It may have been a quick shout-out during a breakdown or before a solo, or maybe they used their moniker in a sentence as part of the song&#8217;s storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>It might sound a little corny on paper but when it\u2019s done right, it can come across as bold, funny or even iconic. Regardless, it&#8217;s definitely memorable.<\/p>\n<p>We compiled a list of songs that contain the band&#8217;s name in the lyrics in some shape or form. Some of these were no-brainers and others took a little more digging to find because it&#8217;s a lesser-known song or a deep cut.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of the following artists have referenced themselves in numerous songs (we&#8217;re looking at you, <a href=\"https:\/\/loudwire.com\/tags\/limp-bizkit\/\" target=\"_blank\">Limp Bizkit<\/a>), so we just went with one track in order to avoid repeating the same artist over and over&#8230; and for a few of them, over and over again after that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE:\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/loudwire.com\/rock-metal-bands-diehard-fanbases\/\" target=\"_blank\">The 10 Rock + Metal Bands With the Most Diehard Fanbases<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A handful of groups named a song after themselves, which was sometimes even included on an album named after themselves as well.<\/p>\n<p>Keep scrolling to see songs where the group said their own name in the song.
