Line 2:
You've just heard a really rocking song, and at the end when you think it's over. Maybe you hear something that sounds like the engineer forgot to stop the recording and someone in the band says something funny. Maybe the genre of the [[Genre Shift|song all-of-a-sudden changes]]. Maybe the last line of the song is just so ridiculous sounding, that you fall out of your chair. That's the kind of thing that goes in this trope!
Remember: One Troper's '''Last Note Hilarity''' can be another Troper's [[Last-Note Nightmare]]. This can be compared to [[Last-Note Nightmare]] and [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Music.

Line 14:
** "Spy" is a catchy, jazzy song that ends with a few bars of comically discordant trumpet music that [[Overly Long Gag|seem to go on for way too long]].
* [[Maximum the Hormone]]'s "Koi No Megalover" is easily the coolest song ever written. Then at the end, one of the member screams something in Japanese (this Troper is American and only understands a few Japanese words) followed by the other members laughing.
** Another [[Maximum the Hormone]] example. The end of "What's Up People!?" the second [[
* [[XTC]]'s "Living Through Another Cuba" nearing in the latter half of the song Andy Partridge goes totally crazy and lyric start getting really weird until ending it with "Living through another Cu... BA!!" He screams the "BA!!" such emphasis, it could be a one syllable example of [[This Is Sparta]]!.
** In XTC's side project, [[The Dukes Of Stratosphear]], their song "My Love Explodes" features a very unusual one. It's what sounds like a phone message, where the following is said by somebody with a [[Woody Allen]]-imitating voice:

* "Strawberry Fields Forever:" there's a weird minute of weird sound after the song, where some people think they can hear John saying "I buried Paul" but offically he's saying "Cranberry sauce."
* "Get Back:" "I'd like to thank you all on behalf of ourselves and the group, and I hope we passed the audition."
Line 32:
* Them Crooked Vultures' Mind Eraser, No Chaser (a Hard Rock Song) ends with a completely random tuba riff.
* Avenue Q's "My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada"

*** Not as pronounced in the soundtrack, but onstage, not only the characters, but also their puppeteers, ''[[Breaking the Fourth Wall|the whole orchestra and the conductor]]'' stare slack-jawed in a seemingly endless awkward moment. Drives it home.
* Supertramp's Asylum ends with a faint cuckoo noise.
Line 44:
* Inverted and overlapping with Studio Chatter with Humble Pie's "30 Days in the Hole" which begins with the lead vocalist starting both too soon and off pitch. The entire band to burst into laughter before starting the song proper.
* Sting's "Shadows in the Rain" (from the album The Dream of the Blue Turtles) starts with a musician asking, "Wait! Wait! What key is it in?" The instrumental title track of the same album ends with background laughter apparently from one of the musicians.
* [[
* French singer Renaud made a few over the years. One of his songs ends with "The studio is on fire, do I continue?". Another one ends with him talking to himself about how the song he just made is so great that it will top the chart. Then he goes on explaining that he will artificialy make it top the chart by buying a lot of his own disk, then, as he is a best-seller, he will obviously get a huge media coverage and of course it will sell millions. Meanwhile, the overly long guitar solo still goes on, and he comments on the quality of the sound. He ends by annoncing the next song, proclaiming he likes it because he dies at the end. Overall, the
* The album version of "Sssnakepit" by [[Enter Shikari]] finishes with a low-pitched, wobbling "Yeahhh" sound, which guitarist Rory starts laughing at, saying it "Sounds like Louis Armstrong". The final drum beat continues with the band still giggling, before cutting the song off with another "Yeahhhh".
* In Citizen King's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLpYShTQWNk Better Days], every chorus has a part where there's five notes that don't fit in with the rest of the song (those five notes wouldn't sound out of place in an old video game). At the end, an extended version of those five notes play without the chorus.
Line 52:
* The Replacements' "Androgynous" ends with Paul Westerberg comically flubbing a note on the piano and abruptly stopping the song.
* [[Goldfrapp]]'s remix of [[Marilyn Manson]]'s "This Is The New Shit", which could almost be considered more of a [[Cover Version]] since Alison Goldfrapp sings most of the song herself: For the last 45 seconds or so, it suddenly switches from stomping electroclash to a mock-cabaret ballad, with Allison Goldfrapp adopting a Marlene Dietrich-esque German accent.
* [[The Adventures of Duane and
** Also, Duane's solo work, Action Adventure World, has his [[Super Mario Land]] song end with a love song from Mario to Daisy, capping it off with a belch.

* Nearing the end of [[Cristina Vee]]'s version of "Let Me Be With You" the [[
* [[College Humor]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nPeTfeFALk Awkward Rap]. [[Exactly What It Says
** [[College Humor]] is fond of this trope. Several other song end in similar ways.
* An [[The Lonely Island|I'm on a Boat]] [[Memetic Mutation|Parody]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06kDBBNylAQ "I Found a Dog"] the song is about a guy who was lonely and found a dog who can [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|literally do anything]]. However, this turns out to be more about the guy's personal issues rather than the actual dog, and eventually gets completely off point. (the video description includes the lyrics)
