Check the first post.

 

Boston- "Rock and Roll Band" "We were just nother band out of Boston"

 

Not sure how I missed that!

 

Not to worry, it seems to be going around (see the post between mine and yours).

 

Motherly Love!

 

Manfred Mann - "54321" "Uh-huh! It was the Manfreds! "

 

"Give Peace a Chance."

 

Nirvana - Paper Cuts

 

Not a band but Hank Williams Jr sings a lot of songs about himself.

 

The Lover Speaks-1986
"The Lover Speaks About The Monsters" -No More I Love You's

 

"Whiplash"

"We'll never stop
We'll never quit
Cause we're Metallica"

Unfortunately they were being honest.

 

The band Overkill does this in a lot of their songs.

 

The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Just before the guitar solo in "Fire", Jimi says..."Ahh, move over rover...and let Jimi take over..."

Also, I know he's not a band, but there are countless times when Jerry Lee Lewis has referred to himself as any and all of the following: Jerry, Jerry Lee, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Killer...and other variants on those. When it comes to self promotion within the song itself, no-one even comes close to him.

 

Slowdive mentions Slowdive on their tune called "Slowdive" (from their self-titled debut EP).

 

Book of Love-Book of Love-1986
'Pages From My Book of Love'-Book of Love
