Thanks to Todd for writing in with today's theme idea.

He said, "I was listening to Abbey Road when 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' was on, and it gave me the idea when the song stopped. I thought to myself, 'What other songs are like this that end sounding like an editing mistake?'"

We're not looking for false endings, but rather songs that abruptly stop at the very end.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear with abrupt cutoffs?
