this is pretty common in r&b/hip-hop and you'll probably see an example on most mixtapes, the various female responses to chris brown's "loyal" were brilliant last year

The rewritten/expanded lyrics of A New England that original songwriter Billy Bragg did for Kirsty MacColl's cover is a relevant example here. (Subsequently performed live by Bragg with female duet partners as an in-song answer record.)

The Etta James cover of Only Women Bleed surely qualifies here, right.
