So the band The Angels from Australia released a song years ago called 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again'. Not exactly a ballad, but kinda heartfelt lyrics about typical boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl song. However, over the years, fans of the song have added their own chorus of "No Way, Get F*cked, F*ck Off!!" Here, take a listen...
As I understand it, the band never intended this to happen nor did they encourage it early on, but it just happened. Whenever they played it live, or if someone played this on the jukebox in the pub, you're obligated to sing that chorus. I find that hilarious! The only other time I can think of something similar is the Billy Idol version of 'Mony, Mony' where folks have taken to yell "Get Laid, Get F*cked" during the chorus.
Do you know of any other rock/metal songs where the fans have improvised and added their own twist to a chorus and it's become part of the song?

Yea, this is the first one I thought of. I fondly remember the shocked looks on the faces of every teacher/chaperone at every high school dance I attended when the crowd chanted "HEY! Get laid, get f***ed!" during Billy's "Mony Mony."
I always wondered where/ when/how that bit originated. To this day if I hear that song on the radio I always mutter that bit of "improv" under my breath

I did think of another one, sort of.
AC/DC's 'Whole Lotta Rosie'. During the opening riff, fans have taken to chant "ANGUS!". Not quite on the level of The Angels or Billy Idol, but still.

I can't think of any "lyrically" but I know that people in a live setting harmonize/ chant along with both The Hellion and Fear of the Dark. I know I first heard the chant for Fear of the Dark on Rock In Rio but I can't remember where I first heard the Hellion intro, though.
