List of self-referential songs in films

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unencyclopedic and trivial, a list of film theme songs that happen to include the title of the film in them. No more notable than having a list of films that includes the main character in the title, or dozens of other potential film/song title lists. The article introduction makes little sense as well; Musical film score is often employed in the production of a film, but there have been occasions where a song was written in reference to itself. I don't believe any of the songs listed here were "written in reference to itself", they were written for the film they were included in, but that's quite different to a song that was genuinely written in reference to itself, for example "You're So Vain".
