These two immediately spring to mind:

Small Faces - "Song For A Baker"
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm4klQeCbsM[/youtube]

The Flaming Lips - "Race For The Prize" (about the polio vaccine)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWBdPkWkjkw[/youtube]

What are some other loud tunes about unconventional subjects? Tolkein references don't count.

"Quark Strangeness and Charm" by Hawkwind is a speculation about Albert Einstein's popularity (or lack thereof) with the ladies.

"Helter Skelter" comes to mind - if it really is about an amusement park slide.
