The Show

About The Show

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