Večeras vas zabavljaju muzičari koji piju (trans. Tonight You Will Be Entertained by Musicians Who Drink) is the fifth studio album from Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band Riblja Čorba.
The album was polled in 1998 as the 80th 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).[1]

Although the band's guitarist Momčilo Bajagić had already started his solo career, he contributed greatly to this album by authoring two and writing music for two songs. Also, his band-mate from Bajaga i Instruktori Vladimir Golubović temporarily replaced Vicko Milatović, who was serving in the army, on drums. Večeras vas zabavljaju muzičari koji piju would be the only album recorded with Golubović and the last album before Bajagić and Rajko Kojić left the band.
As Riblja Čorba's record label PGP-RTB did not want to finance recording in London, the band moved to Jugoton. However, Večeras vas zabavljaju muzičari koji piju would be the only album the band released through Jugoton.
Immediately after the album was released, the state's censors declared the songs "Mangupi vam kvare dete" and "Besni psi" "ethically unacceptable". "Besni psi" caused an international scandal. Because of the lyrics "Grčki sverceri, arapski studenti, negativni elementi, maloletni delikventi i besni psi" ("Greek smugglers, Arabian students, negative elements, juvenile hooligans and mad dogs"), the embassies of three Arabian countries and Zaire protested, complaining that songwriter Bora Đorđević had equated foreign students and mad dogs. The Yugoslav Ministry of culture ordered an analysis of the song by the experts.
With a somewhat darker atmosphere, the album was not as nearly successful as Riblja Čorba's previous albums, bringing only one hit, Momčilo Bajagić's gentle ballad "Kad hodaš".
The album was polled in 1998 as the 80th 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).[2]
In 2006, the song "Kad hodaš" was ranked #4 on the B92 Top 100 Domestic Songs List.[3]
