Much in the same vein as the stellar Talk Talk, "Rain Tree Crow". Also only for one song, so it really isn't relevant...

KLF, uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh, forgot about them...

Only if it sounded like this.

Dude, I think the only reason the KLF even made music was to say "KLF otherwise known as the Justified Ancients of Muu Muu" constantly.

― Ally (mlescaut), Saturday, 15 February 2003 23:09 (twenty-three years ago)

everybody - wang chung tonight.

― doug (doug), Sunday, 16 February 2003 11:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I think that's the biggest reason I *liked* the KLF, was how they yelled out (almost) my intitials all the time. There was a time when I used to walk about announcing my presence by going "KMF, UH-HUH UH-HUH UH-HUH!!!" OK, I think I need to have a KLF revival right about now.

intitials

kate just created the best word ever.

eve refers to herself a hell of a lot.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 16 February 2003 23:59 (twenty-three years ago)

everybody in my elementary school thought KLF was saying Agents of Moo Juice until I read a Rolling Stone article about 'em.

We thought they were milk crazy!

Talk Talk?

They did it in one song. ONE. By that logic, you might as well cite Living in a Box as well.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 17 February 2003 00:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Oi! The Spice Girls! It's never specifically saying "Spice Girls" (usually) but their only adjective/verb/adverb/etc seems to be "Spice". Also they have songs where they list their own names for some weird reason, because I don't remember them differentiating between the Mels.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 17 February 2003 03:39 (twenty-three years ago)

massive attack? even though i love 'em, i think it's funny.
well, quite a few songs on their first album feature self-namechecking...

this thread is almost 3 years old, and no-one even mentioned wu-tang clan? shit, they were the FIRST group that i thought of when i saw this topic.

Even this thread could never have foreseen the wonders of Mike Jones.

And to think I've been mulling over this question continuously for three years straight without noticing that!

You need to wear some glasses like D.M.C.

Now I wonder, are there any artists who have never referred to themselves? I was going to nominate The Wiggles, but then I remembered they have several songs that go 'Ooooh wiggy-wiggy-wiggy'. Also, there are individual songs which namecheck one of the Wiggles - indeed, each Wiggle has a signature tune (eg, 'Play Your Guitar With Murray' and 'Wake up Jeff').

Basement Jaxx ?

Basement Jaxx announce their name at the start of every album!

a ton of Ride songs use the word "ride"...Chelsea Girl, Close My Eyes, Ride the Wind, just off the top of my head. maybe not quite the same thing, though.

I say it's about time the musicians of the world stood up and took action against the horrible scourge of sub-par mp3 ID tagging.

bands who are required by law to name their state in every single song:
the drive-by truckers

― Sym Sym (sym), Thursday, 1 December 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

When I come in on the middle of a rap song on the radio that I like, I'm always kinda bummed if the rappers don't name check themselves just because the DJs don't always back-announce while I'm still in the car. Maybe that's why I like Ludicris.

― js (honestengine), Thursday, 1 December 2005 05:18 (twenty years ago)

Don't The Hold Steady name themselves in one way or another on every song on their first album? Or almost every song.

― r3000, Thursday, 1 December 2005 05:22 (twenty years ago)

do you really need ludacris to announce himself?

the primadonnas refer to people in the band all the time, but not the band name...
