The song was originally intended to be performed by Nicole &amp; Hugo, who would represent Belgium at the 1973 contest with "Baby, Baby", however shortly prior to their departure to Dublin for the contest, Nicole fell ill with jaundice and the duo were unable to attend. As an indirect consequence of the late cancellation, "Goeiemorgen, morgen" was recorded by both duos and Nicole &amp; Hugo even released the song in a French-language version, then entitled "La vie chante". The song itself is an up-beat number, dealing with the simple joy of waking up in the morning.
