In 2006 the song "Utisci" was ranked #99 the B92 Top 100 Domestic Songs List.[3] The song has also been used as the theme song for the Olja Bećković political talk show Utisak nedelje broadcast on RTV Studio B and later on B92.[4] For the 20th anniversary of the talk show the Viva Vox Choir from Belgrade covered "Utisci" and the version has become the new theme song for the show.[5]
