I think the selection of couples represented in the song is a very cleverly picked. It's not just random names, each couple had their difficulties, and all of them divorced/split up/ended up dead. So tragical.
sid and nancy - this was dealt with. Both died.
Fred and ginger - quite possibly the most famous dancing duo, a concept in itself. But I don't think in real life they were ever a couple. So just an illusion.
Clyde and bonnie - self-explanatory
Liz and richard - married and divorced twice (as far as I remember)
Kurt and courtney - see above...
Bacall and bogie - were a married couple and a screen couple for a long time. Ended in Bogie's death (I'm not sure if they divorced)
Joltin’ joe and ms. monroe - Marilyn and Joe DiMaggio were married for 9 months.
