"Power to All Our Friends" is a song by Cliff Richard. He entered it as the British entry to the Eurovision Song Contest . It came third.

It was selected after a contest on Cliff Richard's show It's Cliff.

It was released in the UK as a single in 1973. The B-side was "Come Back Billie Jo", which was the runner-up in the contest for the British entry.

It was criticised for containing a malapropism where it described a girl as "laying down in Monte Carlo", it meant "lying down".

Cliff Richard had also represented Britain in the same songcontest in 1968. At that time the British entry was "Congratulations". It came second.
