"On with the Show" is a song written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards which appeared on the 1967 Rolling Stones album Their Satanic Majesties Request. The recording attempts to combine a silly tune in the old fashioned English Music Hall tradition with sound effects to create a burlesque or nightclub atmosphere.
Earlier in 1967 Frank Zappa had already used the same types of ideas to record America Drinks and Goes Home on the album Absolutely Free. The Zappa song parodied his own experiences playing with drunken bar bands in the early 1960's. Other similar songs recorded around the same time include My Friend by Jimi Hendrix (recorded in 1968, released in 1971) and You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) by The Beatles (recorded in 1967 and 1969, released in 1970.)
