1. Time was a rock band from ex-Yugoslavia that was formed in 1971 in Zagreb, Croatia, by Dado Topić (vocals), after leaving his previous band Korni Grupa.
The original lineup consisted of Topić, Tihomir Pop Asanović (organ), Vedran Božić (guitar), Mario Mavrin (bass), Ratko Divjak (drums), and Brane Lambert Živković (piano and flute). Time frequently changed lineup, and after three albums and many tours disbanded in late 1977. Topić embarked on a solo career.
In 1998 and 2001 Time reunited to play a limited number of live concerts, and still play together as a rock trio.
Time played a style of progressive rock with some jazz influences, perhaps similar to musical notions expressed by Genesis or Steely Dan. The first album, Time I (1972), had prominent Hammond organ, piano, and flute. Time II (1975) had a harder sound and included several ballads, while the third album, Život u čizmama s visokom petom (1976), was a turn towards more jazz-funk production style.

Hangin' by the backstage door, decked out like a queen
Your body's sayin' 21, but your face says 17
My intuition tells me, that you're waitin' for the band
Before you get your hopes up, one thing understand
Wild and loose, that's how it's got to be
Wild and loose, the only life I know
Just havin' one big party from show to show
Talkin' trash to Jimmy Jam, tell us where the party's at
We don't care who you came with, we'll take care of that
Just meet us at the motel, room 602
Tell your mama you won't be home, 'cause we got plans for you
Wild and loose, that's how it's got to be
'cause that's the only kind of dame that appeals to me
Wild and loose, the only life I know
Just havin' one big party from show to show
Universal freak delight, where'd you get those thighs?
Where did you get the nerve to wear that miniskirt so high?
Don't worry, baby, I can keep a secret for as long as snow is white
Hey Jesse? Yeah, come here man, guess what I did last night?
Wild and loose, that's how it's got to be
'cause that's the only kind of dame that appeals to me
Wild and loose, the only life I know
Just havin' one big party from show to show

The lyrics of Time's song "Wild and Loose" describe a wild night for a rock band member and the kind of woman he is attracted to. The song begins with the singer observing a young girl backstage who seems to be waiting for the band. He describes her as looking like she's 21 but her face tells a different story. The band's taste in women is clarified- they are attracted to those who are wild and loose. The singer asks a woman where the party is and, disregarding who came with her, invites her to follow them to the motel for the night. The song then becomes a dialogue where the singer asks a woman how she got her thighs and compliments her miniskirt before going on to promise confidentiality. The singer urges women to scream and let themselves go, claiming that there's no middle ground between coming or not coming. Towards the end, the lyrics descend into chant mode: "Wild and loose" with the occasional commentary thrown in.
It is important to note that the lyrics and the attitude towards women in "Wild and Loose" comes from a time when many rock songs were openly sexist and misogynistic. The song reflects the rock star lifestyle of the 80s, where partying, drugs, and groupies reigned supreme. The song is musically driven by a steady beat and electric guitar riff that creates a head-banging atmosphere. It has a very simplistic chorus that is easy to sing along with, making it a crowd-pleaser.
