Behind the Scenes: Zdravko Čolić's Frustration During 'Za Milion Godina' Recording Revealed

Belgrade, Serbia - A recently released video by CITY MAGAZINE has shed light on a humorous, yet challenging, incident during the recording of the legendary 1980s Yugoslav charity anthem, "Za milion godina." The report details how two prominent musicians, Zoran Predin and Vlada Divljan, arrived at the recording studio in Belgrade in a state of intoxication, much to the dismay of their fellow artists. According to the video, the renowned Zdravko Čolić, affectionately known as Čola, reportedly expressed significant frustration with their conduct. "Čola complained about them, as he couldn't sing over their grumbling and howling," the narrator stated, recounting the difficulties faced during the session. The video points to subtle visual cues in the original music video, suggesting the pair's compromised state, with one instance showing Predin even being partially edited out of a frame. This historical anecdote offers a candid glimpse into the behind-the-scenes realities of a monumental musical collaboration. The video also takes the opportunity to promote the new film "Praslovan," which delves into the career of Zoran Predin and his band Lačni Franz, promising to reveal more untold stories and provide translations of their Slovenian hits.
