"Vozi miško" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Вози мишко", lit. "Drive, Miško") is a song performed by prominent Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža. Despite its appearance on a Braća sa Dinare album, Novak and Lujan do not appear on the track.
Music and lyrics
Unlike most songs on Bila jednom jedna zemlja, "Vozi miško" is a love song and is one of two songs on the album arranged by Orkestar Pravoslavci. With how different the song is stylistically and thematically different, it is speculated that it was leftover material that didn't fit with anything in Baja's solo career and instead was put at the end of the album, similar to speculation regarding "Loš učenik" and "Dinarska divizija" in Braća sa Dinare.
The song uses vocal samples of what is assumed to be Baja saying "Vozi Miško".
The song's title is a reference to a saying deriving from the 1980 movie “Ko to tamo peva", though has no deeper connection to the movie. Rather, the saying is usually used to call a taxi[1], talk to a driver,[2] and/or to encourage others.[3] The song tells a story of a prince whose princess disappeared without a trace, much to his dismay.
