ROXANNE'S REVENGE-ROXANNE SHANTE The "Roxanne Saga" is the first thing I thought of before I opened this thread. There was..... Roxanne, Roxanne - UTFO Roxanne's Revenge - Roxanne Shante The Real Roxanne - The Real Roxanne Queen Of Rox - Roxanne Shante Sparky's Turn (Roxanne You're Through) - Sparky Dee Then too many folks went overboard with it and ran it in the ground. Records started coming out like "Roxanne's A Man".  Andy is a four letter word. | |

I don't remember an answer record to Billie Jean. I do remember a record the next year called "Do It Again/Billie Jean" by Slingshot which was kind of a remake of the music to "Billie Jean" covered with the lyrics to an old Steely Dan song.

Nope not that one but out just after. I used have that 12" - probably sitting in my 12" collection crates . . . I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

Me and Mrs. Jones - Billy Paul
I forget the name of the answer song by some chick, but I love that mess.
I don't know if it's even a whole song so much as random rambling at some show. | |

Not strictly an "answer record", but Nick Lowe's "All Men Are Liars" references Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up":

The first one I thought of was Billie Jean but I can't remember the woman who did the answer record. yeah I have seen the lady's response to billy jean somewhere. I have one version by someone who did the billy jean/stealy dan versio too. but in support of what vain andy is saying about the damn roxanne thing--yup it went overboard. kind of nice that you know about sparky d. woman to woman, how many answers was there to that song? anyone? nipsy | |

chewwsey said: woman to woman, how many answers was there to that song? anyone? Reportedly, there were quite a few released soon after Woman To Woman came out. Outside of the Barbara Mason response I mentioned, the only other one i'm aware of is Man To Woman by Lonnie Youngblood (an early employer of Jimi Hendrix). Another set that comes to mind. Get A Job - The Silhouettes Got A Job - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles Ran across an interesting album on the subject...

I remember it It's called "Superstar" and it's by a female singer named Lydia Murdock.Released in 1983,it has the same beat as MJ's song,with a chorus that goes....
I'm Billie Jean and I'm mad as hell I'm a woman with a story to tell Superstar...you know just who you are Superstar....you know just who you are Our local R&B station used to play his song and her song,back to back It was up to the listener to decide who was lying and who was telling the truth,lol.[Edited 6/24/08 6:35am] | |
