"Workaholic" is a song recorded by Dutch Eurodance band 2 Unlimited.[1]

Release and reception

Workaholic was released in April 1992 as the third single from 2 Unlimited's debut album Get Ready!. The album version was an instrumental track but the released version featured a chorus from Anita Doth and, outside the UK, verses from Ray Slijngaard.

The release scored chart success in many European countries, with its highest peaks coming in the Republic of Ireland and the UK. In Zimbabwe it peaked at No. 1 in August 1992. And it was also a Top 30 U.S. Dance hit on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Content

The opening segment of the song features bells ringing in descending followed by ascending order (replicating the Westminster chime effect). It is the same segment that is played at Yankee Stadium in New York City whenever baseball's New York Yankees score a run and at multiple NHL arenas, such as the Staples Center's Los Angeles Kings, when a penalty is called against the visiting team. It is also used when the Los Angeles Lakers score a 3 Point Basket.

Controversially, on the Hardcore Remix of the song, there was a quote: "Who the fuck are you?" at the beginning of the track. However, in the Hits Unlimited album and the music video, the entire quote is omitted.

The opening phrase in the song, "Ok, let's go to work" comes from the 1987 film Wall Street.

Music video

The music video for "Workaholic" was directed by British director David Betteridge. He also directed the music videos for "Get Ready for This" and "Twilight Zone".
