'''"Tata"''' (Serbian Cyrillic: "Тата", <small>lit.</small> "Father") is a song written and performed by prominent Serb war singer [[Baja Mali Knindža]]. Following its exposure from YouTube channels such as Kocayine and National Radio, the song has gained a cult following in the West due to its controversial lyrics.

==Music and lyrics==
"Tata" satirizes the negative perception of Serbs, exaggerating and playing off said perceptions in an ironic manner. The song's melody is simple with verses consisting of just one unique stanza. The verse, bridge and chorus are recited twice. The song uses three variants of "father": "tata", the informal variant "tajo", and "stari" (which literally translates to "old" but is used in the same way as the English idiom, "my old man").

In a 2021 interview, Baja revealed that his father fought in the war,<ref>[https://archive.is/fSQqQ "13.01.2021 Interview"]. ''Informer.rs.'' 13 January 2021. Archived from [https://informer.rs/dzet-set/estrada/578438/baja-mali-knindza-ispovest-hit-dodatak the original] on 4 January 2023. Retrieved 6 February 2024.</ref> though it is unknown if this was a contributing factor towards the song's creation.

In the West, the song would gain infamy due to the translation of its first stanza, "My dad is a war criminal". This line, translated and untranslated, would become the name Westerners are the most familiar with. Most uploads featuring the song state that the song was made to "make fun of anti-Serb propaganda" in the description, though do not elaborate further. Despite the ironic theme of "Tata", international viewers interpret the song as condoning the act of war crimes.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTyLW3F6W44 "Serbian Patriot Music #23 - My dad is a war criminal!"].

Moj je tata zločinac iz rata

Vi se potrudite pa ga osudite,
nema niko muda da vodi ga do suda

Moj je tajo po Bosni osvaj'o

Vi se potrudite pa ga osudite,
nema niko muda da vodi ga do suda

Moj je stari opasan ustvari

Vi se potrudite pa ga osudite,
nema niko muda da vodi ga do suda
