"Everybody Dance" ("Everybody Dance (The Horn Song)" in international releases) is a 1998 house song recorded by American singer Barbara Tucker, who co-wrote the track with LaVette Gordon, and produced by DJ Pierre, which was based on an instrumental he recorded under the alias "The Don" as "The Horn Song." The horn solo on the single was performed by Darrell Dixon. After its release, the label rerecorded the single with Tucker adding lyrics and vocals to the song.

This was Tucker's fourth of seven number-one singles she placed on the Billboard Dance Club Songs, reaching the top spot on September 12, 1998.^[1]

Outside the United States, the single was retitled as "Everybody Dance (The Horn Song)," with several territories adding "The Don" to the credits. In the United Kingdom, this version peaked at 28 in 1998.^{[2] [3] [4]}
