ANSWER SONG TITLES
If you remember Neil Young’s songs “Southern Man” from 1970 and “Alabama” from 1972, you may also recall that Lynyrd Skynyrd took offense to the songs’ common theme. So they replied with the answer song “Sweet Home Alabama” in 1974. The song titles listed below appear to be statements that could have triggered various responses from other artists. Nobody has actually responded to them but that premise inspired me to pick other songs that could’ve easily been answer songs based solely on their titles.
