"The Sound of C..." is a song by Belgian new beat band Confetti's. Written by Serge Ramaekers and Dominic Sas, it was debut single from their only studio album 92... Our First Album, and was released in September 1988. The music video for "The Sound of C..." was shot in Antwerp, with the band performing at the Meir main shopping street in the city, in front of hundred citizens passing by. The single reached the top three in the Waloon region of Belgium, and the top ten in France where it peaked at number six and spent 23 weeks in the top 50, earning a silver disc in this country. In addition, it was a top-20 hit in the Flanders region of Belgium and a top-25 hit in the Netherlands. On the pan-European Hot 100 Singles chart established by Music & Media, it peaked at number 26 in its 13th week.

As it sold over 70 000 copies in its home-country as of the middle of January 1989, managing director Jose Pascual said they expected international success, so that a second single, "C in China", was planned to be released, with 25,000 pre-orders in Wallonia in December 1988.[1]
