One example that comes to mind is the song “35007,” from the psychedelic/stoner rock band Monkey3’s self-titled album:

While I’m not completely certain that this song was named after fellow psychedelic/stoner rock band 35007, it would seem like quite a coincidence if it wasn’t!

Here's one of the best. Bonzo Dog Band released this song in 1967:

Giving rise to this band thirty years later:

Thanks for sharing, @XPerryMental! This is a great example, and I had no idea that Death Cab for Cutie are named after this song by The Bonzo Dog Band. Cheers!
Cool topic @TreyAnastasio, I'll play along, although I don't have anything nearly as cool as @XPerryMental! I always wondered how DCFC came up with that name.
Buffalo Tom with a song that happens to be the name of a favorite 90's emo band of mine:

Joe Satriani with a song that also happens to be the name of a favorite 90's shoegaze band of mine:

August Burns Red's Marianas Trench, also a band name (ok the band doesn't have an apostrophe, but, close enough!)

Before changing their name to The Appleseed Cast, they were originally called December's Tragic Drive, after a lyric from the (excellent) Sunny Day Real Estate song Seven:

Thanks for sharing, @MikeDmo24 and @StompingLlama! These are all great examples as well; cheers!
