À la folie ou pas du tout



"À la folie ou pas du tout" ("Passionately or not at all") was the Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1972, performed in French by Serge & Christine Ghisoland.

The song was performed sixteenth on the night, following Monaco's Peter McLane & Anne-Marie Godart with "Comme on s'aime" and preceding Luxembourg's Vicky Leandros with "Après toi". At the close of voting, it had received 55 points, placing 17th in a field of 18.

The song is a duet, in which both singers explain their philosophy on love - to "love passionately or not at all". They end by making the admission that "We love each other a bit much and we believe it".

It was succeeded as Belgian representative at the 1973 Contest by Nicole & Hugo performing "Baby, Baby".
