Greatest Endings In Rock and Roll

As I understood it, Bill Withers recorded "Ain't No Sunshine" with "dummy lyrics." The "I know"s were to have been replaced with actual lyrics once the song was (re)written, but the producer or someone liked it just the way it was, and decided to release it "as is." And now you know.

The champ, when it comes to repetitiveness, would have to be "I Love to Love You Baby" by Donna Summer. The title line repeats 28 times (from what I understand) over the course of the song! That is significant for such a relatively long title. It is also my understanding that Donna Summer was embarrassed by that song, but it also launched her career, so how bad could it have been for her?

It would seem that it worked out pretty well.
 
I like the ending on the Anthology 2 version of "Taxman" by the Beatles. Better than the fadeout repeat of the guitar solo from earlier in the song, which we know so well from Revolver. Although I prefer the "Taxman, Mr. Wilson, Taxman, Mr. Heath" over the "anybody got a bit o' money" in the Anthology version.
 
Gimme Dat Ding, by The Pipkins not only has a classic ending, but the repetitiveness factor, i.e. Gimme Dat, a Gimme Dat, a Gimme Dat Gimme Dat, Gimme Gimme Gimme Gimme Gimme dat gimee dat....
 
I liked the ending on "Don't Bring me Down" by ELO. When I first heard that "clicking" on the end of it, I thought it was the announcer "cracking" the mic when he opened the mic. I later learned that that "clicking" sound was actually part of the record!
