    Tooting their own horn ......

    *****

    I'm putting together a CD of old stuff which includes Archie Bell and the Drells and Bohannon......

    "LET'S GROOVE " starts out with the line
    ......"Hi everybody ...I'm Archie Bell and these are The Drells....."

    and then of course Bohannon had no reservation mentioning himself within his work

    Just wondering ....what other acts did a little self promoting within their lyrics ??

    Another that jumps out right away is ...."Everybody have fun tonight ...everybody HUANG CHUNG tonight ....."

    Others? :-?

    Most of my examples are funk tracks:

    Yellow Sunshine by Yellow Sunshine (a Philly group)
    Mighty Ryeders by Mighty Ryeders
    Feel Like Good Music (flipside to their breakbeat anthem 'Catch A Groove') by Juice (they refer to themselves)
    Let Us Entertain You by First Choice
    We Are Family by Sister Sledge
    Doesn't Teddy Pendergrass refer to himself in HM & Bluenotes' 'Satisfaction Guaranteed'? He says something like 'let Teddy....'
    I don't know if this counts, but in 'Boogie Oogie Oogie', Janice Johnson refers to her bass playing 'listen to my bass, yeah'.
