I thought " That's My Life (My Love And My Home)" (1965) by Alfred Lennon, John Lennon's father, to his son's song " In My Life" (1965). Anyone have anything on this? Artaxerxes ( talk) 16:55, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
"Me and Mr. Jones" by Amy Winehouse would seem to be an answer song (of sorts) to Me and Mrs. Jones (1972) made famous by Billy Paul. Anyone have anything on this? Artaxerxes ( talk) 16:44, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
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)
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)
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 song 98.235.34.95 ( talk) 02:50, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
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)
I have not heard what are in actuality answer songs called that, only "answer record". Hyacinth 01:36, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
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)
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)
In the last revision I edited, I found duplicate named references, i.e. references sharing the same name, but not having the same content. Please check them, as I am not able to fix them automatically :)

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)
Strongly agree with previous comment on Lynyrd Skynyrd and Neil Young; "Sweet Home Alabama" is one of the most famous answer songs out there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.128.67 ( talk) 19:55, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
The following songs lack sufficient notoriety or support to be included as answer song examples--and one includes a rather in-your-face obscenity in it's title.
Remaining examples in the article could use substantiation in many cases. Artaxerxes ( talk) 17:24, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

At a quick look, there are a lot of examples given without citations that have been added since 2014. If you are in love to the idea that any of these should stay on the list you better
put a ring on it ..er put a
put a citation on it soon. Later I will go through the article and remove anything lacking support.

Why and where does this article need additional citations for verification? What references does it need and how should they be added? Hyacinth ( talk) 04:21, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
This article is lacking Robert Palmer's 'Pride', which is a response to Olivia Newton-John's 'Physical'. RPFan 06:34, 31 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.253.61.84 ( talk)
How about "Bounce Me Brother With a Solid Four", an answer to " Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar"? It seems a pretty obvious "answer song" though I don't know where to find a source to prove it.
Probably the most famous version of each song was the one by the Andrews Sisters, which is a little odd (can you sing an answer song to answer yourself?) but arguably that just makes it a more interesting example. -- Trovatore ( talk) 07:30, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
