Album title in bold:

Jefferson Starship, “We Built This City” (“Knee deep in the hoopla”)

Stevie Wonder “Masterblaster” (“Its hotter than July”)

U2, “Walk On” (“All that you can’t leave behind”)

Anybody think of any others? Is there a name for this phenomenon?

Genesis, "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" ("Selling England by the Pound")

"Paper late!" cried a voice in the crowd
"Old man dies!" The note he left was signed 'Old Father Thames'
It seems he's drowned

THe Jethro Tull Album "Aqualung" has a song by that name but also mentions the album name in another song, "Locomotive Breath"

Led Zeppelin took it to a whole new level releasing the album "Houses of the Holy" with no song by that title and no reference in any of the lyrics then releasing the double album "Physical Graffiti" with the song "Houses of the Holy" on it.

Off topic (great thread), but inside the leaflet of Appetite for destruction, the chorus of "You could Be Mine" -- With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue...

That was a 4-5 year absentee lyric.

Doesn't have the name in the song, but always wondered why Baba O'Riley wasn't called Teenage Wasteland. It was on the Sirius as we drove home from Costco this afternoon and the wife said she thought the name was Teenage Wasteland too when she saw the song title.
