"Get Ready for This" is a 1991 eurodance single by 2 Unlimited. It is perhaps the most-played opening song for arena-based sporting events. It reached number 2 in the UK and number 14 on the US Dance chart. It is arguably the most famous of the band's singles in the United States; its success was eclipsed elsewhere in the world, however, by their fifth single No Limit[1] The famous repeated line "Y'all ready for this?" is sampled from The D.O.C.'s hit single "It's Funky Enough".
