Dr., Ms., Mr., etc. These are examples of honorifics.

I'm looking to compile a list of songs with honorifics in their song titles, so please contribute.

Here's the ones I can think of right now:

Ben Harper - Excuse Me, Mr.
Buffalo Springfield - Mr. Soul
The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man
Cypress Hill - Dr. Greenthumb
Dewey Cox - Dear Mr. President
GNR - Mr. Brownstone
The Killers - Mr. Brightside
King's X - Mr. Wilson
Motley Crüe - Dr. Feelgood
NIN - Mr. Self Destruct
Ozzy Osbourne - Mr. Crowley
Pixies - Mr. Grieves
Styx - Mr. Roboto
Simon & Garfunkel - Mrs. Robinson

Surprisingly the majority of these quality songs.
