"The Last Song" is a song by The All-American Rejects and is the second single from their self-titled, debut album. It is notable for relying heavily on classical instruments, such as the violin and cello, which is rare in the rock genre.

[edit] Music Video

The video shows the band cruising around a seemingly abandoned city, along with the occasional shot of the band playing in the middle of an empty football stadium, accompanied by a string section. As the video goes on, the band splits in three separate ways: Nick finds his way into an abandoned store and proceeds to joyride on a shopping cart (while knocking items off the shelves), Tyson finds a convertible and does donuts in a parking lot, and Mike and Chris go to a golf course, plug in a tv, eat snacks, and drink beer. Near the end of the video, the city is suddenly repopulated. Tyson is stopped by a police officer and is arrested, although it is unknown what happens to the other three members.
