KUD Idijoti (translation: Cultural Artistic Society "Idiots" - note that the word Idijoti is deliberately spelled wrong, the correct Croatian form of the word is idioti. Also note that 'KUD' means 'Kulturno umjetničko društvo', widely used for mostly folkore groups with very socialistic -traditional touch) was a punk-rock band from Pula, Croatia. The band was formed 1981 and released the first album in 1986. In 1987 they won the Youth Festival prize in Subotica in competition with over 300 bands and became one of the most popular bands on the punk scene of the former Yugoslavia. After winning the first prize they have gained wider popularity giving performances in Switzerland, Germany, Hungary and Italy. Particularly in Italy in Reggio Calabria, the festival of Mediterranean countries almost turned out in an international incident, after carabinieri stopped the song Bandiera Rossa.

Their first album, "Bolivia R'N'R", compilation of the first three singles and three previously unreleased songs, was published in January 1990 by the independent German record label "Incognito Records." In May of the same year they published the next album "Mi smo ovdje samo zbog para" (We're Only in It for the Money), which until now has remained their biggest seller. Due to the breakup of Yugoslavia, there was briefly delayed the release of their third album, "Glupost je neuništiva" (Stupidity is indestructible), which was released at the end of the 1992. Next year they published album "Tako je govorio Zaratusta" (Thus Spoke Zaratusta), which was also their first album was released on CD. It is found on one of the most famous songs: "Za tebe" (For You), and "O Bella Ciao".
