Songs where the artist name checks themselves or a member of the band
There was a discussion the other day about Roxette where someone mentioned that more artists should name check themselves in their songs like Roxette did in “Joyride”. Here are a few examples:
Limp Bizkit - Rollin’. “L-I-M-P Bizkit is right here.”
311 - Down. “Check the technique from 311 in L.A.”
Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild. “Park Avenue leads to Skid Row.”
Papa Roach - Infest. “My name's Coby Dick, Mr. Dick if you're nasty.”
Def Leppard - Armageddon It. “C'mon, Steve, get it” in reference to guitarist Steve Clark.
Poison - Talk Dirty To Me. “C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me” in reference to guitarist C.C. DeVille.
