For the album "
Odbrana i poslednji dani ",Idoli used the book with the same title byBorislav Pekić . The novel deals with a man of the early forties who, as a lifeguard on theTisa river, found a drowned German soldier. The man, not very educated and informed about the war, got arrested. His mental disorientation and inability to understand the time he is living in, nor the situation he is in was used in the song but moved into the present moment and under the city lights.The "
Odbrana i poslednji dani " tour featured "Kenozoik" as the opening track. The track was the only one to become a nationwide hit.Cover versions
