We seem to not think twice about a band announcing an eponymous album, but when it's a song, it can be a bold choice. My earliest recollection of this would be watching The Monkees sing “(Theme From) The Monkees” on TV, and how perfectly the song and the lyrics fit the band. But what about the bands who don't have their own series of 20 minute stories of charming shenanigans? We end up with these sitcom-less gems. Enjoy.
