"Hey Babu Riba" ( _sr. Bal na vodi) is a 1987 Yugoslavian romantic-drama film directed by Jovan Aćin. The screenplay (in Serbo-Croatian with English subtitles) is by Jovan Aćin, from the memories of Petar Jankovic, George Zecevic and Mr. Acin with music by Zoran Simjanović.

Plot

Evidently part of the story is based on Radomir Perica's life events who is jailed for getting and flaunting a Mickey Mouse tattoo. The title "Hey Babu Riba" seems to come from Lionel Hampton's "Hey Ba Ba Re-Bop". Esther's character is an homage to Esther Williams whose music from Bathing Beauty is a main tune in the movie. There is also "Comin' Round the Mountain" sung in Serbo-Croatian.
