Barenaked Ladies' "Thanks That Was Fun" has always been a favourite of mine:

EDIT: Another I thought of shortly after posting is "Boots or Hearts" by The Tragically Hip:

"Fingers and toes, fingers and toes / Forty things we share / Forty-one if you include the fact that we don't care"

Level 42 "It's Over"

The title says it all, but it really spoke well of what happens when two people just sort drift off in different directions after awhile...

I LOVE that movie! "It's a shame when folks be throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that!"
The one that always springs to my mind is this one. It's one of those things that struck a particular chord with me:
"Take A Bow" - Madonna

The song for me is forever ruined by the opening misheard lyric, "No I can't forget the semen on your face as you were leaving..."

The car race into the duck pond was filmed where I used to live. The church that owned the land where they dug the pond got some money off it and built a building there!
That part was filmed in Sierra Madre, CA. Nice area. Except for minor things like earthquakes and fires. That foothill you see in the scene, at the top of the street? I've seen it on fire twice.

I wouldn't call it a "break-up" song as such.... unless you're talking about the sinking of the Titanic itself.

Well l was on this site and it did say it was a break up song.
Well when the ship sunk and they were trying to survive on the plank of wood she woke up to find out that he was dead.
She was crying at this stage on whether to let him go or keep him with her..
She choose to let him go in that icey water.

This.
Years ago I actually sent a link to this song to an ex who sent me a drunken email asking to be friends
When I was young, the (at the time) love of my life broke up with me. We did end up dating sort of sporadically after that (don't ask, I have/had no idea what that was all about 
), so I could never listen to 10CC's "I'm Not In Love" without thinking of him and the breakup.
"So just because, I call you up, don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made." and "Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me."
I'm almost 52 and I can still feel the echoes of the pain from those long-ago days, although my love for the guy is gone along with my youth.

Now, that's one mondegreen I've never heard before!
BTW, the song is called “Without You” and it was written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger.
