Rock me
Riva · Other Songs - Riva
na svom klaviru
on klasiku je svir'o po
notnom papiru
A svirao je k'o pijanista
Mozarta, Chopina, Lista
ja ovu pjesmu
nasla sam da svira
Ref.
Rock me baby
nije vazno sta je
rock me baby
samo neka traje
rock me baby
ovo je za nervni stres
Rock me baby
nije vazno sta je
rock me baby
samo neka traje
rock me baby
samo neka je za ples
Sad cijele dane cujem zvuk
starog klavira
tu pjesmu sto se svira bez
notnog papira
Jer klasika je da se slusa
i da se njom opija dusa
a ova pjesma
svira se za ples
Ref. 2x
Samo neka je za ples

Rock me
Riva's "Rock me" stands as a defining track within the Yugoslav new wave and post-punk landscape of the late 1980s. The song exemplifies the genre's characteristic fusion of electronic textures with raw, emotive vocals, capturing the restless energy of the era's youth culture. As a staple of Riva's discography, the recording reflects the band's ability to blend melodic sensibilities with a darker, more atmospheric production style that distinguished them from contemporaries. Its enduring presence in the regional music canon highlights its significance in shaping the sound of Yugoslav rock during a period of intense cultural transformation. The track remains a key reference point for understanding the evolution of the genre and the specific aesthetic contributions of Riva to the broader post-Yugoslav musical identity.
