There are plenty of bands with self-titled albums, but what about bands with self-titled songs? They exist, though they seem to exist primarily within heavy metal and its sub-genres.
Let's make a list of all the ones we can think of:
Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden
Manowar
They Might Be Giants
Nightwish
Metal Church
Heaven And Hell (This one is cheating, I know)
And almost eponymous songs:
King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
Helloween - Halloween
Blind Guardian - Guardian of the Blind
Big Country - In A Big Country
Queensrÿche - Queen of the Reich

I swear I thought Ministry had one...but apparently not.
Rammstein - Rammstein
Sort of;
Rainbow - Rainbow Eyes/Catch the Rainbow
Sort of but not really;
Red Hot Chili Peppers - They're Red Hot
White Zombie - I Zombie
That's what I got from going through about 6,000 songs and listing what hasn't been listed already.

Did Overkill have an original song called Overkill, or are you counting their cover of the Motorhead song?

We need someone who knows a lot about rap to get involved here. I'm sure that would grow this list real fast.

Slim Shady is apparently a character he sometimes plays, if I recall correctly. And Marshall Mathers is his real name, his initials MM being the basis for his stage name. I don't know or care much about Eminem. He's got some okay rhymes, but he sounds like a fucking twelve year old. Hit puberty already, dude.

Like A Rolling Stone was not written by the Stones, so it cannot be eponymous.
Eponymous means "self-titled". If the self didn't write it, it's not self-titled.
