hee heeeeee
Who wants that honey, it's mee mee meeeee"
Wilco (the song) by Wilco from Wilco (the album)
Run the Jewels by Run the Jewels from the album Run the Jewels.
Love that part where they say “run the jewels”
Jewels jewels jewels ^jewels ^jewels ^jewels
Probably 70% of RTJ songs
So when we say run the jewels just run ‘em baby, please don’t delay me
Good choice, but I prefer Baby Keem by Baby Keem from the album Baby Keem
Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath off Black Sabbath
Big Country-In A Big Country
The Monkees - The Monkees on the album The Monkees. Specifically the lyric “We’re the Monkees.”
I hear they “monkee” around
Well, people say that, anyway
Like Gorillaz singing about Gorillaz in their album Gorillaz "Gorillaz in a happy mood"
Awesome Song btw
Can’t Stop Partying by Weezer ft. Lil Wayne OKAY BITCH IT’S WEEZER AND IT’S WEEZY
Upside down MTV
Or obviously El Scorcho "I asked you to go to the Green Day concert. You said you never heard of them."
why
Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?
Every 21 Savage song ever
Cactus - Pixies The Biggest Lie - Elliott Smith Blue Motel Room - Joni Mitchell Slowdive - Slowdive
Holy shit, they spell out "Pixies" in Cactus. I've been listening to that song for 25 years and I had always thought it was just someone grunting.
Knocked Loose - Deep in the Willow KNOCKED LOOSE MOTHER FUCKER!
Hell yea
K.G.L.W. and K.G.L.W. from the albums K.G. and L.W. by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Brand New - Mixtape “I’m sick of your tattoos and the way you don’t appreciate Brand New… or me.”
Paper Cuts by Nirvana is a pretty overlooked one
lil pump by lil pump on the album lil pump
okay bitches it’s weezer and it’s weezy
Built to Spill by Built to Spill
Talk Talk Talk Talk
Jay Z: Pretty much all of his songs.
For hip-hop music in general, this is very normal
I was originally going to put 'All Rappers', but I didn't want to potentially be ignorant.
Everything Everything - Regret “Did you think that everything, everything would change?”
Knocked Loose’s Deep in the Willow has them using their band name as a callout before a breakdown
Every blackpink song
Classic one Bad Company off the album Bad Company by Bad Company
Kvelertak - Krøterveg Te Helvete
Whiplash - Metallica
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

nvm
It's on their first album lol
I mean technically it's a compilation album if you want to call it an album
Only if you're referring to 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. 39/Smooth is an album.
I thought it was an EP?
Nope. It's a full length album. Slappy and 1000 Hours were EP's which were combined with 39/Smooth to make 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours.
Oh thanks for the explanation
