Songs where the lyrics
Contain the name of the band. But not when they're actually talking about the band itself. Lyrics quoted (in caps) from Pornography by The Cure.
Have you and deep_blue been sniffing glue?
*deep_glue
The The - This Is THE Day
"you were watching THE whites of your eyes turn red"
The
The.
...
My Dying Bride - Return to the Beautiful
"My Dying Bride
Through a rain of tears
The pity I fashion"
God - Fucked
"God
God
God
GOD
GOD!!!!"
"The only way for me to solve this crisis is to be Superman IV: The Quest for Peace"
The Hold Steady - Positive Jam
"And I got bored when I didn't have a band
So I started a band, man
We're gonna start it with a positive jam
Hold steady!"
RELATED: Lifter Puller - To Live and Die in LBI
"That's when she said that we should do this all over
She wipes the blood from her mouth with her shoulder
Said, "I just need a little diet cola, or maybe just a little lifter puller.""
seems like a fairly clear self-reference
there are fewer examples of this than you'd think
there are a lot on the first Hold Steady record
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
Oh wow, the word 'talk' looks really weird to me now
like Russian ou quelque chose.
The Cult - Sun King
Let me tell you people
Now, listen good
City crawling like a tired dog, yeah
Cult children in the house of the dawn, yeah
To be honest I cheated and looked that up assuming that they would mention the word "Cult" at some point. Also I hear it as "occult," which makes more sense, but lyrics sites have it as "cult" so who am I to argue!
InMe have a field day with this one.
Ensturzende Neubauten's "Ende Neu" is pretty clever, really.
Rammstein milk it for all it's worth, too.
show me a word that rhymes with Pavement
and i wont kill your parents
and roast them on a spit
Hot Chip will break your legs
snap off your head
Hot Chip will put you down
under the ground
The Chills
It's the night of Chill Blue /
And I hope to God you feel this tooooooo
The Who
Who are you? (Who? Who?)
KVELERTAK!
hey it's been a while
