"'''Drifting Away'''" is a song featured in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]''. It serves as the background music for the gameplay portion of [[Dribble & Spitz]]'s stage, playing on the radio while they drive a customer to the [[Diamond City]] harbor.

The lyrics of "Drifting Away" allude to the [[Dribble Taxi]] and the ocean, which is likely in reference to their passenger, who turns out to be a mermaid. There are four variants of the song, each named after a season of the year, which switch off after each loop of the song.

"Drifting Away" appears in the minigame [[Jump Forever]], along with [[Four Seasons]] and the [[Jumpin' Rope]] theme. After [[Kat & Ana]]'s stage is completed, this is the default tune until the player scores 100 jumps. The song also plays in the second level of [[Dr. Crygor]]'s [[microgame]] [[Cymbalism]].

In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', an instrumental remix serves as Dribble & Spitz's theme. The player can also view a "Drifting Away" music video in the "Movie Matters" section. This version fades between each of the four variants of the song. An excerpt of the "Spring" and "Summer" variants can also be heard in the "WarioWare, Inc. Medley" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

A special arrangement of the song, which only features the "Spring" and "Summer" variants, is included on the album ''[[Nintendo Sound Selection Vol.3: B-Side Music]]''.

In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', one of [[18-Volt]]'s [[List of records in WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase|records]] is an arrangement of Drifting Away titled "Floating..."

The song reappears as a record in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', using the ''Mega Party Game$!'' arrangement.

こがね色の あなたのクーペ<br>
たっぷり バターをぬってあげるわ<br><br>
街をぬけて 桟橋へ (LET'S GO! LET'S DRIVE!)<br>
息を止めを閉じて <span class=explain title=ワン、トゥー、スリー>１・２・３</span><br><br>
濡れる頬 夢中でおよげ そして<br>
波間に 漂う声を ふりきって ねぇ<br><br>
こがね色の あなたのクーペ<br>
ささやく 波間で一休み

<i>Kogane iro no anata no kūpe<br>

Machi o nukete sanbashi e (LET'S GO! LET'S DRIVE!)<br>
Iki o tome o tojite, wan, tū, surī<br><br>
Nureru hō muchū de oyoge soshite<br>
Namima ni tadayō koe o furikitte nē<br><br>
Kogane iro no anata no kūpe<br>

Your golden-colored coupe<br>
Looks like it has butter spread all over it<br><br>
Go through the city to the pier (Let's go! Let's drive!)<br>
Hold your breath and close your eyes, 1, 2, 3<br><br>
With wet cheeks, swim in a trance, then<br>
Let the voices on the waves drift away<br><br>
Your golden-colored coupe<br>
Takes a rest on the whispering waves
