Sa druge strane jastuka (trans. On the Other Side of the Pillow) is the second studio album from Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band Bajaga i Instruktori, released in 1985. Although it is the first album released under the name Bajaga i Instruktori (the previous one, Pozitivna geografija, was originally released as Momčilo Bajagić "Bajaga"'s solo album), Sa druge strane jastuka is considered Bajaga i Instruktori second studio album by the band themselves.
The album was polled in 1998 as the 13th 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).
In a 2009 interview with journalist Aleksandar Arežina, Bajagić sommented on the songs:
"We played the song for the first time on a concert in Kulušić. [...] I had a good riff, and I wanted a song for concert openings. The riff goes, then the drum, [...] then the whole band. We used to open and close concerts with '220' for a long time. I always loved the songs like "Should I Stay or Should I Go", the ones with a good riff. Nele Stamatović played the solo which we didn't like straight away, so we made an agreement - he will play the solo, and we will play it backwards. The most interesting thing now is that when [Marko Nježić] Kića learned to play the solo, he, without knowing, played the solo like on the album."
The song is a cover of Melanie Safka song "What Have They Done to My Song Ma". Bajagić commented:
"I loved that Melanie Safka's song when I was a kid because it had a good melody and a stanza in French, which I thought was interesting. Bata did the arrangements, and I think he did it great. He played the harmonica solo on the synthy, and did it great. It was among the first songs [from the album] to become a hit, because people already knew it. Cukić sings a part of it. Deša [Cukić] is great on stage, [...] he can't stay still."
