Yes, it's about his actual mother, whose name was Mary, and who died in the 50s.

When asked if the phrase "Mother Mary" in the song referred to the mother of Jesus, McCartney has typically replied that listeners can interpret the song however they like.

Pretty sure he thinks he's more talented and worthy of love and respect than that.

Just two days ago I was listening to a Philly Soul compilation when "Only the Strong Survive" came on, and I started thinking about how many songs involved what somebody's mama said. Quite a few, as it turns out.

i think another hundred should be easy to come by; i appreciate that people are posting interesting and/or well-known songs instead of just googling up a list.
