...a milicija trenira strogoću! (i druge pjesmice za djecu) (trans. ...and Militsiya Trains Strictness (and Other Songs for Children)) is a children's music album recorded by Yugoslav child singer Ratimir Boršić "Rača" and Yugoslav rock band Bijelo Dugme, released in 1983.
Background
[edit]The lyrics for the album were written by poet Duško Trifunović, with whom Bijelo Dugme had previously cooperated on several occasions, and the music was composed by Bijelo Dugme leader Goran Bregović.[1] All the members of Bijelo Dugme took part in the recording, excluding the band's vocalist Željko Bebek.[1] It was initially planned for pop rock singer Seid Memić "Vajta" to sing the vocals, but eventually, vocals were recorded by the eleven-year-old Ratimir Boršić "Rača".[2] The album was released under the names of both band and singer.[2] The album cover was designed by Bijelo Dugme's old collaborator Dragan S. Stefanović.[3]
