 In the fall of 1980, in accordance with a newly passed law in Yugoslavia requiring high school graduates to immediately serve their compulsory military service in the Yugoslav People's Army, nineteen-year-old Sexon had to report to the army, which meant being away from Sarajevo and the band for a whole year.<sup>[5]</sup> With Sexon temporarily gone, the band got a new member – Mustafa Čengić (a.k.a. MuČe or Mujo Snažni) who brought in Mladen Mitić (a.k.a. Munja or Mitke) on bass guitar. They were occasionally accompanied by Mirko Srdić (later to become known as Elvis J. Kurtović), Zoran Degan, Boris Šiber, Samir Ćeremida, etc. In December 1980, they managed to get the band on the bill of a Želimir Altarac Čičak-organized new music showcase at Dom mladih in Sarajevo.<sup>[6]</sup> The event would be the band's first-ever live public performance, although had played a small show at Sarajevo's Fifth Gymnasium for their friends a few days earlier, on 30 November 1980, as preparation for the Dom mladih gig.<sup>[7]</sup> Shortly before Čičak's show at Dom mladih, the band changed its name to Pseudobluz bend Zabranjeno Pušenje. Over time, they dropped the first part and continued as just Zabranjeno Pušenje for brevity.
-Their first recording, "Penzioneri na more idu zimi" (" Retirees take their Vacation in Winter"), was made for Radio Sarajevo in early 1981.<sup>[8]</sup> From May 1981, Karajlić (and a few other band members on occasion) became involved with the Top lista nadrealista radio segment, which aired weekly as part of the Primus program on Radio Sarajevo's channel two. "Penzioneri na more idu zimi" began to get some modest airplay on Radio Sarajevo throughout the year, leading to an increasing number of youths in the city making the connection between the band and the weekly comedy radio segment. In early fall 1981, along with many other upstart Sarajevo bands such as Zov, Formula 4, Ema, Cod, Rezonansa, Super 98, Negra, Žaoka, Ozbiljno Pitanje, Linija Života, Lucifer, Tečni Kristal, Tina, and Bedž, Zabranjeno Pušenje got booked for a multi-act gig as opening acts for headliners Indexi, Bulevar, [[Paraf]], Zana, Aerodrom, Laboratorija Zvuka, and Bijelo Dugme – all part of the 'Mladost Sutjeske' event commemorating and celebrating the Battle of Sutjeska from World War II. Held at the Skenderija sports arena on 3 October 1981, it was the band's biggest show up to that point and they left a memorable impression as singer Karajlić and drummer Đozić were about to leave for their mandatory army services just as guitarist Sexon was completing his.<sup>[9]</sup>

-In 1996, Sejo Sexon and Elvis J. Kurović, along with members of the Top lista nadrealista pit orchestra such as Sejo Kovo, Đani Pervan, Dušan Vranić, and Samir Ćeremida had become the core of the renewed band's lineup. During that time, the band worked on their new studio album. Their fifth album, ''Fildžan viška'' (" A Cup to Spare") was released through Dallas Records and Nimfa Sound in 1997.<sup>[20]</sup> Sejo Sexon produced the album and wrote every song with some help by Elvis J. Kurtović. ''Fildžan viška'' produced four singles; "Možeš imat' moje tijelo", "Mile Hašišar", "Pubertet" and "Fildžan viška". Music videos for those singles were produced by the band members. Production know-how from Top lista nadrealista has proven to be valuable in recording music videos,<sup>[12]</sup> which were rated very well in [[:Category:Croatia|Croatia]], [[:Category:Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnia and Herzegovina]] and [[:Category: Slovenia|Slovenia]] where the band performed regularly. The musicians included in this tour were Sejo Sexon, Elvis J. Kurtović, Predrag Bobić, Zoran Stojanović, Nedžad Podžić, Marin Gradac, Bruno Urlić and Branko Trajkov, while Samir Ćeramida and Đani Pervan accompanied them occasionally.<sup>[1]</sup> The same lineup released the first live album ''Hapsi sve!'' through Croatia Records and A Records in 1998. The songs were recorded over two nights at Dom Sportova, in Zagreb on July 10, 1997, and at the Metalac schoolyard in Sarajevo on September 25, 1997. At the same time, the band had two Rambo Amadeus guest appearances at their concerts for the ''Fildžan viška'' album promotion in Sarajevo. Those appearances were the first post-war performance by a Serbian-Montenegrin artist in the Bosnian Federation. In early 1997, Dario Vitez became the executive producer, public relations manager and tour manager of the band.<sup>[1]</sup>
