| Call-and-Response Song | comment |
Call-and-response is a form of music sung by (or at least from the perspective of) two or more people. Rather than sing the same part or do different verses, one person sings a statement, the other gives a reply to it. While this usually goes on until the end of the song, sometimes only a few lines in a verse are done this way. Though it doesn't necessarily have to be, often the lines in question are a musical argument of sorts. The form arose in Africa and was brought to America by slaves; it later found its way into jazz, blues, and rock. One of the earliest popular musicians to use it was Cab Calloway in his Signature Song "Minnie the Moocher". Nowadays it's usually considered a sub-trope of Let's Duet, although some are also Crowd Songs. Fairly common in Rock Operas and Concept Albums. Many military songs are done in this style, too. Due to their nature, they often overlap with Audience Participation Song. If possible, please elaborate a bit on your examples. While just the lines themselves are fine, having what's being talked about in them as well is better. |

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. | |

Steven Universe: The title song of the Musical Episode "Mr. Greg", performed when Greg, Steven, and Pearl arrive at a ritzy hotel in Empire City to spend some of his $10 million in royalties, has call and response first between the head waiter and the other waiters, then between Pearl and Steven plus Greg. The Movie has "No Matter What", a song that Steven sings to a memory-wiped Amethyst to help her remember everything they've done together. In-universe, the call-and-response part is justified by Amethyst having been reduced to a Blank Slate, who can only repeat the words she hears. As her memories return near the end of the song, she adds new lines of her own. |

The Lord of the Rings: "The Ent and the Entwife" is written as a back-and-forth duet between a male and a female Ent. In the first four verses, the two alternate between the Ent pleading for the Entwife to join him in his forests and the Entwife rebuffing him and instead praising her farmlands. The last two verses instead discuss the world's eventual death, with the Ent mourning the death of forests and the Entwife the death of fields, before singing the last lines — a promise to find each other and seek a better land — in harmony. The Lament for Boromir is formatted as a version of this where the singers ask the West, South and North Winds for news of Boromir, with the main speaker singing a question, the wind singing a reply, and the main speaker singing a response. The first two winds deny any knowledge of Boromir's fate and tell the singer to ask the North Wind, who in turn reports Boromir's death. |

David Lee Roth's version of "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody" features this towards the end, basically with the backup singers repeating everything he says. And so on. This is actually copied directly from Louis Prima's recording of the same medley, of which Roth's version is a surprisingly faithful Cover Version. |

We Are All Pokémon Trainers: The Reverian cues, more colloquially known as "ozzies" (especially in Galar). To elaborate- starting in 2018, one of the characters in WAAPT, Colton Kendall Rever would often perform call-and-response lyrical cues with his Pokemon while they were performing a Z-Move or Mega Evolution. The classic format, used during most battles, is: After the Final Shell, the practice was phased out, and ultimately abandoned, by its originator; it was promptly handed over to Goldenheart388, who added in an Audience Participation aspect of it. The main format, under her usage and always when in a stadium, is: That being said, in situations where there is no audience, the format is the same as that of the original. The call-and-response cue was referred to as a "Reverian cue", named after its originator, by Leonard Braker; over time in the RP it gets shortened to "RC" and later gets corrupted by Galarian audiences due to a mishearing and British accent puns as "an ozzie". It spreads, and eventually the phrase "GIVE US AN OZZIE" is getting screamed at stadiums left and right by fans towards anyone who uses a Z-Ring, Mega Stone, or Tera Orb. |

The "Plagues" song from The Prince of Egypt is a back-and-forth between Moses and Ramses 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. | |

South Park: Parodied in "Put It Down". Cartman interrupts a school announcement on distracted driving to sing his own attention-seeking anti-suicide song "Eric, We Don't Want You to Die". He complains about his life and declares his intent to commit suicide. He thinks everyone will be begging him not to do it, so the chorus consists of pre-recorded kids' voices saying "Eric, we don't want you to die! / Eric, give life a try! / Eric, oh God no, Eric!" In practice, nobody sings along and just stares at him blankly. Cartman even has to mime someone saying one of the lines: "Eric, we don't want you to die! / You're so cool! / We'd be sad at school!" | |

"America" from West Side Story uses this. In the version revised for the movie, the characters taking turns being the Caller and Responder. The original version just had Rosalia as caller and Anita as responder. To be more specific, the movie basically divides it into men as the callers and the women as responders (or vice versa, depending on the stanza). |
