S.a.r.s. Feat Shamso 69 - Ti, Ti, Ti < Tested — Secrets >

The song by S.A.R.S. and Shamso 69 (the frontman of Brkovi) is a satirical, high-energy collision of two very different worlds: the socially-conscious "alternative" rock of S.A.R.S. and the "turbo-punk-folk" chaos of Shamso.

The repeated chorus "Ti, ti, ti" (You, you, you) highlights a singular, maddening focus. The protagonist is stuck in a loop of thinking about this person who "destroys his soul" and "drinks his blood" like a vampire.

Because it is Shamso 69 singing, there is an underlying sense of irony. It’s not a "sad" breakup song; it’s a loud, sweaty, and slightly absurd declaration of how exhausting love can be. Cultural Impact

"Ti, ti, ti" became a massive hit because it bridged a gap in the Balkan music scene. It appealed to the "rockers" who enjoyed the irony and the "folk" fans who enjoyed the melody. It remains a staple of live performances, usually resulting in a massive sing-along where the crowd mimics Shamso’s signature dramatic vibrato.

The "story" behind the song is essentially a musical prank that mocks the tropes of traditional Balkan folk music ( narodna muzika ) while delivering a catchy, upbeat anthem about a man driven to the brink of madness by a woman. The Musical Clash

In short, it’s a story of —a song that celebrates the chaos of a bad relationship with enough energy to make you want to dance instead of cry. A.R.S. and Brkovi?

The track was released in 2013 on S.A.R.S.'s album Kuća časti . At the time, S.A.R.S. was known for their fusion of reggae, ska, and rock, often with a "cool" or "urban" vibe. Bringing in Shamso 69—who is famous for his over-the-top, intentionally "trashy" folk vocals and aggressive punk energy—was a bold move. It worked because it leaned into the (the traditional Balkan tavern culture) while maintaining a modern rock edge. The Narrative of the Lyrics

The lyrics use classic folk metaphors—comparing the heart to a stone, drinking away the pain, and the woman as a beautiful but destructive force.
