Stevie Wonder's "Superwoman [[Where Were You When I Needed You)" from Music Of My Mind makes a reference to his birth sign, Taurus the Bull, with this lyric from the 2nd verse; "Mary wants to be a superwoman and try to boss the bull around".

At first I was thinking kind of odd to call your band a zodiac sign and then not sing about astrology , at least a little, but then I got to thinking did Chicago ever sing a song about Chicago?? Boston about Boston? The Beatles about insects?? The Commodores about ..... ??.... lol!

Chicago did have "Take Me Back To Chicago" in 1977 from their Chicago XI LP [[otherwise, none of the acts you mentioned did a song that refenced their band names)

Ha ! You know when I chose them , I thought , you watch, there's going to be a song by them about Chicago.....well chances are good, since they did put out fifty albums [[or whatever hefty sum). That's why I hedged my bet with Boston. ha!
