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 the one of the first Yugoslavian, or more precisely, first Serbian song about homosexuality[1] (first one was "Neki dječaci" from Prljavo kazalište in Zagreb, Croatia). The main focal point of the lyrics is a young man who is rarely seen amongst members of the opposite sex.
