1. Formed by Nagy Feró and Németh Alajos in 1982, Budapest, Hungary, Bikini is one of the most successful Hungarian rock band of the eighties. Nagy Feró's (also known as "the cockroach of the nation", as he called himself) former punk band, the legendary Beatrice split up in 1982, after having serious problems with communist authorities, when they formed this band.
The band music and lyrics was, like much of the communist era, filled with hidden meanings against the oppression. With Nagy Feró in the front of the Bikini they produced two studio albums, which were very progressive, post modern punk rock albums. Their debut was "Hová lett?" (1983), followed by the "XX. századi híradó" (1984) one year later. However as the eroding of Hungarian communist regime became more obvious and faster, Feró left the Bikini for reuniting the Beatrice.
In 1985 D. Nagy Lajos arrived to the band as a lead singer, when they progressed to a more accessible and melodic rock sound, and produced legendary and very successful hit songs like "Közeli helyeken" or "Ki visz haza?", which are still very popular and often played in Hungary. The band split up in 1992 but reunited in 1997.
Members are: D. Nagy Lajos, Németh Alajos, Lukács Peta, Mihalik Viktor, Makovics Dénes, Bördén Szabolcs.
Some former members are:
Nagy Feró (vocals 1982-85), Vedres Joe (guitar 1982-91, 1997-1998), Németh Gábor (drums, 1982-1985), Berecz Endre (drums, 1989-1991), Hirleman Bertalan (drums, 1985-1989, 1997-1998), Gallai Péter (keyboards 1985-2003), Daczi Zsolt (guitar 1991-2004), Csillag Endre (guitars 2004-2006), Kató Zoltán (saxophone, 1989-1998).

2. Bikini (electro-pop dance music duo) is Nigel Diamond and Olivier Olivier. Their music is like Salinger on MDMA. Diamond is originally from Miami and Olivier was classically trained at the Royal Conservatory.
Olivier Olivier is the son of the late Indian poet Fateh Bains and moved to Canada where he attended Glen-Lyon Norfolk School, a school chosen for its musical program affiliated with the Royal Conservatory of Music. It was here Olivier met Nigel Diamond, who was sent down after he was expelled from his previous school.
It wasn’t until after Glen-Lyon Norfolk that the two began to make music together. Olivier composes all the melodies in the fall of each year, drawing his inspiration from the poetry he writes during the summer. He records vocals, exports all his drafts without titles or form to Diamond. Diamond spends the following spring arranging Olivier's melodies, rhythm sequences and vocal treatments, adding his own lines. The result is a finished record. Nothing is sent back to Olivier. The songs are then sent from Diamond to be mastered and released.

Segítség, segítség,
beszakad alattunk a rianó jég.
Segítség, segítség,
Adjon az ég nekünk mindig jobbat,
ne csak rosszat, ne csak rosszat.
Adjon az ég nekünk mindig jobbat,
ne csak rosszat, ne csak rosszat,
Sok jóból jó sokat,
adjon az ég nekünk jó sokat!
Sok jóból jó sokat,
adjon az ég nekünk jó sokat!
Mónika, Éva, Katalin és Mária,
szerelmünket a Vénusz vigyázta!
Barbara, Emőke, gyönyörű Diána,
a végtelen most is a nevünket kiáltja.
Segítség, segítség,
beszakad alattunk a rianó jég.
Segítség, segítség,
Beszakad alattunk a rianó jég, legyen elég!
Adjon az ég nekünk mindig jobbat,
ne csak rosszat, ne csak rosszat.
Adjon az ég nekünk mindig jobbat,
ne csak rosszat, ne csak rosszat.
Sok jóból jó sokat,
adjon az ég nekünk jó sokat!
Sok jóból jó sokat,
adjon az ég nekünk jó sokat!
The song "Adjon az ég mindig jobbat" by Bikini talks about the need for better things in life, especially during difficult times. The lyrics mention specific dates such as April 1241, August 1526, June 1920, and November 1956, which are all significant dates in Hungarian history. The line "beszakad alattunk a rianó jég" means "the Rianó ice is collapsing beneath us," possibly reflecting a sense of instability or danger in the world.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Adjon az ég nekünk mindig jobbat," which translates to "may the heavens always give us something better," and emphasizes the importance of hoping for better things even in challenging or uncertain circumstances. The song also lists several women's names, implying that love is a source of strength and inspiration.
Overall, the song speaks to the human desire for improvement and the belief that better things are possible even in difficult times. Though the specific historical references and names may be lost on non-Hungarian listeners, the message of hope and resilience is universal.

Időről időre újra meg szoktam hallgatni ezt a számot, amikor nehéz feladattal kerülök szembe, vagy csak nehéz az élet. Van benne valami gigantikus, sámánisztikus, nagyon magasztos, amiből csak úgy árad az erő.
