Whenever Casey played “Change of Heart” by Cyndi Lauper, he’d end the song right after Cyndi sang, “waiting for a change of heart.” It seemed like a natural place to end the song, but the album version (and maybe the single) keeps going with instruments playing. Did you ever hear any others that seemed to have a great stopping point but just kept going?
I thought the same thing of “Naughty Girls (Need Love Too).”

"Do I Have to Say the Words?" by Bryan Adams. On the 1992 shows I've heard (admittedly just a couple), it ends after the last time he sings the title, but on the album version it goes on for something like a minute with "na na na na..." (Worth also noting that the album version is just over 6 minutes long.)

Over in Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) Crystal Lewis' monster 1996 hit "People Get Ready" had such a spot, as she sang her last lead vocal syllable. The instrumental background almost came to a stand still. But, she had maybe a minute more of instrumentation, and backing vocals, too.
It kind of reminded me of the place where Chicago's "Hard To Say I'm Sorry/Get Away" when it faded out in time to not hear any building up to "Get Away."
In Spring 1984 I remember Bill Baker on Danbury, CT's New Wave station WXCI complaining about a particular song 'ending' and then coming back to end again. I don't remember the act or the title, but the hook words of the chorus were "Everybody Knows."
I just KNOW there are a couple of 1970s songs that played with fading out and coming back in the middle of the song, but for the life of me I can't remember 'em. Maybe at 2:30a I'll wake up with it coming to me. XD

One time I was listening to an oldies station and heard the DJ talk during the false ending of the Young Rascals' "Good Lovin'."

There's the pre-AT40 Elvis hit "Suspicious Minds" which fades out and then fades back in during the repeated "caught in a trap..." choruses (chori?) at the end.
I used to hear Prince's "Kiss" end immediately after he sings the title at the end of the last chorus, but there are a few seconds of guitar after that. Not sure if the version I used to hear was a single edit, or if that was how the radio station played it.

In the closing of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" during the 1971 year-end countdown, Casey commented that he had no explanation for the song's double fade.
Perhaps that will be one of the special shows we'll hear in late December / early January.

Lady by Kenny Rogers has a false ending but I never heard any station playing the actual ending due to the dead air between the last two notes.

Nick Guilder's "Hot Child In The City" has the cold ending at "Hot child in the city", but the album version continues on for about 15 - 20 more seconds. I think AT 40 may have played the longer version after going to 4 hours.
The Contours "Do You Love Me" fades out then comes back in.

I recall when I worked in radio (during the vinyl era) it was important to know if a song had a 'false' ending. Once songs became digital (Compact Dics and beyond) it was much easier to know when a song was truly over.

Not sure if the version I used to hear was a single edit, or if that was how the radio station played it. On the album "Kiss" goes straight into another, similar-sounding song. I remember some stations stopped a few seconds into that other song.

There was a song back in 1970 that was like that in Teegarden & VanWinkle's "God, Love, And Rock n' Roll". Glen Frey's 1988 hit "True Love" had kind of a "song is over, but wait a minute" feel to it.
