I haven't done lists that include the name Mary, but I have done lists of songs whose title is a person's name. And dude, songs about going crazy ... what a great list to make!
My Superman List is pretty short. There are bunches of songs in which Superman is a metaphor for being in control, saying, "I'm not Superman" or "I can be Superman," but I don't think they should count if they have nothing to do with Superman (you know, with the cape and the alter-ego and all).
Jimmy Olsen's Blues by the Spin Doctors (I have a soft spot for Jimmy Olsen, so this one is especially fun) Superman's Song by the Crash Test Dummies (I love this song so much. Seriously.) Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down (Every time I see Superman-goes-bad fic, I think of this song) Superman (It's Not Easy) by Five for Fighting (I know people who think this song is whiny, but I think Superman deserves to be a little emo once in a while.) Superman by REM (This one was borderline. I almost took it off for being too much of a metaphor, but I really like it, so it stayed on the list.)
If you do want the ones that I exclude for not being about Superman, I can give you those, too.
Songs about or that mention US states. (mostly Cali, it's popular) I was unreasonable glad that Ludo is from Missouri, because they mention it (just in passing) in a couple of their songs. I grew up in Missouri, and it generally gets no mention in music.
