"Go with the Flow" is the song sung by theOarsman inPaper Mario: The Origami King whenMario,Olivia, andBob-omb enterEddy River for the first time. As the Oarsman sings, the lyrics are highlighted in blue in a similar style tokaraoke.
Later, Olivia can sing this song at the ritual stand in theScorching Sandpaper Desert, although this version is slightly faster. The song does not do anything, and adifferent song must be performed to reveal theFire Vellumental Cave.Professor Toad comments that the song made him question all of his decisions. The song cannot be sung again after the cave is revealed.
The song may also play inShy Guys Finish Last in the Sudden Death round, where the word "sculler" is replaced with a question mark and the player has to recall the word by selecting one of four answers.
