Songs about fictional people

Bruce Springsteen had The Ghost of Tom Joad.

“99 Luftballoons” by Nena mentions Captain Kirk.

I forgot Jimmy Buffet’s “Captain America” and the Mothers of Invention “King Kong”.

Alice – Joan Armatrading, mentions Alice in Wonderland

They also did Nosferatu.

Procol Harum’s Whiter Shade of Pale mentions The Miller’s Tale, which I always assumed was a reference to Chaucer.

And then there are probably too many songs to list that mention Romeo and/or Juliet. (Take the Long Way Home by Supertramp and Love Stinks by the J. Geils Band, for example)

If band names count, there also Hikaru Genji.
