"Retko te viđam sa devojkama" ("I Rarely See You With Girls") is the second song which appeared on the first single by Serbian new wave band Idoli (the first being "Pomoć, pomoć"). The song did not actually appear as a B-side as both of the songs appeared on the A-side while the B-side contained Slobodan Škerović's narrative poem called "Poklon".

History

Having formed as a band, Idoli got a chance to record their first single within a month after their formation, which was a true record in former Yugoslavia and later. The band recorded two songs which would appear as the A-side of the single given as a present with the May release of the "Vidici" magazine.

The song was credited to Vlada Divljan. However, other sources claim that it was written by the former Idoli member Aleksandar Prokopiev.[1][2] This is one of the first gay-themed songs in Yugoslavia (the first was "Neki dječaci" by Prljavo kazalište).
