"'''Igraju se delije'''" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Играју се делије", <small>lit.</small> "The Heroes Play") is the title track of [[Igraju se delije|the album of the same name]], performed by prominent war singer [[Baja Mali Knindža]]. It would initially appear on [[Igraju se delije|''Igraju se delije'']] and would be included in the 1998 SuperTon compilation, ''The Best Off''. It would be referenced in the Dutch academic paper ''TURBO-FOLK EN NATIONALISME IN SERVIË'' where it was misinterpreted as a song condoning the actions of war criminals.<ref>[https://libstore.ugent.be/fulltxt/RUG01/001/415/012/RUG01-001415012_2010_0001_AC.pdf TURBO-FOLK EN NATIONALISME IN SERVIË].

The song is about a man who is down on his luck and would love to hear some patriotic songs to feel better. The song's opening is reminiscent of a tune one would play to signal the arrival of a major figure/royalty in medieval times. Despite the similarities in its namesake, the song does not make any references to "Igrale se delije."
