Selma is a song by the influential Yugoslav rock band Bijelo Dugme. This song appeared for the first time on their 1974 debut album Kad bi bio bijelo dugme.

Background

"Selma" is a song about a young girl travelling to a university. The narrator is carrying her baggage, and warns Selma not to stick her head out the window while she's on the train.

The song was written by guitarist Goran Bregović and Vlado Dijak.

Versions

Studio Version

The version that we hear on the record is approximately six minutes and ten seconds in length. The song has two verses, but the second verse is repeated for the 3rd verse. There is an organ solo done by organist Vlado Pravdić as well as guitar riffs played by Bregović.

Koncert kod Hajducke Cesme Version

For their 1978 live release Koncert kod Hajdučke česme the band had a much shorter version of the song. This version ran for only 3.5 minutes, and the second verse was not repeated. Also the organ solo played in the begining and the middle of the song was not included thus shortening the song's length as opposed to the studio version.

The song uses Hammond Organ.
