With Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes co-producing alongside Courtney Taylor-Taylor, "You Were the Last High" comes on as sleek as that pairing suggests. The Dandy Warhols released it in July 2003, the second single off Welcome to the Monkey House. Taylor-Taylor wrote it with Evan Dando and sings it, Rhodes lays synthesizer over Zia McCabe's keyboards, Peter Holmström and Taylor-Taylor share the guitars, and Brent DeBoer drums and sings backup. Jeremy Wheatley mixed it.
The video pushed the Rhodes connection all the way, restaging Duran Duran's "Planet Earth" clip almost shot for shot. Critics picked the song out as a high point of the album, it reached 34 in the UK, and it found an afterlife on screen, played live by the band in 9 Songs and heard in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life.
