* Music/TheDillards: "Reason to Believe". The lyrics indicate the singer knows he should leave behind his old girlfriend, who is AllTakeAndNoGive and who lied to him, not caring about his feelings. However, he knows that if he gives her a chance to talk him out of the breakup, he'll forget it all.

* Los del Río' "Macarena", at least in the [[EclipsedByTheRemix more popular remix by the Bayside Boys]]. While the Spanish lyrics are clearly about the titular character cheating on her boyfriend Victorino while he's serving in the military, the English-language parts are the titular character bragging about how she no longer needs Victorino.

** "Selfless, Cold and Composed" is a more somber form of breakup song. And it sort of inverts the "I'm ruining your stuff" category- though there's no mention of cheating, it's about ''wishing'' the other person would break something or even get physically violent, because instead they're letting things go so easily that it seems like they don't care anymore.

** He also did "Since You've Been Gone", which starts out sounding like a straight depressing breakup song (albeit comparing his lovers absence to several outlandishly painful and masochistic acts). This being Weird Al, there's of course a twist at the end: "I feel almost as bad as I did, \ When you were still here!"
