Serious may refer to:
"Serious" is a song by American singer and songwriter Gwen Stefani from her debut solo studio album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. (2004). The track was written by Stefani and her No Doubt bandmate, Tony Kanal. Kanal also produced the song with Mark "Spike" Stent, who Stefani and Kanal previously worked with on No Doubt's fifth studio album, Rock Steady (2001).
Musically, the track is a general pop song that takes influence from synthpop and new wave music. An accompanying music video for the song was filmed in Los Angeles but never released for undisclosed reasons. However, a low-quality clip of the video surfaced on YouTube in 2006.
"Serious" received highly positive reviews from music critics upon release and was frequently compared to the works of both early Madonna and Kylie Minogue, particularly Minogue's track, "Fever". The song was also received well for it's mirror production to 80's songs and overall catchiness. Stefani performed the track on her 2005 Harajuku Lovers Tour during the encore of the show, where she danced with the Harajuku Girls in nurse costumes.
Serious is an album by American blues guitarist Luther Allison, released in 1987 on the Blind Pig label.

The Field Marshal, Count Robert Zichy-Ferraris from the prominent Hungarian family of Zichy, established the settlement of the Toba in 1789. During the first half or 19th century, Zichy sold his property to Henry, Count of Chambord, pretender to the throne of France. Henry appointed Barron Cyril Billet as his governor. Baron Billet and his sons were managing property for approximately 50 years. During that period, they were playing important role in the social life of the region. The castle, small family residential house and Roman Catholic Church of Holy Trinity were built during that period. By the mid-19th century, settlement was known as the Great Toba, and the population of the village mostly consisted of the tobacco growers. After the death of Henry, Robert I, Duke of Parma inherited his property. After Duke's death, his son Elias of Bourbon-Parma sold the property to the Bank of Timisoara. After the World War I, whole region, which was once part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, become the part of newly formed Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
