History Main / CallAndResponseSong

* "I'm Wishing" from ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' has an interesting variant. Snow White is singing into a well, and it echos out her voice.

* Dr. Facilier's VillainSong in ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog,'' taking many cues from the aforementioned Minnie The Moocher:

* The VillainSong "Hellfire" from Disney's ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' is a Call And Response Song with a BilingualBonus. While Frollo is insisting that he's not to blame, a chorus sings the Act of Contrition, "''Mea Culpa/Mea Culpa/Mea Maxima Culpa''", which, [[BilingualBonus when translated from]] [[OminousLatinChanting Ominous Latin]], is "My fault/My fault/My most grievous fault", and completely negates what he says.

* ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' has ''For the First Time in Forever (reprise)'', which has Anna attempting to encourage Elsa to come back, while Elsa resists.

** TheMovie has "No Matter What", a song that Steven sings to [[spoiler:a memory-wiped]] Amethyst to help her remember everything they've done together. [[spoiler:In-universe, the call-and-response part is justified by Amethyst having been reduced to a BlankSlate, who can only repeat the words she hears. As her memories return near the song, she adds new lines of her own.]]

* [[Music/TheStooges Iggy Pop]]'s "Success" from ''Music/LustForLife'', with Music/DavidBowie on backup vocals. Becomes a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} towards the end when Iggy starts improvising lyrics and Bowie follows him perfectly.

* ''[[Theatre/DisneyOnIce Disney on Ice Presents: Frozen]]'' turns "Let It Go" into this in the finale—Idina Menzel sings the title phrase twice, and primarily the audience repeats it twice more, going back and forth. [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic And it is awesome.]]

'''Debra:''' Love is life and life is living, it's very special\\

* ''Music/KaizersOrchestra'' used this method for many of their songs. "170" from their debut album is a good example, as is "Djevelens Orkester" ("The Devil's Orchestra") from the second album.

* ''Music/KaizersOrchestra'' used this method for many of their songs. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhC_ca8A96Q "170"]] from their debut album is a good example, as is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL9sB-fqiN4 "Djevelens Orkester"]] ("The Devil's Orchestra") from the second album.

-->Then why did the mother and her child still stay in the foresty villiage? (Because the well[[note]]the word used (イド) can be used to mean id, as in the Freudian term. [[AlternateCharacterReading Yes, that's important.]][[/note]] called out to them.)

* Music/TheStatlerBrothers: Their 1981 top 10 country hit "Don't Wait On Me," which sees Don Reid and Lew [=DeWitt=] trade call-and-response lead vocals on the verses, which use humorous "when pigs fly"-type hyperbole to affirm a breakup is permanent. Examples including the sun rising in the west and setting in the east, San Diego sailors not getting tattoeed, winter weather for the Fourth of July and several [[ShoutOut cultural references]], most notably notorious atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair becoming a born-again Christian and subsequently ordained) and Wrigley Field, which at the time was the only unlighted field in Major League Baseball. [[note]]'''Note''': When recorded in late 1980, efforts to light the field – which had begun many years earlier – were at a standstill, mostly due to neighbors who objected to the light and noise of night games. So when Wrigley field ''did'' become lighted in 1988, a new, live version was recorded, with the lyrics updated to have a dome placed over Wrigley (in addition to having Jimmy Fortune take over [=DeWitt=]'s lead vocals).[[/note]]

* The "Plagues" song from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'' is a back-and-forth between Moses and Rameses noting the way their relationship has changed, and Moses pleading for the Hebrews to be freed and Rameses refusing. The animation behind the song is a montage of Egypt being devastated by the plagues.

** The GenderSwap version of the song is [[OlderThanTheyThink almost as old as the song itself]], going back as far as the 1949 film ''Neptune's Daughter'', which starts with a young Ricardo Montalban as the wolf and Esther Williams as the mouse, and then transitions to Red Skelton as the mouse and Betty Garret as the wolf.

''Pirate:''' Ohhhhhh…\\

* ''[[Theatre/DisneyOnIce Disney on Ice Presents: Frozen]]'' turns "Let It Go" into this in the finale—Idina Menzel sings the title phrase twice, and primarily the audience repeats it twice more, going back and forth. [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome And it is awesome.]]

* Music/{{Evanescence}} combines this with SopranoAndGravel in the chorus to "Bring Me To Life" (featuring Paul McCoy of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_Stones 12 Stones]] as the gravel):
-->'''Paul McCoy:''' Wake me up!\\
'''Amy Lee:''' Wake me up inside\\
'''Paul McCoy:''' I can't wake up!\\
'''Amy Lee:''' Wake me up inside\\
'''Paul McCoy:''' Save me!\\
'''Amy Lee:''' Call my name and save me from the dark\\
'''Paul McCoy:''' Wake me up!\\
'''Amy Lee:''' Bid my blood to run\\
'''Paul McCoy:''' I can't wake up!\\
'''Amy Lee:''' Before I come undone\\
'''Paul McCoy:''' Save me!\\
'''Amy Lee:''' Save me from the nothing I've become

-->Whatcha wanna do when you get out of jail?

* [[Music/TheStooges Iggy Pop]]'s "Success" from ''Music/LustForLife'', with Music/DavidBowie on backup vocals. Becomes a CrowningMomentOfFunny towards the end when Iggy starts improvising lyrics and Bowie follows him perfectly.

* Instrumental version in the Far Corporation cover of the classic Music/LedZeppelin song "Stairway to Heaven" - rather than just having the guitar and drums play the bridge riff together, they change it up by having the guitar play a riff with a set of drum beats in response that goes back and forth for a couple of bars of the song. See [[https://youtu.be/71eJKnBKwNI?t=6m14s]]

* The verses to Music/ShaniaTwain's "Party for Two" are a dialogue between her and labelmate Billy Currington. An alternate version exists with Mark [=McGrath=] of Sugar Ray doing the male vocals.

* The last chorus of Music/GeorgeJones' "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair" has various country singers repeating each line. In order of appearance, they are Music/AlanJackson, T. Graham Brown, Music/PattyLoveless with Pam Tillis, Mark Chesnutt, Travis Tritt, Music/VinceGill, Music/JoeDiffie, Music/ClintBlack, and Music/GarthBrooks.
* The country song "If I Were You", recorded first by The Oak Ridge Boys in 1991, features a dialogue between two men who each desire the life the other one has. The two singers alternate lines throughout the verses, and also sing separate parts on the chorus, which sometimes overlap. Chad Brock later recorded a version with Mark Wills singing the second part and Kenny Rogers recorded the song with Travis Tritt.

* "Don't Go Out" by Tanya Tucker and T. Graham Brown:

* The last chorus of Music/GeorgeJones' "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair" has various country singers repeating each line. In order of appearance, they are Music/AlanJackson, T. Graham Brown, Music/PattyLoveless with Pam Tillis, Mark Chesnutt, Travis Tritt, Music/VinceGill, Joe Diffie, Music/ClintBlack, and Music/GarthBrooks.
