''Pub'' (trans. ''Jack'') is the first solo album released by Serbian and former Yugoslav singer-songwriter Đorđe Balašević. The album was produced by Josip Boček, who also played guitar on the album. The album featured the hits "Ratnik paorskog srca" which tells of a peasant who returns from World War I and who "wasn't made to be a soldier", "Za sve je kriv Toma Sojer" which tells of three boys which ran away from home influenced by ''The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'', "Boža zvani Pub" which tells of a legendary gambler nicknamed Pub (''Jack''), the ballad "Lepa protina kći". The song "Pesma o jednom petlu" went on to become one of Balašević's signature pieces. It tells a story of an old man's younger days in the farm-rich area of Vojvodina when he had a pet rooster. The rooster is widely assumed to be a metaphor for his male sexual organ for which female birds tend to go crazy. The lyrics go on to list different kinds of female birds which in turn depict stereotypical characteristics of women in Serbo-Croatian slang. The refrain line "Princip je isti, sve su ostalo nijanse" ("The principle is the same, everything else is nuances") is referring to the way of courting the opposite sex. The lyrics conclude in the man's later years as he misses the good times gone by and giving advice never to make your rooster suffer, to let him fly around so that female birds can see him, for afterwards it will be too late, because even roosters have a life span. The album was polled in 1998 as the 66th on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav rock and pop albums in the book ''YU 100: najbolji albumi jugoslovenske rok i pop muzike'' (''YU 100: The Best albums of Yugoslav pop and rock music''). ==Track listing== All the songs were written by Đorđe Balašević. #"Ilona" – 3:42 #"Ratnik paorskog srca" (''A Warrior With A Peasant's Heart'') – 4:37 #"Za sve je kriv Toma Sojer" (''It's All Tom Sawyer's Fault'') – 3:17 #"Za treću smenu" (''For Third Shift'') – 3:32 #"Lepa protina kći" (''The Archpriest's Beautiful Daughter'') – 3:22 #"Pesma o jednom petlu" (''The Song About A Rooster'') – 3:30 #"Boža zvani Pub" (''Boža Called The Jack'') – 4:04 #"Predlog" (''Suggestion'') – 3:17 #"Na pola puta" (''Halfway'') – 4:56 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pub (Đorđe Balašević album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
