"Ton nom" (English: Your name) was the Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1962 in Luxembourg City, performed by Fud Leclerc.
This was his fourth and final appearance, having represented the country at the inaugural Contest in Lugano, two years later in Hilversum and a further two years later in London.
It finished in joint last place, sharing Nul Points with the entries from Spain, Austria and The Netherlands. However, due to it being performed second in the running order, it is officially the very first victim of this famous phenomenon as well as being the first of the Founding Seven nations to achieve this result.

Ton nom qui joue avec mon nom
Pour lui donner le mien et effacer le tien
Ta joie qui chante avec ma joie
Pour qu’elles se fondent ensemble
Ton cœur qui joue avec mon cœur
À grands coups de bonheur, de bonheur éperdu
Et puis ta main qui garde la mienne
Et me guide dans l’ombre jusqu’au soleil
Nous n’avons pas besoin des amours compliquées
Des amants de cinéma
Nous n’avons pas besoin de nous faire du ciné
Le bonheur c’est lorsque je vois
Ton nom qui joue avec mon nom
Pour lui donner le mien et effacer le tien
Ta joie qui chante avec ma joie
Pour qu’elles se fondent ensemble
Ton cœur qui joue avec mon cœur
À grands coups de bonheur, de bonheur éperdu
Et puis ta main qui garde la mienne
Et me guide dans l’ombre jusqu’au soleil
Your name that is playing with my name
Trying to get it and to erase yours
Your joy that is singing with my joy
So they would fuse together
Your heart that is playing with my heart
With a lot of luck, of passionate luck
And then your hand that is holding mine
And guiding me through the shadow to the sun
We don’t need complicated romances
Like those of lovers in movies
We don’t need to put on an act
Luck is as I see it
Your name that is playing with my name
Trying to get it and to erase yours
Your joy that sings with my joy
So that they would fuse together
Your heart that is playing with my heart
With a lot of luck, of passionate luck
And then your hand that is holding mine
And guiding me through the shadow to the sun
