"Kad hodaš" (trans. "When You Walk") is a single from Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band Riblja Čorba.

The B-side features the song "Priča o Žiki Živcu" (trans. "The Story of grumpy Žika"). The title song is widely considered to be one of the most popular and powerful ballads of ex-Yugoslav rock music.[1][2][3]

Background[edit]

The song "Kad hodaš" was written by the band's guitarist Momčilo Bajagić for the band's 1984 album Večeras vas zabavljaju muzičari koji piju.

In 2009, pop/rock singer Marina Perazić claimed that she (at the time singer in the synthpop duo Denis & Denis) and Bajagić had a short-time relationship in the 1980s and that Bajagić dedicated "Kad hodaš" to her.[4] However, Bajagić denied the claim that the song was dedicated to Perazić.[5]

Other versions[edit]

After he left Riblja Čorba, Bajagić continued to perform the song with his new band, Bajaga i Instruktori. Bajaga i Instruktori live album Neka svemir čuje nemir features a version of the song.

Legacy[edit]

In 2006, "Kad hodaš" was ranked #4 on the B92 Top 100 Yugoslav songs list.[6]
