"Count in Fives" is a song by English rock band the Horrors, released in October 2006 by Loog Records as a single from their debut album, Strange House.
The song is about vocalist Faris Badwan's childhood obsession with arranging things in groups of five.

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".
