Thanks to Becky who wrote in to remind us that today is National Selfie Day. With that in mind, we have an interesting take on today's Coffee Break topic:

What songs do you want to hear where the band either references itself, or one of the members of the band, in the lyrics?

Respond with your song ideas in the comments below.

Also, PSA! If you're in town, stop on by Tattersall later today to meet Oake and Riley, see a free show from P.O.S, and try your hand at music trivia or a spelling bee with questions curated from one Mr. Sean McPherson.
