Alles Heeft Ritme (English translation: "Everything Has Rhythm") was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1986, performed in Dutch by Frizzle Sizzle.

The song is an up-tempo one, in which the point is made that there is nothing to be gained by worrying about being late or having to make deadlines. The band explains that "everything has a rhythm", people included, and that to try to work against this rhythm would be foolish.

The song was performed seventh on the night (following Iceland's I C Y with Gleðibankinn and preceding Turkey's Klips ve Onlar with Halley). At the close of voting, it had received 40 points, placing 13th in a field of 20.

It was succeeded as Dutch representative at the 1987 Contest by Marcha with Rechtop In De Wind.
