"You're So Last Summer" is a single from the band Taking Back Sunday. It was their fourth and final single from "Tell All Your Friends", the band's first album. It was released shortly after John Nolan and Shaun Cooper had left the band. Since Nolan and Cooper had left the band, the release of this single was in doubt. Then Fred Mascherino and Matt Rubano joined the band so that they could shoot the music video.

Music Video

Christian Winters directed the music video, which was shot in front of the Brooklyn Bridge and features the rapper Flavor Flav. It opens with the first chords of "Cute Without the 'E' (Cut from the Team)" as the band walks down a street. The main body of the video portrays the band performing the song on stage, while Flavor Flav and Adam Lazzara alternatively sing the lyrics. Interestingly, Lazzara's shirt changes during the video several times, from reading "COBRA" to reading "DRAGON." Intermittently, the shot switches to a lone band member dancing, and then back to the performance. The video concludes with a shot showing the band members (sans Flav) standing in the street on which the music video opened, and, one by one, disappearing, until Lazzara alone remains.
