Boa, BoA, or BOA may refer to:
Boa is the debut album by the Croatian and former Yugoslav eponymous rock band. It was released in 1982.
Boa is a Croatian music group, which was especially prominent during the 1980s around the former SFR Yugoslavia.
The band's early history started in Zagreb, then SR Croatia in 1974, when its founding members Mladen Puljiz and Slavko Remenarić, switched their interest from classical music to rock music, inspired by art rock acts such as Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, David Bowie, Roxy Music and Peter Gabriel.
The group started its concert activity in 1979 with a line-up consisted of: Mladen Puljiz (keyboards, vocals), Slavko Remenarić (guitar), Igor Šoštarić (drums) and Damir Košpić (bass guitar). The band moved towards the then actual New Romantic sound and fashion and after the release of their debut album for Suzy in 1982, they were voted by the readers of the prominent Yugoslav musical magazine Džuboks as the best upcoming act of the year.
Their next album Ritam strasti (Rhythm of passion) followed by around a hundred concerts around former Yugoslavia brought them even higher popularity. Despite the fact that their next album Govor tijela (Body language) included some successful hits, the band fell into creative crisis and thus the group halted its activities until 1989 when the group got a new rhythm section consisted of the drummer Paolo Sfeci (former member of Aerodrom and Parni valjak) and the bass player Zvonimir Bučević (prominent session musician).
All caught up in a crazy dance
living on rhythm and circumstance
all washed up can't you see
that's your problem
make a change in our hum-drum lives
to re-awake and realize
we're all living on a time bomb
that's gonna blow us to pieces
pressure's on heart attack
science fiction is science fact
watch your back when the bullets fly
that's our problem
>> So do I, how do I, when do I do wrong
take a look, take a look around town
get get get along down
So do I, how do I, when do I do wrong
take a look, take a look around town
hey hey hey yeah, no no no yeah
so do I, how do I, when do I do wrong
sing it out, sing it sing it out loud
come on, come on, come yeah now>>
Crazy peoples right to speak
pushing and a shoving
on a one way street
that's enough I draw the line
go to sleep for a long long time
blinkers on straight ahead
button my lip that's what I said
listening, I can't justify
oh, the pain in me I cry
pressures on heart attack...
