Many songs have been written in response to previous songs. I know several of these.
Your Challenge - Post the original song and then post the response song. Two posts, you could get two likes out of this.

I'll start,
El- Paso, Marty Robbins.

I don't know much about rap music, but there's gotta be some back and forth between some rap artists. Probably some of the pop princesses too. I know they've had some social media spats, some of that has probably spilled over into their songs. Can't really think of an example though.

A Thousand Miles Away by the Heartbeats, 1957. The answer: Daddy's Home by Shep and the Limelites, 1961. The same person wrote and sang lead on both songs. James "Shep" Shepherd.

This isn't exactly a challenge response, but a song that very specifically references another song. The artists are friends that have collaborated, so it's not a rivalry thing.

Not exactly a "challenge" but a song and a response. The First is "Are You Ready to be Heartbroken" by Lloyd Cole and the second is "Lloyd, I'm Ready to be Heartbroken" written by Tracyanne Chapman and performed by Camera Obscura.

Nice catch there, Doowop. Worthy of your hallowed name!
