The Show (Doug E. Fresh song)

"The Show" is a single by Doug E. Fresh & the Get Fresh Crew. Originally released as a single, the track was later remixed and included on the 1986 Oh, My God! album.

Described as "a reality show of a Hip Hop performance" the track focuses on a conversation between Doug E. Fresh and MC Ricky D (later known as Slick Rick) as they prepare for a show. The song incorporates portions of the melody from the theme song of the animated series Inspector Gadget. The original issue of the song featured a line where Slick Rick mockingly sings a verse from the Beatles' "Michelle" (1965), but all subsequent reissues have removed this line since the rights to the song were never secured.

It sold a million records and was certified gold by the RIAA in 1986.
