"Retko te viđam sa devojkama" (transl. 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").

History

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 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".

The song is widely regarded as one of the first Yugoslav, or more precisely, the first Serbian song about homosexuality (the first Yugoslav one was "Neki dječaci" by Prljavo Kazalište from Zagreb, Croatia). The main focal point of the lyrics is a young man who is rarely seen amongst members of the opposite sex.
