Obligatory music-related entry on a night when just about every European TV-channel is broadcasting a certain infamous music contest.

Okay, this is something that really gets me wound up every time.  Whenever I'm watching British television, and Belgium is mentioned, they automatically seem to link our country with one particular song - and not even a very good one.

Here's the song: "Ca Plane Pour Moi" (1977), credited to (but not actually sung by) Plastic Bertrand.

Now, I don't know what the deal is with the British, but they seem to think it's the only song that ever came out of our country.

So, on a night that is all about music (most of it awful), and with plenty of nil points if you're brave/foolish/suicidal enough to be actually watching the Eurovision Song Contest, here is a playlist with only Belgian songs, to prove that there's actually more than one Belgian song.  I'm quite sure you'll like some, you won't like others, and you'll probably never have heard of most - unless you're Belgian, that is.
