Baby, Baby (Belgian song)

"Baby, Baby" was the Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1973, performed in Dutch (with some lines in English, German, Spanish and French) by Nicole & Hugo.

The song was performed second on the night (following Finland's Marion Rung with "Tom Tom Tom" and preceding Portugal's Fernando Toro with "Tourada"). At the close of voting, it had received 58 points, placing 17th (last) in a field of 17.

The song itself is a rather straightforward love duet, with the duo pledging their love to each other in a variety of languages (and making the unusual comment that "the divorce doesn't hurt at all"), however it has achieved something of a cult status among Contest fans.

Much of this is due to the purple jumpsuits worn by both performers and the unusual dance moves they performed during the song. There is also a level of appreciation for a relatively tacky song.

The notoriety of the song and its performance resulted in an excerpt of its video appearing in each one of the video montages at the Congratulations special in late 2005. Nicole & Hugo then appeared onstage, dressed in their jumpsuits, and performed their dance as Renars Kaupers' "Eurovision wish", further confirming their cult fame.

It was succeeded as Belgian representative in the 1974 Contest by Jacques Hustin performing Fleur De Liberté.
