After his return from the army , Marjanović appeared at the Opatija Music Festival with the songs " Prodavac novina " ( " Newspaper Seller " ) and " Pesma raznosača mleka " ( " The Milkman Song " ) , winning three awards . In March 1961 , his performance on a Zlatni mikrofon ( '' Golden Microhone '' ) festival in Belgrade 's Trade Union Hall caused a media scandal and what is often described as the first post-WWII street protest in Belgrade . The festival featured leading pop singers of Yugoslavia ; Marjanović decided to appeare on the festival performing the songs " Zvižduk u 8 " and " Milord " ( a cover of Édith Piaf 's " Milord " ) . However , he was soon instructed to pick another song instead of " Milord " ; it was explained to him that " Milord " is " too dramatic " and that it would " hinder the jury in making an objective decision " . Marjanović decided to perform the song " Carolina , dai ! " , which was two months earlier performed at the eleventh Sanremo Music Festival . The festival jury should have awarded five Golden Microphone Awards to five best singers , however , they decided there are not enough singers worthy of the award . Their decision was to award only three Golden Microphones , to Lola Novaković , Nada Knežević and Anica Zubović . After the announcer Dušan Vidak red the jury 's decision and the names of the awarded singers , the audience got enraged with the fact that Marjanović is not among them . The audience started booing , chanting Marjanović 's name and leaving the Hall , while the confused announcer proclaimed that the radio and television transmission had to be interrupted due to technical problems . This caused a large number of people to go out of their homes and go towards the Hall to see what is really happening . About 7,000 people gathered in front of the Hall . Some time after midnight , Marjanović tried to slip away through the back door of the Hall . After spotting him , the crowd carried him on their hands to an automobile parked in front of Hotel Moskva . There they placed him on the roof of the car , where he started singing . The audience sang with him for the next two hours , while the traffic stood still
