songs about mythological things

I know the season is almost upon us, but not quite yet. Still some more time to wait and speculate endlessly. Haven't had a new song thread in a while. Maybe this has already been done, but I don't recall. Plenty of directions you can go with this.

Don't have to get deep on this one, the song doesn't really have to be about anything mythological, I'm just going for song titles. This is also a chance to include some obscure songs I haven't figured out how to include in any previous threads.

Here we have a same title, different song from earlier in the thread. I grew up w/ the Bananarama version, but I'll go with an earlier one.

Many real historical figures take on mythical proportions. Also this video is a tribute to an early black and white silent film, thought that was kinda cool.

Blackbriar “Selkie”

Interesting and very nicely done. I assume that’s an original. There are loads of traditional folk songs about Silkies. The best known is from Joan Baez; my favorite version is from Solas:
