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).
I can't complain
I always try
I know no other way
I go against the grain
And eat some pie
I don't feel well today
I don't feel need to compromise
It's something I despise
I think that I should never try
Eating pie
I'll change my mind three times a day
It all happens against my will
What must go down must always come up
So I can search for my diet pill
Everything I do is so overdone
It has to be that way
I want it all or else I want it none
There are no shades of gray
If I'm crying out to everyone
