Mostly, I&#8217;m joking.<\/p>\n<p>But when I learned that Fozzy has a song (and album) called &quot;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9x03Spbbz0Q\" target=\"_new\">All That Remains<\/a>&quot;, I thought that was funny because there is actually a band called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BBA4frqKvt8\" target=\"_new\">All That Remains<\/a> (whose album I bought before I bought Fozzy&#8217;s <em>Judas<\/em> this autumn).<\/p>\n<p>So I got to thinking: What other bands have songs that are actually the names of other bands?<\/p>\n<p>Now, to gamify this, we would want to establish some rules:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The song cannot be about the band or act.  So Taylor Swift&#8217;s &#8220;Tim McGraw&#8221; would not count.<\/li>\n<li>The title of the song must be the complete name of the band and must not just include the band name (sort of) in it.  So &#8220;Like a Rolling Stone&#8221; and &#8220;Papa Was A Rolling Stone&#8221; would be out.<\/li>\n<li>Scoring would have to be based on the number of words somehow; one word titles\/band names are easy, so maybe a multiplier of some sort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are a couple samples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Montgomery Gentry, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6udaspBUrVE\" target=\"_new\">Hell Yeah<\/a>&#8221; (although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iFdOAyyn76M\" target=\"_new\">Hellyeah<\/a> presents it as one word&#8211;I&#8217;m not sure if that would be disqualified under the second rule how to score it&#8211;one word or two&#8211;if it&#8217;s allowed).\n<li>Prince, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rrbFQEcpJ3A\" target=\"_new\">Cream<\/a>&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zt51rITH3EA\" target=\"_new\">the band<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Prince, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H9tEvfIsDyo\" target=\"_new\">Kiss<\/a>&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CQRYVsqVT3M\" target=\"_new\">the band<\/a> in 1991&#8211;those old men back then look pretty young now).<\/li>\n<li>Alice Cooper, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Qq4j1LtCdww\" target=\"_new\">Poison<\/a>&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=G5uamDMoW4o\" target=\"_new\">band<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>The Alternate Routes, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9tXzlVjU1xs\" target=\"_new\">Nothing More<\/a>&#8220;, (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IXxHwOkYEYs\" target=\"_new\">band<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Confession: I did an Internet search to get the last one, so I&#8217;ll leave it to those of you who want to play along to search for obvious choices like Breathe, Heart, and Jewel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve often asked this when presented with the written title of a song and a band I&#8217;ve not heard of.
