"Show Me the Way" is a song by German Eurodance group Mr. President, released in 1996, by Warner Bros. Records, as the third and last single from their second album, We See the Same Sun (1996). It is co-written by group member Delroy Rennalls with Karsten Günther and produced by Kai Matthiesen. The beat to "How Deep Is Your Love" by Bee Gees was merely sampled for a small portion of the song. It was a moderate hit in Europe, becoming a top-20 hit in Denmark, Austria and Finland. In Germany and Switzerland, it was a top-30 hit. The CD single also includes the song performed with a Philharmonic Orchestra. The accompanying music video was directed by John Buche, featuring the group in a Casino and was filmed in Vienna, Austria.[1] Buche had previously directed the videos for Mr. President's previous hit-singles "Coco Jamboo" and "I Give You My Heart".
