"No Limit" is a song by Dutch music group 2 Unlimited, released in January 1993. The track was taken from the group's second album No Limits. "No Limit" is one of the most well known eurodance songs and was a world-wide hit, selling 2.8 million copies. It topped many European charts, including the UK, and reached #21 on the American Dance chart.
"No Limit" was Europe's biggest-selling song for 1993.
It became notable outside its usual fanbase for its repetitive lyrics. The word "no" appears in the UK radio edit of the track 72 times [[1]] and hence it was thus parodied by Spitting Image as "No Lyrics". Nonetheless, in 1993 in an NME interview, Mark E Smith of The Fall claimed it was one of his favourite songs.
