Doživjeti stotu (trans. Live to Be 100) is the fifth studio album by Yugoslav rock band Bijelo Dugme, released in 1980.
The album marked the band's shift from their folk-influenced hard rock sound towards new wave. It is the band's second and the last studio album to feature Zoran "Điđi" Jankelić on drums.
Doživjeti stotu was polled in 1998 as the 35th on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav rock and pop albums in the book YU 100: najbolji albumi jugoslovenske rok i pop muzike (YU 100: The Best Albums of Yugoslav Pop and Rock Music).
During late 1970s and early 1980s, the Yugoslav rock scene saw the emergence of a number of new wave and punk bands. Noting this trend in popular music in the country, Bijelo Dugme leader Goran Bregović reportedly became fascinated with the developing scene based around the emerging bands, especially with the works of Azra and Prljavo Kazalište. During 1980, the band decided to move towards new sound. In December 1980, Bijelo Dugme released new wave-influenced album Doživjeti stotu.
Doživjeti stotu was the first Bijelo Dugme album produced by the band's guitarist and leader Goran Bregović. Unlike the songs from the band's previous albums, which were prepared much before album recording, most of the songs from Doživjeti stotu were created during the recording sessions. As the recordings had to be finished before the scheduled mastering in London, Bregović had to use cocaine to stay awake, writing the lyrics in the nick of time. The saxophone on the recording was played by jazz saxophonist Jovan Maljoković and avant-garde musician Paul Pignon; Bregović stated that they originally invited Stjepko Gut to play brass sections, but that he refused.
