Most music buffs are familiar with the long and illustrious history of 'answer records'; "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" answering "The Wild Side Of Life," "Sweet Home Alabama," answering "Southern Man,' and the whole subgenre of hip-hop feud records. But there's some others...I give you The Least Necessary Answer Records Of All Time (yes, they are for real)[More:]

Stay At Home Sue - Linda Laurie (who had a minor hit with the brilliantly weird 'Ambrose')

I'll Let You Hold My Hand - The Bootles

and the grand prize winner: Yes, Im Lonesome Tonight - Dodie Stevens (she had a hit with 'Tan Shoes And Pink Shoelaces')

(as a bonus, here's an answer record that's actually pretty good: Louise Brown with Son-In-Law
, an answer to Ernie K-Doe's R&B classic 'Mother-In-Law.')
I don't know but I don't think Bobby every answered Syd Barret's "Bob Dylan Blues"
