  • Ya'll ready for this?

    Get down with the style
    House on the ground
    Freeze when I squeeze
    Drop to your knees
    Who wants to play?
    I'm in here to stay
    Ready to take you around the way
    So get ready for this
    Mind your own biz
    'Cause I invented the microphone biz
    No need to sit, cause we're 2 Unlimited
    Ready, ready, ready for this

    Feel the base, you just get closer
    Be impressed by the words I chose of
    Once again kickin' it live
    Doin' everything yo just to survive
    A wall to wall, I think I stand
    Being on stage with a mic in my hand
    Bustin' it live to the crowd
    The age is 20, I'm from the south

    Be a part
    Break my heart
    Get ready for this
    Mind your own biz
    People in the front
    Show me what you want
    And I won't give it in
    Get ready for this
    We're 2 Unlimited
    So people won't you sit?
    Movin' up and down
    Dancin' on the ground
    Feelin' kinda free, security
    House is the style that moves you from the ground

    House on the ground, bass in your face
    Racin' the place, no time to waste
    Feelin' hypnotised
    I can see it in your eyes
    Feelin' kinda better
    Put on your sweater
    Feelin' like a white
    I think it doesn't matter
    Super, dope, def, and even outrageous
    If I was an animal, they'd've kept me in cages
    So get ready for this

    Ya'll ready for this?

    Be a part
    Break my heart
    Get ready for this
    Mind your own biz
    People in the front
    Show me what you want
    And I won't give it in
    Get ready for this
    We're 2 Unlimited
    So people won't you sit?
    Movin' up and down
    Dancin' on the ground
    Feelin' kinda free, security
    House is the style that moves you from the ground Writer/s: Filipe De Wilde, Jean Paul De Coster, Raymond Slijngaard, Simon Harris

  • Gw from Spain2 Unlimited was not really Dutch. It was a Belgian project (producers/songwriters/music-mixers/publishers/distribution), launched in Belgium, and was fronted by Dutch performers (vocals/faces/dance).
    Technically it's not a duo but a quartet : 1 Dutch duo on stage (giving the public something to look at) and 1 Belgian duo behind the scenes (actually writing and mixing the songs). Because the general public saw only the Dutch performers, they soon assumed that the band was Dutch and that quickly became widespread misinformation.
    Calling 2 Unlimited a Belgian/Dutch dance act would be mutch better (and correct).
  • J Lee from UsaI've been surprised to read this article say that the instrumental version was played only in the UK. I lived in Los Angeles when this was popular, and I only heard the instrumental version on the radio. It wasn't until I bought the record that I learned there was a vocal version. I never liked the vocal version, so I just played the instrumental one.
  • Jorges from Oaxaca, MexicoThis was considered a great song of the Industrial music Genre. I agree, even it was considered "dance music" it means: so good and versatil song!!
  • Dave from Cardiff, WalesThis was the first hit for 2 Unlimited in the UK. It made #3 at Christmas 1991, and was the first of three big UK hits for the duo. In February 1993, their long-awaited follow-up "No Limit" hit #1 in the UK where it stayed for three weeks, dethroning Whitney Houston's cover of "I Will Always Love You", which had sat pretty at the top of the charts for 12 weeks. In 1994, they hit #10 in the UK with "The Real Thing", but the duo then split up in 1996
  • Dave from Cardiff, WalesIn 1992, a one-off act named Doctor Spin had a Top 5 hit in the UK with "Tetris". The music was mainly borrowed from the video game of the same name, but the single drew comment from UK critics of the era for the fact that parts of "Tetris" sounded virtually identical to "Get Ready For This"
  • Sean from Toronto, CanadaThis song was played in the movie "Bring It On" with Kirsten Dunst, Clare Kramer and Eliza Dushku.
  • Jack Lee from Nottingham, EnglandThis was covered by the Jock Jams, they added the infamous commentry quote at the beginning....."Lets get ready to rumble.........."
