Suggestion

This is a good one to use I think, since it is two well known songs. Lynrd Skynrd's Sweet Home Alabama is, as mentioned in the lyrics, an "answer song" to Neil Young's "Southern Man"... "Well I heard mister Young sing about her. Well, I heard ole Neil put her down. Well, I hope Neil Young will remember. A Southern man don't need him around anyhow" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.69.104.195 (talk) 02:24, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Let It...

Should we add Let it Bleed as a notorious response to Let it Be? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.203.252 (talk) 05:03, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? 98.221.133.96 (talk) 09:16, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is McCartney's "Let Me Roll It" actually an answer song? It sounds like the song is something of a response to, or a parody of, Lennon's new band, not a response to any particular song98.235.34.95 (talk) 02:50, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Page move=

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. Answer record → Answer song

Answer song previously contained a redirect to List of answer songs. Now someone has created an article on answer songs at answer record and. I have changed answer song to redirect at answer record but I'm fairly certain that the more widely used term is 'answer song', not 'answer record' and can't move it because of the existing redirect article. --Moochocoogle 18:53, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Neutral What a stupid term in the first place. But how original can those people get when their vocabulary is limited to "benjamins," "whore," "crackwhore," "kill," and "pimp." —ExplorerCDT 01:16, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Not even a vote? You just had to vent some negative energy and racism and thought this would be a good place? Hyacinth 17:16, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Please note that this was originally on WP:RM and so ExplorerCDT probably doesn't have this page on his watchlist. violet/riga (t) 17:37, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Moved. violet/riga (t) 23:12, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I have not heard what are in actuality answer songs called that, only "answer record". Hyacinth 01:36, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Wrong Title?

This article mentions that answer songs have been around since the 1930's, but after that, the entire article is about Answer Songs in Hip-Hop Music. That would be a better title.Jennifer Brooks 05:19, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of Answer Songs page deletion

Speaking as a radio DJ, the deletion of the List of answer songs is quite annoying as I found the list to be of great value. I aim to bring it back. gigantibyte 19:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Song Suggestion

I would like to suggest adding "A Pretty Girl Is Like..." from the album 69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields. Songwriter Stephin Merritt has called it an answer song to Irving Berlin's "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody." Reference can be found here. Maybe too obscure for some though...?

Hm, how about Mariah Carey's "Obsessed". That's an answer song to Eminem in general and to his unreleased track song "Bagpipes From Baghdad" off his 2009 album "Relapse". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.4.56 (talk) 22:03, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly agree with previous comment on Lynyrd Skynyrd and Neil Young; "Sweet Home Alabama" is one of the most famous answer songs out there.
