    ...but aren't self-titled songs (IE: Bad Company - "Bad Company") or mentioned in the song's title (IE: Queen - "Killer Queen"):

    Boston - "Rock N Roll Band"
    The Fifth Dimension - "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In"
    Yes - "Tempus Fugit"

    Others?

    "we were just another band out of Boston...." - that mentions the city, not the band.

    Andy Smith .....Like a good pinch of snuff......

    Kinda along those lines..... How about when Freddie M says "Down in the city, just Hoople 'n' me..." in 'Now I'm Here'. Close enough?

    This doesn't count, but when I first heard Sgt Peppers I used to think Paul was saying "see the Beatles standing there" on Fixing a Hole. >.<

    For a real one, The Honeys - Shoot The Curl.

    "Creeque Alley" mentions Mama Cass, if that counts.

    There are numerous songs in which the band or artist only mentions a part of his name, such as Billy Joel in "Piano Man." Do those count?
