Rimtutituki (; an anagram of Turim ti kitu, meaning I put my dick in you) was a Serbian rock supergroup formed by artists from Ekatarina Velika, Električni Orgazam, and Partibrejkers. Created as an anti-war initiative during the Yugoslav Wars and the 1991–1992 anti-war demonstrations in Belgrade, the ensemble sought to utilize music as a tool for social change.

The group consisted of Zoran Kostić "Cane" (lead vocals), Nebojša Antonijević "Anton" (guitar), Borko Petrović (drums), Srđan Gojković "Gile" (guitar and vocals), Goran Čavajda "Čavke" (drums), Zoran Radomirović "Švaba" (bass guitar), Ljubomir Jovanović "Jovec" (guitar), and Milan Mladenović (guitar and vocals).

History

Rimtutituki originated during a petition campaign opposing mobilization in Belgrade, where members from Ekatarina Velika, Električni Orgazam, and Partibrejkers gathered. The idea to form an anti-war band was proposed by Čavajda and Kostić and subsequently received approval.

During rehearsals held without Mladenović, Gojković and Antonijević composed the instrumental parts while Kostić wrote the lyrics, culminating in the single "Slušaj 'vamo" ("Listen Here"). Mladenović later contributed slide guitar and backing vocals. Although plans existed for a complete album, only this single—offering two versions—was recorded pro bono at Pink Studio and released through radio B92 on the PGP-RTS label. A music video accompanied the release and was later featured on B92's 1994 compilation Radio utopia (1989–1994).

The group promoted their work on March 2, 1992, at Belgrade's Cinema Museum. Due to the absence of official authorization for live concerts, they performed atop a truck trailer moving through city streets. Their subsequent show at Republic Square received official permission and showcased the anti-war message "S.O.S mir ili ne računajte na nas" ("S.O.S. Peace or Do not Count on Us"). After this campaign concluded, members returned to their main bands.

In September 1993, Rimtutituki joined Ekatarina Velika, Partibrejkers, and Zagreb’s Vještice for performances in Prague and Berlin as part of the concert series Ko to tamo pjeva ("Who's That Singing Over There"). Although several songs intended for a future album were played live, conflicting recording commitments prevented its realization. One track, "Keine Macht Den Drogen," was included on Električni Orgazam’s album Zašto da ne!. The supergroup disbanded shortly afterward.

Legacy

In 2000, "Slušaj 'vamo" was ranked number 27 on the Rock Express Top 100 Yugoslav Rock Songs of All Times list.

On April 4, 2010, Youth Initiative for Human Rights organized a commemorative concert at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy celebrating the 18th anniversary of Rimtutituki. The event featured performances by Repetitor, Multietnička Atrakcija, Lira Vega, Stuttgart Online, and Superkvartet. The latter was a one-off ensemble comprising Zoran Radomirović "Švaba" (guitar; Rimtutituki, Električni Orgazam), Aleksandar Grujić "Alex" (keyboards; Lellbach), Miroslav Mišković "Jozzef" (electronics; Jozzef and the Children), and Goran Smiljanić "Smilja" (vocals). Superkvartet performed a reinterpretation of "Slušaj 'vamo".
