Belgium was represented by the band Clouseau, with the song "Geef het op", at the 1991 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place in Rome on 4 May.

Before Eurovision

Euro-Clouseau

Clouseau were chosen internally by broadcaster BRT to be that year's Belgian representatives. In June 1990, the BRT had signed an agreement with Clouseau to represent Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest, but this agreement was not revealed to the public until 1 September 1990. On 9 March 1991, Euro-Clouseau was broadcast live at 20:10 CET on TV1. Euro-Clouseau was held in the Casino Cursaal in Ostend and was hosted by Jessica de Caluwe. The show featured archive footage of Clouseau's career, and Clouseau also performed several songs from their repertoire, three of which ("Geef het op", "Hilda" and "Ik kan zonder jou") were candidate songs for the Eurovision Song Contest. The band made their own choice from the three songs and announced "Geef het op" as the song they would perform in Rome.[1][2][3]
