Please Do Me Like That- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
I make a distinction between answer songs and sequels. An answer song is a response to a previous song, usually by a different artist, whereas a sequel continues the story from an earlier song, often by the same artist. Some sequels that spring to mind:
Jimmy Dean - “Big John” followed by “Cajun Queen” and “Little Bitty Big John”
The Midnighters - “Work With Me Annie” followed by “Annie Had a Baby” etc etc
The Angels - “My Boyfriend’s Back” then “The Guy With the Black Eye”
The Hollywood Argyles - “Alley Oop” then “Alley Oop Was a One-Dab Man”
The Royal Guardsmen - “Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron” then the entire first half of their second album
The Cadillacs - “Speedo” then “Speedo is Back”
Seventeen or Eighteen to Five - follows Chicago’s Twenty Five or Six to Four.
Life’s Been Not Quite so Good Lately - Joe Walsh
Motel Tijuana - The Eagles
I Got Life in Prison Even Though I Only Shot the Sherriff - Bob Marley
The Angel Didn’t Work Out. Send Me A Devil This Time - Garbage
Baby Got More Back - Sir Mix-A-Lot
You’d think he would get time off for not shooting the Deputy. 
I’d have gone with something like Actually, I Didn’t Shoot the Sherriff Either, I Swear (The Mumia Abu Jamal Song).
Actual sorta kinda sequel or follow-up. In the mid-90s, in a song called Eden Is Burning, John Mellencamp looked in on Jack and Diane, those two American kids from the heartland who were wont to sit outside Tastee Freezes and dribble off their Bobbie Brooks. They weren’t getting along so well, bitching at each over a Richard Pryor movie, as I recall.
Sir Rhosis
Life Smacked my Around now I Wear a Suit and Vote Tory follow-up to Mother Nature’s Son
Monkey Bars follow-up to Helter Skelter
What the Hell was I Smoking? follow-up to Revolution 9
All from the second half of the White Album.
One or two others I happened to think of …
King of Extra-Strength Tylenol – Police
Yo, Roxanne, Get That Red Light Back Out, Bitch – Sequel to the Police original by some rap group.
Driving With My License Suspended, Driving With My License Revoked, and finally Doing Hard Time For Driving Without A License – Series of sequels to Sammy Hagar’s I Can’t Drive 55.
Pretty Woman Slapped Me Down Hard – Roy Orbison
Hmm… I picked a theme (Van Halen):
Evacuation (Sequel to Eruption)
Slim-Fast Man (Sequel to Ice Cream Man)
Don’t Make Me Count to Three (Sequel to Right Now)
And, a little-known PREquel:
A Man, A Plan, A Canal (Prequel to Panama)
“Bo Diddley” is followed up–with every song Bo Diddley ever made. Not that it is bad mind you.
Also Buddy Holly had to follow “Peggy Sue” with the sad news “Peggy Sue got Married”.
Made up Ones:
“911 Ain’t a Joke Anymore” by Flava Flav
“Queen of Rock” by Latifah.
“Satellite Radio Ga Ga” by Queen
“Old Americans, or Let’s Sit” by Bowie
It’s Fall, the Boys Are Gone, Y’know, I Was Wrong* - Don Henley (Boys of Summer)
Refund Time - Beatles (Tax Man)
Actually, I’m More Chaotic Neutral - Metallica (Am I Evil)
Now I’m in OAC - Barenaked Ladies (Grade Nine) (Hey, they ARE from Ontario.)
California Reality (Isn’t As Good As I Remeber It) - The Mamas and The Papas (California Dreamin’)
This thread has me cracking up! (Laughed out loud at Ponder Stibbons, kantaloopi, and Marley23.) I’ll try a few.
I’ve Had Enough Now - Depeche Mode
OK, Now Take Your Hat Off Already - Tom Jones (and others)
Send in the Cream Pie Clean-up Crew - Judy Collins
Who Are You Again? - Sarah McLachlan’s follow-up to I Will Not Forget You
Augh! I’m Being Attacked By Ants! - Def Leppard’s follow-up to Pour Some Sugar On Me
Napster Killed the Video Star - The Buggles
Went to the Homeless Shelter - Living in a Box
Tolerable Autumn - Bananarama
Gonna Make You Shower - C & C Music Factory
Boys & Girls Club - Village People
Upon reflection, perhaps a system less draconian than a democratic constitutional monarchy while* still *maintaining a central authority in the UK - The Sex Pistols
neofishboy, I considered doing that song, but I’m glad I didn’t because you topped anything I could come up with.
Some more while I’m in a weird mood:
And, hey, let’s see if I can make these so people know what songs I’m sequelling, without my posting them.
…But Girls Need To Be Serious, Sometimes - Cyndi Lauper
If I Had Charged More, I Could Post Bail - AC/DC
I Finally Picked Off That Damn Deputy - An assload of people, Clapton among them.
Don’t Sing With Your Mouth Full - Crash Test Dummies
OK, Potter, You Missed Your Chance - Switchblade Kittens (I had to include this one…it’s been on endless repeat for days.)
Hokkaido Days - Puffy AmiYumi
Damn…Definitely a Dude - Aerosmith
Janis Ian doing a follow-up to “At Seventeen” called “At Fifty-two”.
For those who don’t get it, last year in Canada Janis Ian married her female lover Patricia Snyder in Canada. Janis was married to a man named Tino Sargo from 1978-1983. She’s obviously “learned the truth” about love since her earlier years.
(And before anyone jumps in and corrects me, yes I know that the song “At Seventeen” was hardly autobiographical. Janis Ian is my favorite musical artist. Janis had dropped out of school before the age of 17, and wasn’t even living with her parents.)
Diabetes, Diabetes by the Archies
Quit Banging That Darn Drum! by Sonny and Cher
Come On Baby, Give Me The Fire Extinguisher by the Doors
Get Outta My House by Rosemary Clooney
Venus As A Middle-Aged Guy by Bjork
Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man by Edgar Winter

I guess David Bowie’s “Ashes to Ashes” is a sequel to “Space Oddity”; we finally learn the truth about that Major Tom!
Bowie failed to follow up on most of his other songs though, so there was sadly never “The Man Who Attempted to Return the World, But Had to Settle for an Exchange” or “Rock and Roll Funeral”.
Thinking of songs with titles that begin with “Rock and Roll”, The Ramones’ “Rock and Roll High School” has obvious sequel potential. (Let’s not get into the subject of the sequel to the movie of the same name.) There could be various rock institutions of higher learning, perhaps culminating with “Rock and Roll Med School”.
I could swear I once read a Pearl Jam interview where the band members joked about doing a sequel to “Jeremy”. Maybe they could call it “Jeremy II: The Undead”, although “Jeremy II: Now He Won’t Shut Up in Class” might be good too.
I’d love to hear AC/DC do “Ironically, My Penis Is Quite Small”.
