[2] The group chose their name after, during their walk in Kopar streets, one of them spotted an advertisement for Camel cigarettes and started repeating the name of the brand, to which another member added "Kameleoni" ("Chameleons").

[2] In the spring of 1966, at the Championship of Yugoslav Ensembles festival held in Zagreb they shared first place with the already prominent Roboti, and Furlanič won the first prize in the vocalists category.

[1] This success enabled them to record several songs for Radio Kopar[2] and perform all across Yugoslavia, soon gaining the reputation of competent instrumentalists.

[1] The EP featured the title track, the songs "Looking for Me" and "Sjaj izgubljene ljubavi" and a cover of The Animals version of the blues standard "See See Rider".

Eventually, music magazine Džuboks revealed that both Kameleoni and Petrović used verses from the poem "Ode: Intimations of Immortality" by English Romantic poet William Wordsworth.

[1] In the spring of 1967, the band held a sold-out concert in Ljubljana's Tivoli Hall and won the first place on the Second Festival of Yugoslav Vocal-Instrumental Ensembles in Zagreb.

[6] Despite the success, at the beginning of 1968, dissatisfaction with the share of the profits led to split into two factions, both of them performing under the name Novi Kameleoni (The New Chameleons).

[7] After the release of the EP, Furlanič left the band due to his mandatory stint in the Yugoslav army, and was replaced by Ivan Mojzer.

[9] After Mojzer left the band to serve his mandatory army stint, they were rejoined by Furlanič, but personnel changes and disagreements within the group led to disbandment in 1969.
