    Can you think of songs performed by acts with the same name?

    For example:
    Living in a Box BY Living in a Box

    Now that you get the idea, I will drop the repetition of names and give a few more examples:
    Talk Talk
    Madness
    Kajagoogoo (instrumental on their first album if you are wondering)


    If people feel like doing links to the songs, go for it. I just find it to be too much trouble in this case!

    Does The Monkees and '(Theme from) The Monkees' count?

    It depends on how strict we are on the title I suppose! It is certainly in the spirit of the idea!

    I had discounted another example for a similar reason - Public Image by Public Image Limited!

    I know that song - very striking and dark. In fact, it was the first track on their first album, also called Black Sabbath! Black Sabbath from the album Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath!

    That Bo Diddley song is great!

    The Rolling Stones have covered "Like a rolling stone"

    lots of band referencing themselves in song titles - e.g.:
    The Beta Band Rap
    Ballad of Tindersticks
    Tom Tom Theme (Tom Tom Club)

    Paradise Lost with debut album 'Lost Paradise' had a song on that album called Paradise Lost ..so close to a perfect three , band,album and song all the same.Has anyone achieved the perfect 3.
    The monkees close but the (theme from) part disqualifies them.

    Burning Tree by Burning Tree is the opening track on er guess!

    BT came saw and left again after just one album, which is a pity cos its great blistering blues based rock.

    Missed that ..so Black Sabbath are in the 3 club as well and a few others as posted already..perhaps not quite the unique club I thought it might be !

    Green Day has a song called Green Day. Although I'm not sure there's any 'video evidence' of it being performed. Highly unlikely, especially considering that it's on their very earliest album.
