From Wikipedia
Bećarac is a humorous form of folk song, originally from rural Slavonia, Croatia, and eventually spreading to southern Hungary and the Vojvodina region of Serbia. Its name comes from the Serbo-Croatian word bećar (from Turkish: bekâr), meaning "bachelor", "reveler" or "carouser". Bećarci verses are typically teasing, mocking and/or lascivious in nature, and are often sung by male company at village parties ("sijelo" or "kirvaj" (kermesse)) or weddings. However, they are also sung by women in equal footing, especially in kolo dance circles.
