"Show Me" is the title of the debut single by the American freestyle girl group The Cover Girls. Released as a 12" single in early 1987, "Show Me" first charted on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart, where it peaked at #4 in March of that year.

The Cover Girls became among the first in a wave of freestyle musical artists to enjoy chart hits in the late 1980s; other associated acts include Exposé, Stevie B and Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam.

In 2000, former lead singer of The Cover Girls Angel Clivillés released an updated version of "Show Me" that was remixed and produced by DJ Tony Moran. Her recording was a hit in the US dance clubs, spending one week at #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in June of that year.
