Not counting songs with a phony fade, there are a few Top 40 hits that come to a complete stop for a second or two somewhere in the middle. Oftentimes on Rick Dees shows, he'll add commentary or sound effects during these pauses. Any others I'm overlooking?
Help Is On Its way - The Little River Band
The Look - Roxette
Wild Night - John Mellencamp & Meshell Ndegeocello

Fire-The Pointer Sisters.
I recall radio station Z-93 in Atlanta sometimes would pause the song a little longer--or the morning crew would add a funny sound effect.

"Rock On" by David Essex has various amounts of silence in between lyrics.
"How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" has silence after "I just wanna stop... and thank you baby". It's a short silence... but it's silence.
"Livin' On The Edge" by Aerosmith has silence towards the end.
Badfinger's "No Matter What" has silence in the song before the ending.

Animal - Def Leppard
I guess “Rocket”, also by Def Leppard, has dead air, but not sure if that is on the album version or on the 45 single.

"Good Lovin'"--The Young Rascals
And another song that comes to a brief stop after that word is Gino Vanelli's "I Just Wanna Stop" (pause) "For your love..."

"(You Drive Me) Crazy [The Stop! Remix]" by Britney Spears, which occurs shortly after the second chorus, and she says, "Stop!"
Also "Attention" by Charlie Puth.
