Another Bosnian song but from the 80s about looking back wistfully at her youth. The singer Hanka Paldum is not to be messed with as she is arguably most famous in recent years for being sued by a Bosnian Serb ex-POW who she allegedly booted very hard in the haw maws to his permanent injury something she vehemently denies.

prefer this one from Dubioza kolektiv complete with a Josip Broz Tito impersonation threatening to send all the leaders from the ex-Yu to an island prison from the 1950s for messing up his old country and then doing a U-turn and saying he was only joking and who gives a flying one about the plebs:

or this one where a rakija fueled Lada is used by the Bosnian Space Agency:

A trip through 1980s Yugoslavian New Wave. First up, Azra from Zagreb which was my entry level drug to the genre back in the late 90s through a girlfriend (soon turned out to be a complete nutter) from that part of the world:

The Jesus lookalike in the clip that won't embed now lives in Holland and refuses to take out citizenship in any ex-Yu state making him effectively stateless. Next up, Belgrade's answer to Hipsway or were Hipsway Glasgow's answer Ekaterina Velika? 

 

Think they are all no longer with us now due to an excessive consumption of hard drugs. Finally, Zabranjeno Pusenje of Sarajevo ripping off Johnny Cash in a big way:

Predictably for Sarajevo they are now split into separate Serbian (lead singer) and Bosnian (lead guitarist) factions who still refuse to have anything to do with each other. The Serbian actress who played Barry's wife in one of the later not so good seasons of Auf Wiedersehen Pet makes an appearance late in the clip to the left of the singer.
