"Count in Fives" was the third single by the UK band The Horrors, released in October 2006. The song is about Faris Badwan's childhood obsession with arranging things in groups of five. The B-side, "A Knife in Their Eye", featured lyrics written by Badwan set to music by The Monks. Like other singles by the band, it could not chart as it came packaged with stickers. The music video featured people using sign language to "act out" the music and lyrics of the song. A minor controversy erupted when it was discovered that part of the song (the intro and verse) was an uncredited replica of We The People's "My Brother, the Man".
