The line-up included three primary school friends: Vlada Divljan, Zdenko Kolar, and drummer Boža Jovanović as well as Divljan's high school friends Srđan Šaper and Nebojša Krstić. The band played their first gig in 1980 in Belgrade’s SKC (Student Cultural Centre), where they performed together with the leading bands of Belgrade's new wave scene.
Džuboks (=The Jukebox) magazine's critics declared Idoli the band of the year in 1982, and seven other European music magazines placed them fourth on the best-of rock bands list. In years that followed, many critics chose their album, "Odbrana i poslednji dani" (tran. The Defense and the Last Days), as the best ever record released in former Yugoslavia. The single "Retko te viđam sa devojkama" was the first mainstream gay-themed song from the Balkans.
After performing in Ljubljana, in March 1984, due to conflicts between the members, the band ceased to exist. The last Idoli release was a soundtrack for the movie Šest dana juna directed by Dinko Tucaković. Most of the soundtrack was written by Divljan, while other members took part in the recording process. Šaper did the vocals, Kolar and Isaković did the bass.

Jedina, voljena, zelim da, fukam te
Jedina, malena, volim te, sakam te
Malena, zelim da, fukam te, do zorata
Jedina, malena, volim te, sakam te
Malena, zelim da, fukam te, do zorata
Godine, jedina, mimo nas, prolaze
Bez tebe ne mogu da spavam
Bez tebe vise ja ne ucim ko pre
Bez tebe ne mogu da spavam
Bez tebe vise ja ne ucim ko pre

Citat:
Jedina moja devojcice
Ovo je tvoja pesma
Spevao sam je tebi
Tebi, inspiracijo moga zivota
Svaki tren proveden sa tobom
Ostao je zabelezen duboko u meni
Kuda god krenem, ma sta da radim
I na javi, I u snu
Tvoj lik mi je pred ocima
Treperi u izmaglici secanja
I gleda me blago
Tako nezno I nevino
Kako samo ti umes
Ti si kao bajka, mirisljava moja
Kao cvet koji nikad ne vene
Maco, ti si kao sunce koje nam zivot daje
Tako topla I sjajna, tako velika I zuta
Devojcice moja, jedina moja ljubavi
Volim te, volim te, volim te
The lyrics to Idoli's song Malena are quite controversial and explicit in nature. The song is about the singer's infatuation with a young girl (malena), and his desire to have sexual relations with her until the morning (do zorata). He is so consumed by his love for her that he cannot sleep, cannot focus on his studies and is wandering aimlessly trying to forget about her. The chorus repeats his desire to have sex with her, which he describes as fukam te. The song is borderline illegal and has received criticism for its objectification of young girls and promotion of sexual violence.
However, the song's writer Vlada Divljan said that the song was not about a real person, and that it was a tribute to his daughter, whom he called Malena. He said that he wrote the song to express his love for his daughter, and that the sexual lyrics were meant to be tongue-in-cheek. This explanation may soften the impact of the lyrics, but it is open to interpretation, and some may still perceive it as offensive or inappropriate.

Jedina moja devojcice
My only girl
Ovo je tvoja pesma
This is your song
Spevao sam je tebi
I wrote it for you
Tebi, inspiracijo moga zivota
To you, my life's inspiration
Svaki tren proveden sa tobom
Every moment spent with you
Ostao je zabelezen duboko u meni
Has been deeply imprinted in me
Kuda god krenem, ma sta da radim
Wherever I go, whatever I do
I na javi, I u snu
In waking and in dreams
Tvoj lik mi je pred ocima
Your image is in front of my eyes
Treperi u izmaglici secanja
It flickers in the mist of memories
I gleda me blago
And looks at me gently
Tako nezno I nevino
So tender and innocent
Kako samo ti umes
As only you can
Ti si kao bajka, mirisljava moja
You're like a fairy tale, my fragrant one
Kao cvet koji nikad ne vene
Like a flower that never fades
Maco, ti si kao sunce koje nam zivot daje
My darling, you're like the sun that gives us life
Tako topla I sjajna, tako velika I zuta
So warm and shining, so big and yellow
Devojcice moja, jedina moja ljubavi
My girl, my only love
Volim te, volim te, volim te
I love you, I love you, I love you
