"Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)" is the second single released from the American alternative metal band Deftones' second album, Around the Fur. It was their first single to chart on the US charts, peaking at number 29 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and within the top 50 in the UK Singles Chart. Although it was a more modest hit than the follow-up, "Change (In the House of Flies)", it was included in the game Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX, released in 2000. An acoustic version appeared on the soundtrack to the film Little Nicky. This version, which featured Adam Sandler, the star of the movie, as well as Jonah Matranga of Far, was also included on the Deftones' B-Sides & Rarities album.
A video was filmed to accompany the single's release, directed by Frank W. Ockenfels III.
Stylistically, the song was described as alternative metal,nu metal and shoegaze.
All tracks written by Deftones.
The song was featured in the game Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX as a background music track.
