There's been a murrrrrderrr (Croatian)

I've been learning Croatian for a few months and have come across this tongue twister in several language books: Na vrh brda vrba mrda, meaning: 'on the top of the hill the willow is swaying'.The letter "r" is often used as a vowel and requires some serious tongue-rolling. The last word in the phrase, "mrda" reminds me of the famous quote from Taggart, 'there's been a murrrrrderrr'. If you can say that correctly, Croatian is the language for you.
