When Audience Participation and music meet, this is the result. A song, especially a live one, where the audience is expected to sing part of the lyrics. Follow the Bouncing Ball may come into play here. Usually accomplished by having a repeated part in the song, which is first sung by the band and then they signal for the audience to repeat it. The artists will often hold their microphone toward the audience. Responsible for the Other Stock Phrases "All together now!", "I can't hear you!", "Make some noise!", "Gimme a(n) (Letter)! Gimme a(n) (Letter)! Gimme a(n) (Letter)!" and "When I say A, you say B! A! (B!) A! (B!)". Sometimes it leads to Audience Participation Failure. See also Call-and-Response Song. |

Their cover of "Land of Confusion" requires a chorus of voices shouting "wha-oh!" in between verses (otherwise bassist John Moyer has to somehow fill this place alone). It's also customary to raise one's fist in the air during the end of Ten Thousand Fists' chorus (the lyrics are literally shouting "Ten Thousand Fists in the air!"). | |

KT Tunstall tries to prevent this after the audience worked out how her loop pedal worked and realised that if they shouted an obscenity loud enough at the right moment, it'd be repeated through the whole song. | |

German bardic metal band Blind Guardian have such a rabid fanbase that they incorporate this into their songs- they record their songs with layered choral parts that the crowd sings live, turning every song into Audience participation. The most impressive examples are "The Bard's Song," which live is sung almost entirely by the audience, and this version of "Valhalla," where the crowd keeps going after they finish the song. Both songs can be seen back-to-back here. | |

Metallica's "Master of Puppets" is usually performed with the audience singing part of the chorus. Recently, as can be seen on Français Pour Une Nuit, they've started singing the melodic instrumental section as well. The "Exit light, enter night" bit of "Enter Sandman" is invariably sung as a call and response. Yes, even in the cello ensemble cover. The Ominous Chanting from "The Memory Remains". And, lest we forget, "Creeping Death". DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!... Hetfield: Searchin'! Crowd: Seek and destroy! Rinse, repeat. The middle section in their instrumental 'Suicide and Redemption'. SHOW! YOUR! SCARS! in "Broken, Beat, and Scarred." |

Good Kid: When the band plays "Witches" live, they'll have the audience sing the chorus ("We talked, we talked about it all night / We thought, we thought we'd make it alive") with them. During live performances of "Down With The King", the band has the audience sing the accompaniment ("Down with the king! Down with the king!" and "You are so cruel! You are so cruel!"). |

"Der Tanz der Vampire" from the show of the same name was not written to be like this, but its relatively rock concert atmosphere compared to the rest of the show has given it this kind of status. The audience participation probably began with the "We Will Rock You"-esque chant at the end, but it spread to the whole song. Check it out! | |

Faith No More: One of the reasons they caught a lucky break having "Epic" as their big hit, not just because the lyrics were so fun to toy with, is the interactive potential of the song's infamous breakdown ("What?! Is?! It?!" "What the fuck is it?!" "What is it, kiddies?!"). "Be Aggressive" is another favorite in this regard, as there's nothing more awesome than hearing a big crowd comprised predominantly of heterosexual males scream "I swallow! I swallow! I swallow! I swallow!" The audience singing the chorus to "Midlife Crisis" (You're perfect! Yes, it's true! But, without meeeeee, you're only you!) became a staple of their reunion tour. |

For a particularly strange example, Sabaton brought Radio Tapok, a Russian-language cover artist whom they had helped make a cover of "Attack of the Dead Men", onstage to perform his cover live in Moscow (which the band later released as a single). The audience didn't miss a beat and sang right along to the homemade Russian lyrics. | |

Razzberry Jazzberry Jam: The Jazzberries do this in-universe at the end of “The Forever Song�, as they briefly leave their audience repeating the titular unending tune while they have a backstage chat, before coming back out and ending the song. “When You Call�, from the episode “Calling All Jazzberries�, is also one, as the in-universe audience is brought into the song’s call-and-response pattern. |

The Tsukiuta series thrived on these in the days before COVID. Many of their songs have callouts that the fans all just know, such as "So Fast!/So Vast!" and so on in Gravitic Love. In addition, all of the units have a call and response catch phrase, and many of the actors created ones for themselves as well. | |

The main verse to Disturbed's "Stupify" seems tailor-made to a call-and-response relationship between the band and crowd. The singer shouts "All the people in the left wing FUCK" to the response from the left section. After that is the right wing (right section), the high rise (the upper gallery or higher seats), the underground (lower front area or mosh-pit) all shouting "FUCK" back to the band. The lead singer, David Draiman, encourages this. Their cover of "Land of Confusion" requires a chorus of voices shouting "wha-oh!" in between verses (otherwise bassist John Moyer has to somehow fill this place alone). It's also customary to raise one's fist in the air during the end of Ten Thousand Fists' chorus (the lyrics are literally shouting "Ten Thousand Fists in the air!"). The band's Signature Song, "Down With the Sickness", is best known for what David Draiman calls a monkey growl ("ooh-WAH-AH-AH-AH!"). The band, knowing people are going to replicate that sound in concert, sometimes stops playing and turns off all the stage lights when they get to it as a gag. |

Sabaton's fans are such nerds that at least half the audience is typically singing along on any given song, but they encourage it on several songs. Joakim always thrusts his mic out to the audience several times during the chorus of "Ghost Division". The live versions of "Uprising" and "Carolus Rex" often insert an extra beat between the bridge and closing chorus to let the audience shout out respectively "War-saw!" and "I was chosen by heaven!" The audience also usually sings the closing "Warszawo, walcz!" on "Uprising". On the Heroes live album from the Sabaton Cruise, Joakim invites the Swedish-speaking members of the audience to sing the first half of the first verse of "En livstid i krig" all by themselves, to rebut claims he's heard that the Swedish crowds are lame. For a particularly strange example, Sabaton brought Radio Tapok, a Russian-language cover artist whom they had helped make a cover of "Attack of the Dead Men", onstage to perform his cover live in Moscow (which the band later released as a single). The audience didn't miss a beat and sang right along to the homemade Russian lyrics. The intro of Swedish Pagans. |

About a year after A Very Potter Musical went viral, Team Starkid were at the Azkatraz convention. A bunch of them (Darren Criss, Joey Richter, Matt Lang, Brian Holden, and Dylan Saunders, namely) were hanging out in the lobby, playing songs from it for the fans. Cue up "Get Back to Hogwarts", Joey telling everyone to sing along, and Darren being all verklempt that people know the lyrics to his songs. | |

A presentation about Touhou Project at an animé convention demonstrated that "Marisa Stole the Precious Thing" is such a song, apparently. On a related note, who doesn't get the urge to swing their arms while yelling "ERIN! ERIN!"? The equally catchy song Usatei now has a band version, also done by COOL&CREATE. This trope is practically a given. |

Sonata Arctica's lead singer, Tony Kakko, usually leads the crowd in a sing-along in the middle of concerts to give the rest of the band a rest. Sometimes this is a rousing Old McDonald Had A Farm and other times he assigns each section of the audience a drum sound to mimic and proceeds to play "We Will Rock You" on the crowd. He also leads the crowd in singing the 'ohhh-oh-oh' bits in songs such as "My Land" by pointing up or down depending on where the pitch goes next. It is also absolutely required for the audience to shout 'Run away! Run away Run away!' during "Fullmoon". Not to mention that he closes every single show by getting the crowd to sing with him "We need some vodka" to the tune of Hava Nagila |

AC/DC's song "Thunderstruck" is a popular audience participation song at concerts with the audience joining in shouting "Thunder!!!" in several parts of the song, especially the opening and later singing, "Na-ah, Na, Na-ah, na, na". During live performances of "Whole Lotta Rosie", it is customary for the audience for the audience to shout "Angus!" during the intro each time Angus Young plays the riff. The chant originated in their first live album If You Want Blood You Got It, where producers Harry Vanda and George Young cut out a recording of the audience chanting and dubbed it on top of the intro to "Rosie". |

KoRn's "Y'all Want a Single" live with the audience screaming back "Fuck that!" or "FUCK THAT SHIT!" (depending on which half of the song it is) in reply to Davis' "Y'all want a single say..."...Mass Cluster F Bomb. While they don't have very many examples, "ADIDAS" has two. Audiences often shout back "FUCK!" in response to the first "I don't know your fuckin' name..." in each verse to have it match the second and, after the bridge, Davis often goads them into singing one of the alternate "All day I dream about..."s before screaming "FUCKIIING!" back in reply. |

Nile has quite a few of these, as the songs often feature repeating chants, which lyricist Karl Sanders said was an attempt to call to mind a semi-ritualistic nature in keeping with the Egyptian sounding music. During some songs, particularly "4th Arra of Dagon" and "Black Seeds of Vengeance", the band will actually step away from the microphones, and simply chant along with the crowd (which is often just as loud as the band itself). Lots of songs also feature sections where the audience is encouraged to chant rhythmically to the beat of the music, usually just some form of shouting. The result is quite cool. | |

The iconic song "Are 'Friends' Electric?" is a mainstay of Gary Numan's live performances.

Foo Fighters concerts are basically 2 and a half hour invocations of this trope. Oftentimes the audience sings louder than Dave does, especially during "Best of You", "Times like These", "Rope" (during the "CHOKE! On a kiss, save my breath for you!" part of the chorus), "Learn to Fly", "Arlandria" (Dave does a stop and go portion in the middle of the song, encouraging the crowd to yell along with the guitar chords) and of course "Everlong". Not to mention that for quite a few years, they wouldn't play "Big Me" in concert because fans would throw Mentos candies at the band when they performed the song. (Its music video is an extended parody of then-current Mentos commercials.) Dave remarked that being hit by the candies was "like being stoned" (no, not that kind of stoned), adding "Those little … things are like pebbles – they hurt." |

Jambands have more unusual audience participation because people see them so many times. Reactions can evolve over the years as fans see them again and again. Phish are the most extreme example. Sometimes it's just singing along ("and we love to take a bath," the "Whooo"'s in "Twist", the "Oh yeah!" in "Fluffhead", the "Wilson" chant in, well, "Wilson") but a few more involved reactions are the audience clapping along to the drum fill in "Stash." Fishman hasn't played the woodblock fill since the early '90s since it just gets drowned out by the clapping, but everyone still does it. At the 1996 Red Rocks show a fan-created flyer was handed out asking people to scream, "Hood," after the band sang, "Harry," in "Harry Hood." 13 years later, fans are still doing it. The band also got into the game. They had a secret language for the fans. Certain riffs could be played in the middle of a jam that would mean various things. "The Simpsons Theme" was a cue for the fans to scream, "D'oh." A series of falling notes means that everyone should fall down. "Turn Turn Turn" would lead to everyone turning around and facing the soundboard. The language hasn't been explained since 1992 and signals have become rarer and rarer, but they were played as late as 2000 and fans still responded to them. A non-Phish jamband example - Widespread Panic had people throw lighters at the band after the line, "Somebody throw me a fire," in "Big Wooly Mammoth." They actually had to stop singing the line for their own safety. |

Slade had "Get Down and Get With It", "Cum On Feel The Noize" and many others. They even recorded a version of "Okey Cokey". One particularly heartwarming moment of audience participation came at their Career Resurrecting gig at the 1980 Reading Festival when the crowd started shouting for "Merry Xmas Everybody" - in August. Noddy Holder told the crowd "You want it? You sing it!"... and the crowd did. The recording of the crowd singing was used as the intro to Slade's Christmas EP that year. | |

Every Iron Maiden album has at least one "Woah-woah" bit that the audience can sing along to—for instance, "The Trooper". Iron Maiden fans will sing along to everything, especially in well-known "anthem" songs. This includes not only choruses but verses, riffs, and even solos. Especially in "Fear of the Dark": the band could pretty much stay silent for the first minute or so and nobody would notice. During the song "Run to the Hills", singer Bruce Dickinson has always had the crowd sing the second half of the line "Out on the plains...we gave them hell". Rush (Band) is very similar. At one point in Rush In Rio, the crowd sang along to "YYZ"... which is an instrumental. Also, expect people in the audience to play air drums—and play them closer to the original studio recording than whatever is being played live. The did the same for "La Villa Strangiato" — another instrumental—letting out a "Yeah/Hey!" every time a certain riff comes up. And for "Temples of Syrinx" — not an instrumental, but the part people cheer along to doesn't have any words. |

South Park: In the 25th Anniversary Concert, during "It's Easy, M'kay", Trey (Mr. Mackey) asks the audience to agree not to say the word "fuck". While most of the audience responds, "Okay, Mr. Mackey!" as prompted, a few are heard saying "Fuck you!" or "Fuck off!" | |

On the Soul Music soundtrack album, two choruses of the stadium rock pastiche "The Messenger" are sung by a distant crowd, presumably the audience at the Hide Park Free Festival. It even has the bit where Buddy suddenly comes back in on the last line. | |

Robbie Williams's audience participation, especially "Angels" (at Live 8, the audience sung pretty much the entire song), was parodied by Lee Mack in December 2007 on Live at the Apollo: | |

Strong Bad's live remix of "Everybody to the Limit" on the Homestar Runner CD Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits includes two parts like this; the first has him instruct the audience to sing "Come on, Fhqwhgads! I say come on, Fhqwhgads!" loud enough "the people in East Reykjavik" can hear them, then near the end, he does some call-and-response. | |

Queen would have the whole audience singing along to "Love of My Life" in their live concerts - usually the song would be performed mid-show as just a vocals-and-guitar duet between Freddie Mercury and Brian May, and as the audience sang all the lyrics together Freddie would stop singing now and then & let the crowd carry the song. One gets the impression that this was to give the band (except Brian) a bit of a break. | |

Comedian Stephen Lynch does this in his song "Superhero", asking audience members to suggest hero names. (Results include Valtrex Boynote "Isn't that the herpes medicine?" and Buttsex Mannote "The world's most effective superhero!".) | |

Ghost incorporates a lot of vocal parts sung by a church choir into their songs. The audience is often requested to sing these parts during live shows. | |

Rage Against the Machine-"Killing in the Name" ends with the repeated line "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!" which seems tailor-made for audience participation. This was a problem when Biffy Clyro tried covering the song for a live performance that was being broadcast on a national radio station at lunchtime. The band agreed to just sing the melody during that line and so make it expletive free. The audience didn't. |

In the live version of Manzo's "My Pace Daioh" (the theme from Genshiken), the audience, rather than the band, does the "Ay ay ay!" shouting. | |

Given Friends stuck "I'll Be There For You" into the heads of a lot of people, The Rembrandts make sure to exploit it live, with both the claps at the opening and at a certain point turning the chorus into call and response (note how a few don't know the line...). | |

ZP Theart of DragonForce, Tobias Sammet of Edguy, Marco Hietala of Nightwish and Tarot, and many other vocalists have admitted to using calls for audience participation to hide spots where they've forgotten the lyrics. | |

Rammstein played with this in their song "Ich Will", the song is about being misunderstood, and the "audience" responses during the chorus are muddled shouts to illustrate this. It can somehow be exaggerated by the fact the crowd's lyrics aren't said by Till and that that the crowd isn't asked to answer during the show, so you only know that you are supposed to answer when you are supposed to answer and what you are supposed to answer. Bilingual Bonus: The chorus lyrics literally mean "Can you hear me? (We hear you!) Can you see me? (We see you!) Can you feel me? (We feel you!) I CAN'T HEAR YOU!". By no means the only song that fills this trope. During live performances of "Du hast", Till Lindemann falls silent and lets the audience sing the chorus by themselves. |
