left|thumb|Cacadou Look's debut ''Tko mari za čari'' (1987) was the first album by an all-female Yugoslav band.
Cacadou Look was formed in Opatija in 1983.<ref name="Glas Istre">{{cite web | url=http://www.glasistre.hr/?34f0244fcc3360c524995770c05912a8,TS,2261,3828,18937,24988,236255,, | title=Erotska čednost | last=Rizvanović | first=Nenad | work=[Glas Istre](/source/Glas_Istre) | date=April 25, 2007 | language=Croatian | accessdate=2008-08-13}}</ref> They were not the first all-female band in Yugoslavia &mdash; at the time, already active were [Tožibabe](/source/To%C5%BEibabe) from [Ljubljana](/source/Ljubljana) and [Boye](/source/Boye_(band)) from [Novi Sad](/source/Novi_Sad)<ref name="Glas Istre"/> &mdash; but they were the first to achieve a degree of mainstream popularity, helped by radio play of their two demo tracks, "Sama" and "Kao pjesma" (both 1987),<ref name="Yu Rock"/> and by TV appearances such as those on ''Stereovizija'',<ref name="Glas Istre"/> a popular 1980s music show broadcast by [Radio Television Zagreb](/source/Radio_Television_Zagreb).<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.leksikon-yu-mitologije.net/read.php?id=863 | title=Leksikon YU mitologije - Stereovizija | accessdate=2008-08-13 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070610105702/http://www.leksikon-yu-mitologije.net/read.php?id=863# | archive-date=2007-06-10 | url-status=dead }}</ref>

Their first album ''Tko mari za čari'' ([Jugoton](/source/Jugoton), 1987) was produced by [Husein Hasanefendić](/source/Husein_Hasanefendi%C4%87) and [Tomo in der Mühlen](/source/Tomo_in_der_M%C3%BChlen),<ref name="Yu Rock"/><ref name="discogs"/> and featured a guest appearance by [Vlada Divljan](/source/Vlada_Divljan). The album yielded three hit songs: "Sama", "Kao pjesma" and "Tako lako". Apart from "Tako lako", a cover of [Buddy Holly](/source/Buddy_Holly)'s "[It's So Easy](/source/It's_So_Easy!_(The_Crickets_song))",<ref name="Yu Rock"/><ref name="discogs"/> and "Ne dozvoli", which was written by Divljan,<ref name="Yu Rock"/> all songs on the album were composed by the band.<ref name="discogs">{{cite web | url=http://www.discogs.com/release/702914 | title=Cacadou Look - Tko Mari Za Čari | work=[Discogs](/source/Discogs) | accessdate=2008-09-09}}</ref> Despite these accomplishments, the band found working in the men-dominated music scene difficult at times, and occasional malicious remarks motivated them to work even harder.<ref name="Novi list"/>

Their second and equally successful<ref name="Glas Istre"/> album ''Uspavanka za Zoroa'' was released in 1989. Hit tracks from the album were "Baum bam bam", "Budi mi prijatelj", and "Krenite s nama",<ref name="Glas Istre"/> the latter a cover of [Bryan Ferry](/source/Bryan_Ferry)'s "[Let's Stick Together](/source/Let's_Stick_Together_(song))".<ref name="Yu Rock"/> An English version of "Budi mi prijatelj" — named "Be My Friend" — was also recorded, appearing on ''Yu-Go Pop'' (Jugoton, 1990),<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Cacadou+Look | title=Cacadou Look | work=[Discogs](/source/Discogs) | accessdate=2008-09-10}}</ref> a compilation of Yugoslav pop and rock artists performing their songs in English.

Cacadou Look played their last gig in [Zagreb](/source/Zagreb) on 25 May 1991.<ref name="Glas Istre"/> Members of the band were not willing to start solo careers — seeing them as meaningless without the band teamwork — and left the music scene.<ref name="Novi list">{{cite web | url=http://www.rirock.com/rirock-scena/cacadou-look-intervju/ | title=Cacadou Look - Intervju | work=[Novi list](/source/Novi_list) | date=December 2003 | language=Croatian | accessdate=2008-09-10}}</ref>
