comment
A Musical trope, and subtrope of Let's Duet. Two characters, or occasionally more, get into an argument which they conduct in song, possibly by Volleying Insults. In keeping with the genre conventions of musicals, the quarrel will normally be a major plot point, else why would it merit a song? A sister trope to Counterpoint Duet and Call-and-Response Song, with which it may overlap.
Although mainly confined to musicals, operas and adaptations thereof, a Quarreling Song may appear in other media as part of a Musical Episode. A Quarreling Song will rarely, if ever, be a work or episode's only song. Battle Rapping can be this.

Anna and the Apocalypse has two of these. The first is "Which Side Are You On?", a duet between Tony and Mr. Savage on whether they should go out and help any stranded survivors outside. The second one is "Give Them A Show", another duet sung by Anna and Mr. Savage during the climax of the movie, as they argue their own personal philosophies while Anna battles a horde of zombies to save her dad.

The Act 1 finale in The Grand Duke centers around a staged quarrel of the Volleying Insults type, sung in duet with chorus, between the titular Grand Duke and a man who is scheming to overthrow him. This leads to an equally staged nonlethal duel, which in turn sets the stage for the events of Act II.

The Pirates of Penzance has two operatic quarreling duets:
The first act has "Oh, false one, you have deceived me," for Frederick and Ruth, when he realizes that she is old and no longer beautiful, which is treated as Serious Business.
The second act has "Stay, Frederick, stay," in which Mabel unsuccessfully tries to persuade Frederick from putting Honor Before Reason and making a Face–Heel Turn.

Jesus Christ Superstar: in "Everything's Alright", Mary Magdalene tries to stop Jesus and Judas from arguing, telling Jesus to relax. Judas says that they should be helping the poor instead of relaxing. Mary tries to get Jesus to ignore him, but he won't. And then the same thing happens during "The Last Supper", with Jesus shrieking for Judas to get out, and Judas, needing the last word, giving him a few lines of the title song, the solo he'll sing once they're both dead.

Hamilton has several (probably not surprising, considering the protagonist's personality):
Cabinet Battle #1 and Cabinet Battle #2 are classic Battle Rapping between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson about federal debt assumption and America's foreign policy of neutrality, respectively (It's Better Than It Sounds).
"Meet Me Inside" is an argument between George Washington and Hamilton about military command (and Hamilton's daddy issues).
"Your Obedient Servant" is the Passive-Aggressive Kombat version of this between Hamilton and Aaron Burr.
"Farmer Refuted" has Hamilton trying to debate Samuel Seabury and his opposition to the revolutionary war, but when the guy just keeps repeating himself without responding to him Hamilton gets bored and just starts mocking him outright instead.

Hazbin Hotel:
"Radio Killed the Video Star" has Stayed Gone, in which Vox reacts to Alastor's return by putting out a news report claiming the older demon Overlord is a washed-up hack, while Alastor puts out his own radio broadcast that manages to provoke a blackout-inducing temper tantrum from Vox in just a couple verses.
"Scrambled Eggs" has Respectless where Velvette tries to goad the Overlords into open war with the Exorcists while Carmilla advises caution and dismisses her as an arrogant upstart.
"Dad Beat Dad" has Hell's Greatest Dad, which starts as Lucifer singing about how he can help his daughter Charlie before Alastor butts in and starts competing for the role of "father figure". Towards the end, things have degenerated enough that they're on the brink of simply trading insults when a new figure, Mimsy, intrudes and promptly hijacks the song into her introducing herself as having arrived.

Guilty Conscience by Dr. Dre and Eminem is an interesting take on the idea, with the two rappers in the role of the proverbial angel and devil on the shoulder of characters caught up in a variety of situations. Subverted at the end (at least on the uncut version) where the "angel" Dre agrees with the "Devil" Em that the "protagonist" should kill both his cheating wife and the guy the protagonist just found her in bed with.

Central Park:
"Hat Luncheon": In "The Park Is Mine", Bitsy gets the politicians and socialites into a musical argument over the Park League's contract being frozen by city hall.
"Rival Busker": Griffin and Birdie sings "Too Close", where Griffin argues that Birdie's "way too close" to the Tillermans and should keep himself at a distance, giving examples of how getting "too close" physically (a window washer and an undressed person on the other side of the glass) or emotionally (a farmer's son who loves a pig that ends up being taken away by the father to be slaughtered for bacon) leads to discomfort and heartbreak. Birdie claims that none of the examples apply to him, the Tillermans are his family, and that he’s "never too close".

Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto has a leitmotif of this, with Cesare arguing complex viewpoints against other characters. It first comes up in the classroom scene, where he gets into a debate, first with Giovanni, then with Angelo, about the story of Ugolino from Dante's Inferno. Later, the same melody comes up when he and Giovanni are discussing the merits and drawbacks of their respective positions — Cesare being noble but illegitimate, Giovanni being rich but without title. Near the end, when Giovanni is being questioned in order to become a cardinal, Cesare brings up points he discussed in the previous scene when they were alone, and plays devil's advocate, making Giovanni defend himself. He's gained just enough depth to do it, but the 1990's-ballad style of his solo shows that he's still more or less an airhead.

Kendrick Lamar's "We Cry Together" is an infamously brutal take on the trope, consisting of Kendrick introducing the song as "what the world sounds like," kicking off a loud, messy argument between a couple (played by himself and Taylour Paige). Both of them are so heated and the language so profane and angry that the only stylisms that keep it a Quarreling Song is the flow and the fact it rhymes — it otherwise plays out like a genuinely toxic domestic dispute set to music.
