There's a similar (but different) type which is called "Call-and-Answer Songs" HERE. "Many French folksongs are sung in a call-and-answer style. Each verse contains two lines and (usually) a French equivalent of "tra la la". Each successive verse starts with the last last line of the previous verse, (usually) repeats it, and introduces a new line. Thus a leader can sing the new line at the end of each verse and the whole group can sing the rest."
