I did it. I couldn't resist. Here's the tally from today's #ThursdayFiveList, where there seemed to be a remarkable consensus that certain songs were essential elements of any list for the theme #Showtime.
7--"The Show Must Go On"
(5 Queen; 1 Leo Sayer [note this is a different song]; 1 Red Meat [IDK if it's the same.])
5--"Limelight"
(4 Rush; 1 Alan Parsons)
4--"Cabaret" (Liza Minelli)
2--"We Are the Champions"
(1 Queen; 1 Queen + Liza Minelli)
I thought there might be even more of the Queen version of "The Show Must Go On," but I think seeing Queen's "We Are the Champions" might have given me that impression.
I haven't been keeping track, but I daresay this might be the strongest showing for a specific song on any of the h/t T5L lists.

I'm tempted to count how many times Queen "The Show Must Go On" appeared on one of these lists. I'm going to resist that impulse, but it might be a record for h/t groupthink. I wonder if it's because Queen is top of mind after the videos of people in Hungary celebrating and singing We Are the Champions. ๐ค ๐
Here's my #ThursdayFiveList take on #Showtime.
Limelight - Rush
Stage fright - The Band
The Show - Lenka
Hollywood - Rufus with Chaka Khan
Curtain Call - Hank Mobley

Bonus
I was going to switch out one on my five list for this one, but instead I'll just add it as a bonus. ๐
When They Bring Down the Curtain / Average White Band
"When they bring down the curtain
Everybody's gonna think it's over
In the back of my mind I know
It's only the start of the show
When they bring down the curtain
That's when my troubles begin...
Sitting here in my room backstage
With only my thoughts to keep me company
Read the script again from an empty page
Still I see your face in front of me
But I can't let this feeling take over
I've got to go out and play my part
No one else realizes
I'm doing it all with an aching heart tonight"
