"'The Last Worthless Evening'" is a song written by John Corey, Don Henley, and Stan Lynch. It was a single recorded by Henley in 1989 that reached #21 on the US chart. The song was included on Henley's third album 'The End of the Innocence' that same year.
The song was inspired by Henley's interaction with actress Michelle Pfeiffer at a party they both attended. Pfeiffer, who was in a bad mood due to a recent breakup, was outside smoking a cigarette, when Henley joined her and tried to comfort her. She rejected his advances, which led to Henley's friend and actor Jack Nicholson sarcastically remarking, "nice going, Henley!"
