It was sold in more than 250,000 copies, which was less than expected, considering the number of previous albums' copies sold.

The songs "U dva će čistači odneti đubre", "Kad ti se na glavu sruši čitav svet", "Ja ratujem sam", "Pravila, pravila", "Kako je lepo biti glup" and "Dobro jutro" appeared in Mića Milošević's 1982 movie Tesna koža
