"Everything Starts with an 'E'" is a song by English electronic music group E-Zee Possee featuring vocals from MC Kinky. It is considered by many to be the anthem of the acid house movement of the late 1980s, with the "E" in the title widely understood to refer to the drug Ecstasy (MDMA).

The song began life as an instrumental interpretation of Jeremy Healy and Simon Rogers's idea of house music after a trip to Ibiza which upon being presented to Boy George had vocals added to it by MC Kinky, George and Eve Gallagher. This vocal version charted number 15 on the UK Singles Chart, and although a music video was created, it was rarely broadcast due to its controversial lyrical content.
