Twisting By The Pool by Dire Straits.
So good they do it like 50 pissing times. Doesn't get tiresome at all.
The Band That Dare Not Speakth Its Name lived and died on outros. Most of their songs ended with long exits consisting of Knopfler noodling. Of which this was the best I thought.So good they do it like 50 pissing times. Doesn't get tiresome at all.

On Every Street
Pulps - Sunrise is a simply amazing track and possibly one of the best ever outros. However its rousing ending about staring at the dawn of the sun has taken on an apocalyptic overtone for some of us following its use in Monkey Dust. The sight of Mr Hoppy mk2 and Ivan Dobsky bouncing down the streets of Blairs Britain coated in blood will be forever etched into the memory.
Surprised we've got this far in without;

The Eagles - Hotel California
And this is how you end a song with no outro at all.

ABC - Valentines Day.
Babylon zoo - Spaceman.
Dire in the middle, so much so that in my minidisc days I edited out the middle grungy bit and just had a really short intro/outro version repeated a few times.
The old bird in the Levi's ad was fit too.

Marillion - Fugazi
Good call!Lyrics here
ETA:
I'd love to know how they miked up the drums for that album, the base just flows through to the front without interrupting anything else. (Very similar mixing on Misplaced Chilhood).

Originally the whole thing was the grungy bit in the middle - allegedly the sped up section was down to John Peel accidentally playing it at 45 instead of 33 1/3.

Agreed 
The Talk Talk - Time It's Time is another excellent example.
Probably a re-post but Telegraph Road, worthy of inclusion?
History has not been kind to G'n'R, but there's nothing much wrong with Locomotive from Use Your Illusion II.
Love's so strange.

The final 90 seconds of CAB's "Bernard", Bunny Brunel wraps up his bass solo, Tony Macalpine comes to the fore for the outro solo and lets it fully off the chain, the results are nothing less than spectacular. Probably my favourite guitar solo of all time and favourite outro rolled into one.

Has to be the 12" version though for the guitar outro. Sticks in my mind as was used to outro a very Pistonheads programme in the 80/90's, usually shown in November...
