"Show No Mercy"
Song
B-side"You're So Cool"

Show no Mercy is a single taken from the 1990 album Mark Williams ZNZ by Mark Williams released in 1990. It proved to be the most successful Australian song of his career, reaching number 9 on the Australian charts. It also went platinum and was chosen to launch the 1990 Rugby League Grand Final.

The accompanying music video received heavy airplay on Australian airwaves and featured high contrast black and white footage of Mark singing in a white room with silhouetted dancers in a backdrop of giant close ups of metal chain sections.

Even today, the song continues to be recognised as an inspirational song and is still used by many as a motivational anthem. It consistently features as a staple track on Australian Football League and National Rugby League CD compilations.
