Remarks:
I completely forgot about this song till I ran into it on YouTube today. This is the first time I am hearing it since the 1990s and the first time I have ever seen the video. In 1992 it went to #1 in their native Netherlands, #2 in Britain and #49 on the American pop chart. In the States they are probably better known for “Get Ready For This” (1991).
Lyrics:
[RAY:] First to the bass in to the jam
Then let the music take command
Back to back to another dimension
Stop the force and pay some attention
Music to party, music to dance
The new follow-up of public demand
Slick as five da la megaphone
Take you down to the “Twilight Zone”
[RAY:] Enter the clock and turn the body upside down
Grab the microphone it’s upon the sound
You want more more you get
We’re 2 Unlimited in effect!
Check up the sound and stop this distortion
When we get the fittess, here’s another portion
Just lay back as we take control
Take you down into the “Twilight Zone”
[CHORUS:]
[ANITA:] This is the twilight zone
And you’re not on your own
We take you to the twilight zone
It is the twilight zone
You better shake your bones
And come on down the twilight zone
[ANITA:] Come on baby!
I’m gonna take you to the “Twilight Zone”
[RAY:] Have a good time, take a break
[R:] Hang with another first of the chapter
Straight to the heavyweight, for worst or better
Fishes in the way, found in the vicinity
Slaming DJ’s with the rhyme capability
Listen to the jam as we go wild
Check your MC’s versitile
Me and the lady howl megatone
Fuck you up in the “Twilight Zone”
[ANITA:] Woow
[ANITA: CHORUS]

Yes, let’s all sing along with happy stupid songs as more and more innocent Palestinian souls get released from their bodies. Then let’s go watch some football! Weeee!!

Harsh! But true. Right now my Twitter feed has Americans watching Sunday evening television mixed in with Palestinians getting bombed in the middle of the night by the Israeli air force and navy. And Haaretz saying that 90% of Israelis are for what is being done to Gaza. Pretty chilling stuff.

You can hear the Israeli navy shelling on the audio on this page (and the constant hum of drones over Gaza City):

@abagond,
Jesus, that drone recording is terrifying. It sort of sounds like an atonal music piece from a horror film, which is apt.
That constant hum, teasing, taunting… then bang. You’re dead.

They had a few hits in Europe, I can remember the one that went: No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there’s no limit. It was cool when I was ten.
