One song titled "Ćuti, Ćuti Ujko!" (featuring Serbian rock singer Bora Đorđević) contains the lyrics "Shut up, shut up, Ujko (Ustaša/Croat), I will kill you" as well as "Shut up, shut up, mujo (Bosnian Muslim), I will kill you". He has also sung "I don't like people who like the HDZ", which included the lyrics "Fuck their šahovnica".[citation needed]
Despite many of his songs having a nationalistic lyrical theme, he is also known for his often humorous non-political songs such as "Umri Baba" and "Poker Aparat".[citation needed]
Personal life
Pajčin lives with his wife, three daughters and three sons in Zemun. Besides his native language, he also speaks English and Russian. His mother and father live in a newly built house in Surčin.
Baja is a supporter of the Serbian Radical Party, and has sung at the party's conventions. He also released an album, Српским радикалима (To the Serbian Radicals, 1998), which glorifies the party and its leader Vojislav Šešelj.
His cousin Ksenija Pajčin, pop-folk recording artist, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend on March 16, 2010.[6][7] Later that same year, Baja released the song "Spavaj, kraljice" (Sleep, Queen) in her memory,[8] stating that he was very "shaken" by her death.
