"Everybody Gonfi-Gon" is a song by Italian Eurodance project Two Cowboys. It was released in June 1994 as the project's debut single. Drawing comparisons to other string-driven country-dance hits at the time, including The Grid's "Swamp Thing" and "Cotton Eye Joe" by Rednex,[2] "Everybody Gonfi-Gon" became a hit single as well, reaching number two in Finland and Iceland and peaking within the top 10 in Austria, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

Critical reception

Andy Beevers from Music Week gave the song four out of five. He wrote, "This irritating house hoe-down from Italy is threatening to be the next Doop. It has a Western flavour similar to The Grid's Banjo and Bravado's Harmonica Man but is far more cheesy. It was initially snapped up for UK releases by 3-Beat, although it has been sub-licensed to ffrr to make the most of its chart potential."[3] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update deemed it a "madly happy fiddle and banjo prodded galloping square dance/disco hybrid".[4]
