"Black Sabbath," Black Sabbath
"Love Theme From Kiss," Kiss
"Bob Dylan's Dream," Bob Dylan
"The Ballad Of Mott the Hoople," Mott the Hoople
"Bad Company," Bad Company
"Who Are You," the Who
"Van Dyke Parks," Van Dyke Parks

(Van Dyke Parks, Beach Boy Brian Wilson's occasional songwriting partner, named a song after himself on his first album and credited it to the public domain. It was followed by "Public Domain," credited to. . .Van Dyke Parks. :crazy: )

The only ones I can think of--

Wham had a song called Wham Rap.

Queen used to play "God Save the Queen" at the end of their concerts.

Queenryche has a song called "Queen of the Reich". That's kind of close.

Would "Sweet Baby James" by James Taylor count?
