Line 72:

* "[[Elvis Presley|Elvis]] has left the building." (So he won't be coming back on stage for another encore, so you may as well go home now.)
* [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]]' ''Let It Be'' was the last album the group released, and John's final quip "I'd just like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and hope we pass the audition" would certainly be bittersweet. But since ''Abbey Road'' was the last the group recorded, that distinction would go to the last line of "The End":▼

{{quote|And in the end,
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make. }}
* [[Paul McCartney]] has done this in recent{{when}} concerts - in one he held at Abbey Road (which might air on a [[PBS]] station near you{{verify}}), he wrote a song in front of the audience, and the lyrics included "That's all for now! You've got to go home!" (Done very sweetly and melodically.) Since Paul recently{{when}} has been known to try to continue concerts after the mike has been turned off, a formalized goodbye is necessary.
* An ironic example by the band [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F_BRaK301A "That's All"]. The song title is the final lyrics and the rest is instrumental until it fades out.
* Unusual example: the final song of the [[Type O Negative]] album ''October Rust'' cuts off abruptly (after 10 minutes of epicness) and then the lead singer says "Well, that's about it. That's all we have. I hope it wasn't too disappointing. We will see you on tour. Until then, take it easy."
* [[Big & Rich]]'s debut album ''Horse of a Different Color'' included a nearly minute-long goodbye after the last song which was obviously unscripted.
* Eric Idle and Neil Innes' "Rutland Weekend Times" has an instrumentalless finale which includes this couplet:
{{quote|[The budget] is how much we've got to make you bleeders smile
Line 90 ⟶ 89:
* [[Joseph Haydn]]'s Symphony No. 45 is known as the "Farewell" Symphony - he and his musicians were kept at Prince Nikolaus Esterházy's summer palace much longer than expected, so at the end of the last movement, each musician stopped playing and left the stage, snuffing out their candle, until there were two violinists left. The prince got the hint and let them go the next day.
* ''[[Sesame Street]]'' sing-along or play-along cassettes from the 1980s invariably ended with a stern male narrator announcing: "The tape is over. Please press the STOP button. Push it now." If you still hadn't pushed it after that, you got Oscar the Grouch sarcastically yelling: "WILL YOU PUSH IT NOW ALREADY?!"
* The [[Blue Öyster
* A cappella novelty band
