The album is the second Riblja Čorba album produced by John McCoy. It featured a softer sound than previous Riblja Čorba releases, as some of the songs featured string and brass instruments and had elements of acoustic rock.

The album was polled in 1998 as the 64th on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav rock and pop albums in the book YU 100: najbolji albumi jugoslovenske rok i pop muzike (YU 100: The Best albums of Yugoslav pop and rock music).^[1]

Reception and legacy

The album brought a number of hit songs: ironic love songs such as "Draga ne budi peder", "U dva će čistači odneti đubre", "Dobro jutro" plus political and satirical songs "Slušaj sine, obriši sline", "Kako je lepo biti glup" (inspired by Đorđević's service in Yugoslav People's Army), "Pravila, pravila", "Kad ti se na glavu sruši čitav svet" and "Ja ratujem sam". It sold more than 250,000 copies, which was less than expected, considering the sales of previous records.

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 A Tight Spot.

In 1998, Buvlja pijaca was polled the 64th on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav rock and pop albums in the book YU 100: najbolji albumi jugoslovenske rok i pop muzike (YU 100: The Best albums of Yugoslav pop and rock music).^[2]
