Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox song "Everybody" was the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2001, performed in English by Tanel Padar and Dave Benton, along with 2XL, for Шаблон:Esccnty. It was the first victory by one of the countries that debuted in the contest in the 1990s after the fall of the Iron Curtain.

Background

The song was performed twentieth on the night, following Шаблон:Esccnty's Michelle with "Wer Liebe lebt" and preceding Шаблон:Esccnty's Fabrizio Faniello with "Another Summer Night". At the close of voting, it had received 198 points (12 from Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty and the Шаблон:Esccnty), with the win coming at the head of a 23-song field.

Tanel had previously provided backing vocals for Estonia's 2000 entry, sung by Eda-Ines Etti, his then girlfriend. Tanel and Dave were supported by a backing group of four, 2XL: Lauri Pihlap, Kaido Põldma, Sergei Morgun and Indrek Soom.

The song was followed as Estonian representative at the 2002 contest, held in the Estonian capital of Tallinn, by Sahlene with "Runaway".

Content

Lyrically, the song is simply an invitation to party, with the duo singing that "every night's a Friday night". The song is famous for two major reasons: Benton is the oldest contestant to win the grand prize as well as the first Black contestant to do so. Maarja-Liis Ilus has recorded a cover version.
