It's not a different question, that existing threat answers that question within.
Creating a self-titled song happens to be one way for a band to "namecheck" itself and that's covered in the other thread.

The difference is the old one only asks who mentions themselves in a song. This one asks which artists titled a song after themselves. They are different questions.

How can you not see the difference between writing a song with the exact same name as your band, and just mentioning your band's name in any random song?
That is not the same thing. I'm sorry that your attempt to point out a dupicate thread failed, but just give it up.

Self-titled songs comprise a sub-set of songs including a name-check.
That said, if everyone can swallow their egos and lose the attitude then this near duplicate thread will stay open by way of a "part two".

My ego is so big I can't swallow.
Seems a bit odd that the other thread was closed for being similar to a new thread. I see you calling this a "part two" but wouldn't it make sense to either merge or at the least point out why the other thread was closed in that thread?

I can't see why they don't both exist. The threads are NOT asking the same thing. I don't give two shits about bands that write any random song with their band name in it. I was actually really interested to know of other bands who wrote a song that was named after the band. That other thread doesn't help me.
