Een beetje geld voor een beetje liefde - Angelique

Angelique's 'Een beetje geld voor een beetje liefde' ('A little money for a little lovin'') was a parody of Nicole's winning song for the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest, 'Ein Bisschen Frieden'. I won't translate the entire lyric here for non-Dutch people reading this blog, but the bottom line is that the singer describes the day job of a hooker, indirectly implying that sweet innocent Nicole had a job on the side as well.

The song was a big success in the Netherlands, released in July 1982 - not long after the original - it reached number 2 in the Dutch Top 40.

Found: Studio Echo, Den Haag, 1982
