* In ''Lestat'', TheMusical of ''InterviewWithTheVampire'' and ''The Vampire Lestat'', "Embrace It" is an argument song between Louis and Lestat about giving in to vampirism.
* "Fugue for Tinhorns" from ''GuysAndDolls'' is three guys arguing about the different tips they have on horse racing.
* "Another Day" from ''{{Rent}}''.  Mimi wants to go out and party with Roger and some heroin, but he wants to stay home and brood with his guitar.  Also "Take Me Or Leave Me". Maureen is slutty and her girlfriend Joanne is controlling.
* ''JesusChristSuperstar'' has "Everything's Alright", which has Mary Magdalene telling Jesus to relax, Judas saying that they should be helping the poor instead of relaxing, and Jesus saying they should all concentrate on the future.
* ''{{Evita}}'' has a lot: "Eva, Beware of the City": Eva wants to go to the Big City, Magaldi says she's too young. "A New Argentina": Eva thinks her husband should be politically ambitious, he's less sure. "The Actress Hasn't Learned the Lines (You'd Like to Hear)": Aristocrats don't approve of the lower-class Eva. "Waltz for Eva and Che" has Eva arguing with her narrator about whether the ends justify the means.
* ''Song And Dance'' has several, including the oft-reprised "Take That Look Off Your Face", though this is a one-woman show and all the responses to her arguments are unheard by the audience.
* ''AspectsOfLove'' has a few; the show is through-sung, so a lot of the arguments are not proper songs but more recitative: One that stands out as a full song is "She'd Be Far Better off with You", George and Alex fighting over Rose.
