"Twilight Zone" is the title of a song recorded by the Belgian-Dutch eurodance group 2 Unlimited. It reached number 2 in the UK and number 5 on the U.S. Dance chart, thus becoming their biggest hit on that chart. The UK release of the single was the first 2 Unlimited single in that country to include the vocals by singer Anita Doth, as they had been cut out of their previous hit "Get Ready for This". However, Ray Slijngaard's raps were once again removed. The instrumental version of the track sounds different from the original version. It's in a more Hi-NRG style with more bass and added cowbells. The song has become a staple of National Hockey League teams, as many of them play an instrumental loop of the song during games. It's popularity in the NHL may have been inspired by Ray Slijngaard wearing a Los Angeles Kings jersey in the music video.

[edit] Millennium Remixes

Following the bleak success of the "No Limit" single came the "Twilight Zone (Millennium Remixes)". It had the same success as its predecessor, although the remixes were more commercial and radio-friendly. It received good airplay in Europe but had very little success in the charts.
