Songs that mention other bands or even better their own band, the more obscure the better

[Captain Willard]

Pretty self explanatory I think. I’ll start the ball rolling with Teenage wildlife by David Bowie where he refers to

 

“"Well, David, what shall i do? They wait for me in the hallway"
I'll say "don't ask me, I don't know any hallways"

Deadly Eye by the Dwarves has a little spoken word section in the middle that names their own band and one of the members of it…

 

Deadly eye, in a world that hate created
Deadly eye, with a lust that can't be sated deadly
I wonder why all the women drop and die when he walks by
Deadly eye, you won't never see him cry
The deadly eye, 'cause he's so glad to be alive and deadly
I wonder why they will testify against him at the trial

Recognize the Dwarves slay
Because you can't hide from the deadly eye
He Who Cannot Be Named
Bring on all the young girls and the free cocaine
Fuck you up and get high

And you still wonder why

WHY! WHY! WHY!
DEADLY EYE!
