lstlistoflistings entry in table of contents name is always 'Contents'

Question

I'm trying to add a list of code listings to my document, with a reference to it in the TOC. By simply calling

\lstlistoflistings

I end up getting everything I need (the list of listings, an entry in the TOC, etc) EXCEPT for the fact that the entry is always named 'Contents'. I was able to change the title of the listing page itself by running the command

\renewcommand\lstlistlistingname{List of Code}

but this doesn't change the reference in the table of contents.

EDIT: Adding a minimal working example

\documentclass{Thesis}

\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}
\renewcommand\lstlistlistingname{List of Code}

\tableofcontents

\lstlistoflistings

\lstset{caption=Some Code}
\begin{lstlisting}
Some code
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

Add \clearpage\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\lstlistlistingname} just before \lstlistoflistings — karlkoeller, Dec 16 '13 at 08:26
@Jubobs I'm not sure which thesis.cls the OP was using, so this can not be an answer. — karlkoeller, Jan 24 '14 at 16:04
@karlkoeller Then let's close it as unclear what you're asking. — jub0bs, Jan 24 '14 at 16:48
@Jubobs I've added the answer anyway, since it should work in any case. — karlkoeller, Jan 24 '14 at 17:43
@Jubobs sorry, but closing this is as unclear is an overkill. The issue is the same regardless of the class, it's not something that would not appear as an issue in article and appear as one in a custom class. Voted for re-opening. As well, notice that nobody ever pointed out to the OP that usage of a custom class that we don't have is frowned upon. — yo', Jan 24 '14 at 18:28

You see only "Contents" in the Table of Contents because that is the header of the ToC itself.

If you want to have an entry for your "List of Code", add the following lines

\clearpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\lstlistlistingname}

just before

\lstlistoflistings

Complete MWE:

\documentclass{Thesis}

\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}
\renewcommand\lstlistlistingname{List of Code}

\tableofcontents

\clearpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\lstlistlistingname}

\lstlistoflistings

\lstset{caption=Some Code}
\begin{lstlisting}
Some code
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

Output:
