"The Show" is a 1985 hip hop 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 samples the theme song from the animated series Inspector Gadget. The original issue of the song featured a line where Slick Rick mockingly sings a verse from "Michelle", but all subsequent reissues have removed this line since the rights to the song were never secured.
