This is what an old colleague of mine used to call the eponymous game. Let me think - there was Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath, sweet catatonia by Catatonia.....em.... I'm sure there were others.

You can also play the heart/arse game. Take a song title with the word "heart" in it, and substitute it with "arse". Good examples include I lost my heart to a starship trooper, and my favourite from the cruelly overlooked acoustic punk Patrick Fitzgerald, Safety Pin Stuck in my Heart.

All these bands mentioning their own name in songs and no one appears to have mentioned Body Count.

I think Anabella Lwin sang about being in a band called Bow Wow Wow but I can't remember which song it was.

Chic - Le Freak
Generation X - Your Generation
Who? Where? Why? - Jesus Jones
