Everybody Dance (Ouraine song)

"Everybody Dance" is a single by Emily Merletta-voiced character Ouraine from the Kuboian animated television series of the same name. It was released on 1st June 1997 as the third and final single from the album of the same name. Much like the other tracks on the album, it was produced by Chloe Wallace. The song peaked at number 4 on the Karuboia charts.

Background
Unlike the rest of the tracks on the album, "Everybody Dance" is more house-orientated and mostly relies on Merletta, as Ouraine, shouting dancing moves and chants throughout most of the song. Originally when writing the lyrics, Merletta was going to perform very fast-paced rap verses but had difficulty keeping up with the faster tempo, so opted for prominently using adlibs throughout the track. Upon its release, a few sources compared "Everybody Dance" to Naomi Karma's 1994 single "Step To This".
