"Go with the Flow" is a song by Queens of the Stone Age from the album Songs for the Deaf, released as a single in 2003. It is the only single from the album to not feature Dave Grohl on drums, instead featuring Gene Trautmann who left the band during the recording of the album. At the 46th Annual Grammy Awards, the song was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance.[1]

Music video

The music video for the song was filmed in England by Shynola.[2] At the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, it won Best Special Effects and was nominated for Best Art Direction and Breakthrough Video.[3] The video—rendered in black, white, and red—features the band performing at the back of a Chevrolet pickup truck driving through a desert highway. The video also has sexual themes such as a metaphor of two cars colliding with each other, symbolizing intercourse, and an image of a bident (like the one on the cover of the album) showing some erotic attributes.[4]

Reception

"Go with the Flow" is widely regarded as one of the band's best songs. In 2016, Louder Sound ranked the song number six on their list of the 10 greatest Queens of the Stone Age songs,[5] and in 2021, Kerrang ranked the song number four on their list of the 20 greatest Queens of the Stone Age songs.[6]
