Disciplina Kičme (Serbian Cyrillic: Дисциплина Кичме; trans. Backbone Discipline), currently working under the slightly altered name of Disciplin A Kitschme, is a Serbian band, one of the two spin-offs of the seminal Yugoslav new wave and later post-punk band Šarlo Akrobata, the other being Ekatarina Velika. Musically, they are best described as an aggressive and artistic rhythmic explosion, experimenting and seeking out new expressiveness while finding inspiration in the traditions of punk rock, funk, jazz fusion, motown, jungle and the works of Jimi Hendrix.

The band was formed by former Limunovo Drvo and Šarlo Akrobata bassist and vocalist Dušan Kojić "Koja" in late 1981 with former Urbana Gerila drummer Nenad Krasavac "Kele". The lineup also featured Radnička Kontrola bassist Srđan Marković "Đile", but after a short period of time, he left the band. The following year Krasavac went to serve the Yugoslav People's Army and was replaced by former Radnička Kontrola drummer Srđan "Žika" Todorović. The band also prepared material for their debut album, but due to the non-commercial musical style, the major Yugoslav record labels denied releasing it.

Sviđa mi se da ti ne bude prijatno (I Like When You Feel Uncomfortable) was released in very small circulation by Slovenian record label Helidon in early 1983. The record producer was Kojić with the help of Toni Jurij, and Partibrejkers guitarist Nebojša Antonijević "Anton" (signed as Riki Rif). The tracks "Uživaj" ("Enjoy"), "Zgodne kretnje" ("Attractive Movement"), "Mladost ne opravdava besvest" ("Youth Does Not Justify Senselessness") and "Nemoj" ("Do Not") presented Kojić's dominant bass lines combined with the aggressive sound of Todorović's drums, similar to the style of Šarlo Akrobata drummer Ivan Vdović "VD". A rerecorded Šarlo Akrobata unreleased track "Pečati" ("Stamps"), written by Kojić, appeared on the album featuring a part of the Yugoslav anthem "Hej Sloveni", as an homage to the Jimi Hendrix cover of "The Star-Spangled Banner".
