VIS Idoli was the first and only EP by the Yugoslav new wave band Idoli. The cover of the EP is the Red Nude, an act by Amedeo Modigliani.

The euphoria Idoli have made with their single Maljčiki / Retko te viđam sa devojkama resulted a great expectation on the next release. The band entered the studio in April 1981. Photographs from the recording sessions were released in newspapers and magazines. The band recorded six songs, including two cover versions. The whole material was released on a 12" self-titled EP.

The band covered in an Elvis Costello style Chuck Berry's hit “Come On” but with lyrics in Serbo‐Croatian entitled "Hajde!" and "Devojko mala" for which the lyrics were taken from Nebojša Krstić's poetry book "O, Ima Načina". "Hajde!" appeared on the Dečko koji obećava movie soundtrack.

The record design and production was done by Ivan Stančić Piko and the cover was chosen to be "The Red Nude" act by Amedeo Modigliani. Guest appearances featured Film members Malden Juričić (also known as Max Wilson) who made guest appearance playing harmonica and Jurij Novoselić (also known as Kuzma Videosex) who played organ.

VIS Idoli was also released as a double cassette EP with Film's Live in Kulušić EP entitled Zajedno. A remastered version was released on the band's 2007 box set with two bonus tracks.
