Dicdef, unlikely to expand. This is starting to creep its way back into being a duplicate of the deleted List of answer songs. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 04:13, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, it is not even a widely used term. [tk]   XANDERLIPTAK  07:15, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's not used so much anymore, but it is historically important. There are plenty of references in print. Somebody should be a watchdog and make sure that the examples list doesn't get out of hand. I think there's plenty of information to be added; for instance when Lieber/Stoller threatened to sue Sam Phillips over "Bear Cat".&mdash; Chowbok  ☠  08:41, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * keep notable theme in popular music. Incidentally Smokey Robinson's first record "Got a Job" was an answer record, and FURB was an answer record that hit number 1 in the UK...notable? Looks that way. Totnesmartin (talk) 18:45, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep' provided that some sources are found for the term itself and not just for records which are answer songs.--Salix (talk): 22:03, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
