"Everything Playing" is an album by The Lovin' Spoonful, released in 1968. It was the first album featuring guitarist Jerry Yester (who replaced Zal Yanovsky) and the last commercial album as a quartet; principal songwriter and lead singer John Sebastian would leave the group in June 1968 for a solo career. This album also features the only known track to feature bassist Steve Boone on lead vocal: "Priscilla Millionaira".

Three of the songs made the Top 40: "Six O'Clock," "She Is Still a Mystery," and "Money", but the album did not chart.

"Everything Playing" was re-issued on CD in 2003 with three bonus tracks — alternate versions of songs from the original recording.
