[2] During 1976, Bijelo Dugme's bass guitarist Zoran Redžić, drummer Ipe Ivandić, and keyboardist Vlado Pravdić all faced hiatus from the band due to receiving call-ups to serve their mandatory Yugoslav People's Army stints.

[3] The album featured eight tracks: hard rock-oriented "Izgledala je malo čudno u kaputu žutom krojenom bez veze" ("She Looked a Little Bit Weird in a Yellow Sillymade Coat"), "Dede bona, sjeti se, de tako ti svega" ("Come on, Remember, for God's Sake") and title track, blues rock-oriented "Ne dese se takve stvari pravome muškarcu" ("Those Things Don't Happen to a Real Man"), folk-oriented "Slatko li je ljubit' tajno" ("It's So Sweet to Kiss Secretly"), simple tune "Ništa mudro" ("Nothing Smart", featuring lyrics written by Duško Trifunović), and two ballads, symphonic-oriented "Sanjao sam noćas da te nemam" ("Last Night I Dreamed that I Didn't Have You") and simpler "Loše vino" ("Bad Wine"), co-written by Bregović and singer-songwriter Arsen Dedić and originally recorded by singer Zdravko Čolić).

[5] The transformation of Yugoslav rock into a profitable activity and discovery of the authentic expression that could communicate with the mass audience — unlike the pretentious nonsense of earlier "progressive" and boring YU rockers — together with excellent hit songs, was probably the main success of Bijelo Dugme's first phase, "shepherds' rock", which concluded with their second album, Šta bi dao da si na mom mjestu.

Baš hoću!, released in 1976, demonstrated how only three years since the beginning of their career, the band members had serious intentions and could do things differently.

was a record of modern, thick sound straight from London studios, with a different approach and concept [...] White reggae, mixed with remains of folk, impeccable sound, rebellious title track and epic conclusion, "Sanjao sam noćas da te nemam", anticipated the following chapter, Bitanga i princeza.
