* Music/{{Manowar}}'s song "Kings Of Metal" features the band's name twice each chorus, as well as throughout the verses. Eric Adams also lets out a number of [[MetalScream lengthy screams]] bringing the total over a dozen. It is, in fact, the first and second word of the song:

* Shiny Toy Guns' "When They Came For Us" [[NonAppearingTitle doesn't have a song title drop]], but does have a band name drop: "And I miss everyone. But most of all the little ones. And their '''shiny toy guns'''."
* Music/TheStoneRoses song 'Where Angels Play' is an odd case, as the demo contains the title but the version considered 'finished' (itself little more than a demo) featured on the 'I Wanna Be Adored' single and the 'Turns Into Stone' compilation album, does not.
* Another band name drop is the song "Talk Talk" by...Talk Talk! Which was written by Mark Hollis to be recorded by a proto-Talk Talk group, supposedly.
* Very subtle example: in Come to Daddy (Mummy Mix) by AphexTwin, at about 1:30 you can hear a voice say "Aphex Twin" on the stereo right channel. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRHVra3t8GU Listen.]]
* The Finnish power metal band ''Music/{{Nightwish}}'' loves doing this. A few examples are: Nightwish (from Angels Fall First. It's a demo, and consequently, [[CaptainObvious also the band's namesake.]]), Nemo, Stargazers, Amaranth, Bless the Child, and Planet Hell.
* There's also BadCompany originally performed by the band BadCompany which appeared on the album Music/BadCompany (Later covered by Music/FiveFingerDeathPunch)
--> And that's why they call me\\
Bad Company\\
I can't deny\\
Bad Bad Company till the day I die
* Music/BadReligion do their own wry twist on the band-name drop in the song ''No Direction'':
--> I don't believe in self important folks who preach /\\
no Bad Religion song can make your life complete
* The Spin Doctors drop their band name twice in "What Time Is It?" The first verse ends with the line "Use a little English to doctor the spin"; the second verse ends with the line "Spin doctor, it's oh so sad".
* Interesting example : "Up the Junction" by the British band Squeeze has no chorus, and the title doesn't appear at all - until the very end:
--> I'd beg for her forgiveness\\
But begging's not my business\\
And so it's my assumption\\
I'm really up the junction
** Music/SimonAndGarfunkel's "The Boxer" is sort of the same, although it does have a chorus (albeit one that consists solely of [[SingingSimlish "lie la lie"]] repeated endlessly). The title is not acknowledged until the final verse.
* In a glorious version of this trope, Swedish power metal band Sabaton's first album ''Primo Victoria'' ends with the song "Metal Machine", the lyrics of which are built around the titles of songs by other metal bands (as well as its own):
--> Riding on this crazy train\\
I'm going paranoid\\
Watch me lose my mind\\
And break the law\\
I'm a metal machine\\
It's close to midnight and\\
He's barking at the moon\\
I'm a metal machine\\
the rainbow in the dark is shining
* The song "Sixteenth Century Greensleeves" from [[IAmTheBand Ritchie Blackmore's]] [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows Rainbow]] has [[HeyItsThatVoice Dio]] randomly throwing in the title from the back row.
* The Lover Speaks dropped their name in their [[OneHitWonder only hit]] "No More I Love You’s" ("The lover speaks about the monsters"). If that song title sounds familiar, it’s because Annie Lennox’s cover version is better known.
* While Music/{{Prince}} had the [[LuckyCharmsTitle Love Symbol]] as his name, one of his songs was actually titled "Love Sign".
* Music/{{Korn}} had their song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXc-_7P-uO8&feature=related Children of the Korn]].
* In the Music/{{Godsmack}} song Crying Like a Bitch, "And you can run/ your little mouth all day/ but the hand of God/ just smacked you back into yesterday."
* "We're Going to Be Friends" by {{The White Stripes}} sounds like a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] when listened to, but transcriptions of the lyrics show the {{title drop}}.
* Series/BigTimeRush has a song called "Big Time Rush"
* Done punstastically by {{Slade}} in their biggest hit "Merry Xmas Everybody":
--> Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made\\
When you land upon your head then you've been '''sleighed'''
* The first hit of Brazilian band Os Paralamas do Sucesso had the lyric "The Paralamas do Sucesso are going to play in the capital..."
* The extended intro to the music video of Music/{{Eurythmics}}' "Would I Lie to You?" drops the phrase, "Be yourself tonight", which is [[AlbumTitleDrop the title of the album the song comes from]].
* In general, it's more rare for a song [[NonAppearingTitle to NOT have a title drop]] than to have one. And when it doesn't, it usually leads to RefrainFromAssuming. (For example, many people think the title of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" is actually "Major Tom", [[IAmNotShazam but it isn't]].)
** This goes double for title songs in musicals.
** Additionally, most albums are named after one of the songs, which is a type of [[AC: TitleDrop]].
*** And there's also the AlbumTitleDrop, where a song lyric names the album (examples in that page).
* 90% of the lyrics of Music/TheBeatles song "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?" are..."Why don't we do it in the road?" [[BrokenRecord repeated over and over.]] It doesn't just ''have'' a [[AC: TitleDrop]], it ''is'' a [[AC: TitleDrop]].
** To clarify: the song has eighteen lines. "No one will be watching us" is sung three times. The other fifteen lines? ...yeah. [[LudicrousPrecision Which would make it 83.3 repeating percent.]]
** The Beatles' song "Glass Onion" actually title-drops [[SongOfSongTitles a handful of their previous songs]], coming off a bit like a catchy clip-show.
** "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)". Both are late Beatles songs written by John, and both have almost no words other than the titles. I want you is almost 8 minutes and only 14 words, so it's more or less the epitome of this trope.
* Similar to Music/TheBeatles examples, the lyrics to an Indonesian song, ''I just want to say I love you'', is just that repeated over and over, with differing tones.
* Music/DragonForce loves to TitleDrop its song titles in other songs: just one example of many is the line "Through the fire, through the flames" in the song "The Flame Of Youth."
** Their song "Operation Ground and Pound" opens with the lines "Smashing through the boundaries/Storming through the burning fields" as a reference to "Storming the Burning Fields," which comes later on the album.
* GreenDay's ''TwentyFirstCenturyBreakdown'' tends to mention the name of an act in a song near the beginning of that act.
* Counting Crows title-drops ''the band itself'' on their song ''A Murder Of One'' ("as you stood there, counting crows").
* On the track "Tempus Fugit" from Music/{{Yes}}' album ''Drama'', the word "YES!" is mentioned so often, and with such pathos, that you'd think they were trying to make "Tempus Fugit" the band's title song.
** ''Drama'' was the first (and as it turned out, only) Yes album not to feature lead singer Jon Anderson, so maybe they were just trying to reassure listeners that they were still Yes.
* Many rappers namedrop themselves in their songs.
* Almost all of Music/MichaelJackson's songs, especially his bigger hits and singles, have a title drop usually sung repeatedly. In fact, it's difficult to find a song that doesn't.
* Music/{{Metallica}} mentions their own name in the song "Whiplash" on the album ''Kill 'Em All'';
-->Hotel rooms and motorways\\
Life out here is raw\\
But we'll never stop\\
We'll never quit\\
'Cause we're Metallica
* Music/{{Megadeth}}'s song "Victory" is almost entirely [[SongOfSongTitles made up of previous song/album names.]]
* Music/RhapsodyOfFire always have a song on any given album with the same name as the album itself, the semi-exception being Symphony of Enchanted Lands II: The Dark Secret ("semi" because there is still a track called "The Dark Secret"). of course, this isn't exactly unique. What's a bit more unique is towards the end of 19 minute epic Gargoyles, Angels of Darkness, in which they drop the titles of all their previous albums (Legendary Tales, Symphony of Enchanted Lands, Dawn of Victory, Rain of a Thousand Flames)...
-->And this is then the epic end\\
Of the legendary tale\\
Of the one who found the light and the dragonflame in inside\\
Of the tragic rain of a thousand flames\\
Of the towns' defenders who faced pain\\
Of symphonies of enchanted lands\\
Of whispers of love and hate\\
The dawn of victory can breathe in the wind...
* Music/{{Manowar}}'s song "Kings Of Metal" features the band's name twice each chorus, as well as throughout the verses. Eric Adams also lets out a number of [[MetalScream lengthy screams]] bringing the total over a dozen. It is, in fact, the first and second word of the song:
-->Manowar, Manowar, livin' on the road\\
When we hit town, speakers explode\\
We don't attract wimps 'cause we're too loud\\
Just real metal people, that's Manowar's crowd!
* The first line of the lyrics of "Chelsea Girl" by Music/{{Ride}} is "Take me for a ride away from places I have known". (Incidentally, this is the first song on their first record, which happens to be a [[SelfTitledAlbum self-titled EP]], making this also an AlbumTitleDrop.)
* The Hold Steady drop their band name several times, including "Positive Jam" ("All the sniffling indie kids: hold steady"), "Slapped Actress" ("Our hands will hold steady"), "Most People Are [=DJs=]" ("Hold steady, Ybor City") and "Knuckles" ("It's hard to hold steady when half your friends are dead already")
* British rock band {{Music/Muse}} uses this in their most recent album The Resistance, with the line "You are my muse," in the song "I Belong to You."
* Both Title and Band Name Drop: Music/IronMaiden's "Iron Maiden", from the album ''[[SelfTitledAlbum Iron Maiden]]'' ("Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought").
* BraveSaintSaturn: In the song "Atropos" from ''The Light of Things Hoped For'': "You are brave in this darkness, Saint Saturn".
* Music/{{AFI}}, short for A Fire Inside, have a couple: "We are the ones who have a fire inside" from "Keeping Out of Direct Sunlight (an Introduction)" and "Will the flood behind me put out the fire inside me?" from "The Missing Frame."
* The Music/DreamTheater album [[ConceptAlbum Metropolis Pt.2: Scenes From a Memory]] gets its title drop in the song Home: "The city- it calls to me/ Decadent scenes from my memory." In addition, the theme of the sleeper and the miracle is a title drop of Metropolis Prt.1: The Miracle and The Sleeper, which in turn contains title drops of various songs in Prt.2 (the dance of eternity, and metropolis to name a few)
** Part 3 of "Octavarium" drops various titles of Mike Portnoy's favorite songs
--->Sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem's ready\\
Jack the ripper owens wilson phillips and my supper's ready\\
Lucy in the sky with diamond dave's not here I come to save the\\
Day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home again
