Bambina (Idoli Song)
"Bambina" is the third single by the Serbian band Idoli. It was chosen to be the only single from the Čokolada album which was the band's highest commercial peak. History Having finished the tour for ''Odbrana i poslednji dani'' the band started writing new material for a new release which was planned to be a double EP. The record company, Jugoton, did not agree and decided to release Čokolada as a long play record. "Bambina" was chosen as the promo single first given only to radio stations and later, due to large popularity, appeared for sale as well. As the writer of the song also appeared Dušan Gerzić partially because he was the writer of the track "Čokolada" which was intended for the band Via Talas, but Šaper presented it as an Idoli song. The B-side was chosen to be " Stranac u noći" ("Stranger In The Night"). Track listing # "Bambina" (3:08) ( N. Krstić, S. Šaper, V. Divljan, D. Gerzić) # "Stranac u noći" (4:31) ( N. Krstić, S.

Songs Written By Vlada Divljan
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song.
