Negativland - Michael Jackson
Cocoa Tea - Barack Obama
i like how all of these can be read either way and you can imagine that michael jackson had a song called "negativland" and barack obama has one called "cocoa tea."

Serial killer edition:
Soulfly - Jeffrey DahmerSufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacy JrCassius - Belle GunnessDahmer - Henry Lee Lucas (this works for a double qualifier since the artist name is also based on a serial killer)Murder Junkies - Danny Rolling
Several songs titled Son of Sam, Jack the Ripper, Unabomber, BTK, Zodiac but don’t know if they qualify. Serial killers are usually more popular by nicknames than by real names no?

songs with names beginning with Mr or Mrs/Miss in which the name is a ridiculous , over-the-top 'character' name and or being used as a nickname to insult someone“Mr. Vain” is playing, so I came back to see if it had already been mentioned—it has—so instead I’ll add “Mr. Perfectly Fine” (T. Swift).

A valid topic of its own! which would encompass "Perfect Day," "There She Goes," and "Can't Feel my Face."
