I know there are many rap songs contaning “disses” of other rappers, and the fueds carry on off of the albums as well in many cases. I recently listened to a song called FURB, by a singer named Frankee, which was a response to a song about her by her ex-boyfriend. I think there’s a third song in this soap opera. It’s not a genre I normally listen to. What other examples of battles within a song are there? The only one coming to mind is Lynard Skynard slamming Neil Young in “Sweet Home Alabama (?)”. ---

And Warren Zevon entered the “fray” with “Play it All Night Long.” Note that Lynryd Skynyrd considered “Sweet Home Alabama” as a joke and weren’t serious about dissing Neil Young. Matthew Fisher expressed his dislike for Procul Harum’s “A Whiter Shade of Pale” in his “Going for a Song.” Fisher was with Procul Harum and just got sick and tired of having to play it; he commented on that in his first solo album. ---

See kids the proper way to post on the SDMB is to post first, then read the OP. :smack: Ok, non-Rap, I give you David Allen Coe: Graphic, hence the spoiler tags [spoiler]Well, old Harry Reams fall apart at the seams when he saw me fuck that whore. She sucked my dick and swallowed my nuts, and I still hollered for more. She sucked my asshole, she sucked my toes, she’s the suckinest bitch alive. I made her call up two more cunts, and friend that at no jive. She don’t give me no shit about being no big time lover. Some movie star with a jag. Cause you ain’t shit… If you can’t get Linda lovelace to gag. [/spoiler]:eek:
