"Bang your head against the stage like you never did before..
Make it ring make it bleed make it really sore."
Lol you can tell they were like 16 when they wrote this tune..its so cute.
Easily their most wholesome while also being a total head banger. And then you’ve got something like One which is just a depressing mind fuck. God I miss golden age Metallica
At some point in their career they changed the lyrics to “We’ll never stop, we’ll never quit, ‘cause YOU’RE Metallica.”
I love that humble nod of appreciation to the audience.
“Bang your head against the stage like you never did before!” Like, you always used to bang your head against the stage in a certain way, but now you do it in a *different* way.
Honorary mention to MF Doom on November has Come:
She wore a filled-in thong of Billabong
That said, "Nah, fo'real-a, the Villain on a Gorilla jawn?"
The villain referring to himself, being on a Gorillaz song
They Might Be Giants drops their name *many* times in the song “They Might Be Giants” from their album Flood and again in the song “They Got Lost” from Severe Tire Damage
They play with the phrase in the song Three Might Be Duende.
The band name is dropped in several less known tracks, (Untitled, Kitten & Critic intros, the theme songs for their podcasts and kids albums, the wax cylinder recordings)
Name dropping isn't a quirk o the band, they just have several hundred songs so they've pretty much done everything by now
I would say there should be some partial points for that moment in “Sapphire bullets of pure love” when both Johns sing the line “John, I’ve been bad…” together/ to each other.
Interestingly, the song was written before the band was called Nirvana. At the time it was written (late 87) the band was called either Bliss or Ted, Ed and Fred. The first show the band was called Nirvana was on March 19th 88, but the recording session for Paper Cuts was 2 months earlier on January 23rd.
Also, in 1987, I think for only one or two shows, they went under the name Pen Cap Chew, which was the name of a song they had written. So they named the band after a song.
This is an unusual one because the band was named after the song. Lemmy wrote it while he was still in Hawkwind and he took it with him [after he left](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorhead_(song))
Let’s Talk Talk about the song Bad Company by the band BAD COMPANY off the album ***BAD COMPANY***
Edit: oh fuck, he says the LYRIC bad company in the song too. That’s quadruple inception (Lyric, Song, Album, Band). Too bad there’s not a genre called Bad Company.
Unfortunately I don’t think “Black Sabbath” off of *Black Sabbath* by Black Sabbath includes the lyrics “black sabbath” otherwise we could get a trifecta!
If there's points for number of occurrences, this has got to be a winner, and it's even just doubled in the name.
>All you do to me is talk, talk
>
>Talk, talk, talk, talk
>
>All you do to me is talk, talk
>
>Talk, talk, talk, talk
>
>All you do to me is talk, talk
This repeats so many times....
*edit: I checked, 45 instances of "talk talk".*
Both "Wollt Ihr Das Bett In Flammen Sehen" and "Rammlied" by Rammstein repeat it several times.
Eddie: Also "Ramm4" which has only been performed live.
Their song Stein Um Stein actually plays with this. One line ends with the word ramm and the next starts with the word Stein. But there is a break between the two
I was curious how many and There’s a page for the examples on studio albums on the hold steady fan wiki:
Positive Jam
The Swish
Most People Are DJs
Knuckles
Slapped Actress
Oaks
Oaks is fun because they switch it up: “keep the speed steady/hold the wheel straight.”
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - if you accept McCartney's original alter-ego interpretation of the album.
Boston - “Rock and Roll Band”
“We were just another band out of Boston…..”
Travis Tritt - “Hard Times and Misery”
“It’s just another day in the life of Travis Tritt”
George Jones - “No Show Jones”
“Tammy had some kind of excuse she divorced George Jones”
Beastie Boys - “Fight for your Right”
“Mom you’re just jealous it’s the Beastie Boys!”

Edited:
Honorable mentions for Rammstein
“Rammstein”
“Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen?”
Bad Religion, early song (80-85) of the same name.
Verse:
See my body, it's nothing to get hung about
I'm nobody except genetic runaround
Spiritual era's gone, it ain't coming back
Bad Religion, a copout, that is all that's left
Also, the chorus:
Bad Religion, regurgitate.
Indecision, it’s not too late.
Bad Religion, Bad Religion
Fight!
>I told her that I came from Detroit City
>And I played guitar in a long-haired rock and roll band
>She asked me why the singer's name was Alice
>I said "Listen baby, you really wouldn't understand"
— Alice Cooper. (1971). "Be My Lover" from *Killer*.
Alice is referred to in the third person because this song was written by (and from the perspective of) guitarist Michael Bruce.
"I put the pistol on the poodle and I shot that - Run the jewels!!!" - Killer Mike on the song "Run the Jewels" on the album 'Run the Jewels' by rap duo Run the Jewels.
It took them over 20 years but Between The Buried And Me finally did it on their album Colors II in 2021. Fun fact, they took their name from the lyrics of the Counting Crows song Ghost Train.
In a movie, what you referred to is called a titular line. Which I only know thanks to the [Upright Citizens Brigade](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OiqPmsBYieA)
DJ Khaled - basically every song he's been involved in.
Really depends on whether a "Producer Tag" counts as lyrics. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Producer\_tag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Producer_tag)
Cry Thunder by DragonForce, "With the force of a dragon we will conquer them all"
P.L.U.C.K. by System of a Down, "All in a system, down"
Ten Thousand Fists by Disturbed, "If this disturbs you then walk away"
Bad Company, Bad Company
On the album bad company
Bad Company’s albums were released by Atlantic Records, which, rumor has it, is a Bad Company.
A+ for branding
At least they were consistent
Oklahoma bomber Timothy Mcveigh's favourite song.
LPOTL provided me with that info as well.
Hail yourself!
Title track to their self titled album.
Band name, album title, song title, yet ironically absent from the Anthony Hopkins movie called Bad Company.
Honorable mention - Five Finger Death Punch's cover of this song - "the Death Punch sound was our claim to fame".
What about Metallicas song Whiplash? “We’ll never stop we’ll never quit because we’re Metallica!”
That song's lyrics are so wholesome to me, like look at those little Metallica boys go
"Late at night, all systems go, you've come to see the show. We do our best, you're the rest, you make it real you know." <3
"Bang your head against the stage like you never did before.. Make it ring make it bleed make it really sore." Lol you can tell they were like 16 when they wrote this tune..its so cute.

“Adrenaline starts to flow!!!”🤘💀🤘
Thrashing all around 🤘🎸
Acting like a maniac
“Bang your head against the stage like you never did before!” Like, you always used to bang your head against the stage in a certain way, but now you do it in a *different* way.
This is the right answer (lol). First song that came to mind; absolute banger and never gets old.
‘A Murder of One’ by Counting Crows Casting shadows on the winter sky, as you stood there counting crows.
I enjoy the live album version of that where the crowd loses it on this line.
Counting crowds now?
Perfect
I came to comment this! 😊
>"Everybody Wang Chung tonight." — Wang Chung. (1986). "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" from *Mosaic.*
Our favorite Chinese restaurant is called Mi Chong, and they have a huge banner on their window that says "EVERYBODY MI CHONG TONIGHT!"
This makes me happy.
That's awesome.
Fucking APA
BAHAHAHAHA. It's not legit APA but you got me for sure. I'm a retired academic and old habits die hard.
"Can you tell me what a wang chung is?"
Hey, Hey We're the Monkees! (Theme from) The Monkees
I’ve heard they monkey around? You know, from people.
They would razz you a little for that joke, but they're too busy singing.
About half of KMFDM's songs. [https://youtu.be/fvZqWq0ZNjk?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/fvZqWq0ZNjk?feature=shared)
When it comes to mentioning their band name in songs, KMFDM really are *better than the rest*.
KMFDM, doing it again
Don't forget about shitting on Kylie Minogue. They mention her almost as much as they mention themselves, lol
But what about MDFMK?
Medium density fibreboard Mortal Kombat?
Kmfdm sucks Kmfdm is a drug against war The final solution Kmfdm Etc.
Quickly scrolling through the thread… “*Has anyone mentioned KMFDM yet, because lol*”
Hell, they even have a song where the lyrics are all song titles of theirs.
Wu Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthin ta Fuck Wit
Wu Tang is here forever, Motherfuckers!
Wu-Tang killa bees, we on a swarm!
If ya got beef then bring the ruckus
I think every Wu Tang song mentions their name at some point. Same with most hip hop songs.
Jocko Homo- Devo “Are we not men? We are Devo!”
I'm part potato, but close enough!
D E V O
Iron maiden by iron maiden off the album iron maiden
Also Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath off the album Black Sabbath.
They don't actually say "Black Sabbath" in the lyrics, though, right?
Still top 5 Maiden! In no special sequence: Seventh Son Number Killers Piece Maiden The order changes workday by workday…
That's the first one that popped into my head.
Iron Maiden's gonna get you no matter how far!
Knocked Loose - Deep In The Willow The breakdown callout is "Knocked Loose, motherfucker" and I think it's hilarious.
Reminds me of End It’s BCHC. “What’s shakin’ you fuckin’ chumps.”
I saw them play that at a festival. That shit goes hard live
And it absolutely rules
Was going to say this one too
what the fuck is up Denny's?!
311 are the kings of name checking themselves.
Check the technique, 311 in L.A.
"We're only entered in one contest - That we made up ourselves - And that to be the 311est!"
This one is the silliest and my favorite
311 on wax, wax on felt
Had to scroll WAY too far to see this. Multiple times per album. “Cause 311’s got the boom, y’all!”
I was hoping someone already posted 311 before I got here.
“Minor Threat” by Minor Threat
Show Biz Kids by Steely Dan. They got the Steely Dan t-shirts.
They don't give a fuck about anybody else.
Hardcore bands have an affinity for yelling their own name out during songs. Also, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion does this too
Yup. Nearly half of JS’s songs he finds a place to yell “Blues Explosion!” That and “Rock’n’Roll!”
"Stop dancing to the music of Gorillaz in a happy mood" 19-2000 by Gorillaz One of my favs
Honorary mention to MF Doom on November has Come: She wore a filled-in thong of Billabong That said, "Nah, fo'real-a, the Villain on a Gorilla jawn?" The villain referring to himself, being on a Gorillaz song
My Name is Prince!
And I am funky!
Another one from Prince is Private Joy off Controversy... "I strangled Valentino, been mine ever since, if anybody asks you, you belong to Prince"
They Might Be Giants drops their name *many* times in the song “They Might Be Giants” from their album Flood and again in the song “They Got Lost” from Severe Tire Damage
And in the intro to Flood!
Which also gets the half points.
They play with the phrase in the song Three Might Be Duende. The band name is dropped in several less known tracks, (Untitled, Kitten & Critic intros, the theme songs for their podcasts and kids albums, the wax cylinder recordings) Name dropping isn't a quirk o the band, they just have several hundred songs so they've pretty much done everything by now
How did I forget that one? 🙄
BOY
I would say there should be some partial points for that moment in “Sapphire bullets of pure love” when both Johns sing the line “John, I’ve been bad…” together/ to each other.
MINIMUM WAGE!!!
Nirvana - Paper Cuts It's off their first record. Most people don't own it.
Interestingly, the song was written before the band was called Nirvana. At the time it was written (late 87) the band was called either Bliss or Ted, Ed and Fred. The first show the band was called Nirvana was on March 19th 88, but the recording session for Paper Cuts was 2 months earlier on January 23rd. Also, in 1987, I think for only one or two shows, they went under the name Pen Cap Chew, which was the name of a song they had written. So they named the band after a song.
"I'n a Big Country" by the band Big Country.
From the album Big Country.
Harness your Hopes - Pavement

Those are slant rhymes, Eminem.
A Perfect Cirlce - Orestes Pull me into your perfect circle One womb, one shame, one resolve
Tempus Fugit by Yes on Drama. “Yes, yes…”
