Hilda - Clouseau

Released as the follow-up to 'Geef het op', 'Hilda' was one of the other songs Clouseau performed during the national final in Belgium for the 1991 Eurovision Song Contest. The band actually performed three songs, from which one was picked to represent Belgium in 1991. The other two songs landed on this single.

Released in July 1991, 'Hilda' was a hit in Belgium but failed to chart in the Netherlands. At the time, I thought this was the best song of the three, but in hindsight I think 'Geef het op' was the right choice for the international final.
