Both "Šesnaesta" songs are featured on the Hiljadu ratnih dana Šesnaeste VHS. The A1 track is featured as a music video where the orchestra is seen on grass in front of trees. One accordion player, two guitarists, one bassist, a drummer and a keyboard player are seen behind the singer. The band appears rarely, as most of the video is war footage of commanders, soliders and combat. An alternative version of the B1 track is heard at the beginning of the VHS. Here, Velimir Škorić sings the song while performing it with an acoustic guitar. The video here also mostly comprises of footage of soldiers clearing buildings, walking through the woods and trenches and tanks, as well as a digital map of northern Republika Srpska showing what cities the 16th Krajina Motorized Brigade fought in. | Both "Šesnaesta" songs are featured on the Hiljadu ratnih dana Šesnaeste VHS.

The songs themselves have a lot of musical variation between the songs. While there are fast-paced battle anthems like the B2 [[Šesnaesta (II)|Šesnaesta]], there are also slow songs like [[Sječaju se palih drugova]], which mainly uses the piano as an instrument and mourns lost comrades. Some songs are Accordion heavy, while mainly utilize E-Guitars and synths. A total of five vocalists are featured on the album, one of which is female but uncredited. | |||
