"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

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 is widely regarded as the first Yugoslavian, or more precisely, Serbian song about homosexuality. The main focal point of the lyrics is a young man who is rarely seen amongst members of the opposite sex.
