- Answer songs aka Response songs are made in answer to a previous song, normally performed by another artist.
- Answer songs are not necessarily adaptations! They are only adaptations of the root work if they use a part of the original music or the original lyrics.
- Example: Hurry, Mr. Peters is an answer song to AND an adaptation of Yes, Mr. Peters , because it shares the same melody.
- Counter-example: Hippie from Mississippi is an answer song to Okie from Muskogee , but not an adaptation of the latter, because it's a new (albeit inspired upon) composition.
