While many of their contemporaries in the Belgrade and Zagreb scenes leaned toward punk or straight rock, Haustor introduced a more sophisticated, "world music" influence before the term was even popularized. "Bi mogo da mogu" features a laid-back, syncopated beat and a prominent trumpet melody that creates a melancholic yet groovy atmosphere.

Decades after its release, "Bi mogo da mogu" remains a staple of radio stations and "best of" lists across the former Yugoslavia. It is often cited alongside hits like "Moja prva ljubav" as a definitive anthem of a generation that sought artistic freedom and intellectual depth in their music.

The title translates roughly to "I Could If I Could," a phrase that encapsulates a sense of yearning and internal conflict. The lyrics are minimalist and evocative, typical of Rundek's writing style:

The song's enduring popularity lies in its timeless production; it doesn't sound dated like many 80s synth-pop tracks. Instead, its organic instrumentation and "cool" vocal delivery continue to resonate with new listeners discovering the rich history of the Balkan rock scene.
