Pljuni i zapjevaj moja Jugoslavijo (trans. Spit and Start Singing, My Yugoslavia) is the eighth studio album by Yugoslav rock band Bijelo Dugme, released in 1986.

Pljuni i zapjevaj moja Jugoslavijo is the band's first album recorded with vocalist Alen Islamović, who came to the band as replacement for Mladen Vojičić "Tifa". It is also the band's first album since 1977 live album Koncert kod Hajdučke česme to feature keyboardist Laza Ristovski as the official member of the band and the band's last studio album to feature keyboardist Vlado Pravdić.

The album was polled in 1998 as the 53rd 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).

After vocalist Željko Bebek left Bijelo Dugme during spring 1984, band leader Goran Bregović extended the offer of becoming Bijelo Dugme's new singer to Divlje Jagode vocalist Alen Islamović. Islamović turned it down, however, fearing Bebek might decide to return to the band. Twenty-three-year-old Mladen "Tifa" Vojičić thus became Bijelo Dugme's new vocalist, recording the 1984 Bijelo Dugme album with the band.

Vojičić's stay proved short, however, and after Vojičić left in 1985, Islamović got approached once again about joining the band. At the time, Divlje Jagode were based in London, pursuing an international career. Doubting Divlje Jagode's international prospects, Islamović decided to take the offer this time, leaving Divlje Jagode and returning to Yugoslavia to join Bijelo Dugme. Talking about the second vocalist change in two years and the band's personnel issues in general, Bregović stated at the time:
