Band name == album name == song name?

My brother tells me this thread may have already been broached, however neither of us can find it anymore so I figured I'd ask again. I figure either someone will immediately rocket a link to the old thread out of their overstuffed memory or we'll get some good answers...or both!

Anyway, on to the question - In a move that I admire, many bands have released a self-titled album that also includes a self-titled song. For example: Black Sabbath/_Black Sabbath_/"Black Sabbath" (yeah, ok, easy one). Other examples I can think of:

- Tir Na Nog (1971)
- Rotary Connection (1967)
- Bo Diddly (1957)
- Weed (1971)

Who else??

Note: I know there are probably more examples of songs and albums CONTAINING the band name, and this can be cool too, but it's not what I'm looking for....if you want that, let's start another thread. I want all three to be the same.

(If you count an EP rather than an album title, at least. ;-) )

This isn't exactly what you're asking for, but close enough.

Songs: Ohia has an album called "Magnolia Electric Co."

After that album came out, Jason Molina got a full, permanent band, and named them "Magnolia Electric Co."

When I saw them live, if I remember correctly, they played a song called "Magnolia Electric Co." I was bewildered since it wasn't on any of their albums, and I certainly hadn't heard it before, but I couldn't help but wonder if he misspoke.

They Might Be Giants have a self-titled album and a self-titled song, but the latter doesn't appear on the former.

HONORABLE MENTION: Canned Heat had both a song and an album (their first) titled CANNED HEAT, but the song doesn't appear on that album.

It was on the record's original demo version, so they totally count.
