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.

Ami a szívemen
Bikini Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Amikor majd tőlem kérdezik
mit üzen a szív a szívnek
ne reméld hogy jópofa dolgokat mondok

Tudod, itt a szív, az mást jelent
ose lennél tőle boldog
ahogy nézem, vacakul állnak a dolgok

Ami a szívemen az van a számon
nálam ez az etikus
Ami a szívemen az van a számon
nem vagyok politikus

Tudod én a tévén bámulom
ahogy fűznek szóba szókat
ahogy mindent jól bele megmagyaráznak

Sose nézd a kódolt híreket
ami a lényeg, láthatatlan
csak a szíved érzi, hogy itt bizony baj van.

Ami a szívemen az van a számon
nálam ez az etikus

Ami a szívemen az van a számon
nem vagyok politikus

Overall Meaning

The song "Ami a szívemen" by the Hungarian band Bikini is a powerful statement about honesty and authenticity in communication. The lyrics are essentially a warning against being disingenuous or deceitful in expressing one's thoughts and feelings. The singer declares that when asked what his heart wants to say to another heart, he will not sugarcoat his message or try to be clever. He acknowledges that his message may not always be pleasant or popular, but he opts for candor over manipulation.

The song encourages listeners to trust their instincts and not be swayed by media or political propaganda. The line "Sose nézd a kódolt híreket" (never watch the coded news) suggests that the mainstream media is often biased or misleading, and that one should rely on their own intuition to sense when something is amiss. The repetition of the phrase "Ami a szívemen az van a számon" (what's on my heart is on my tongue) reinforces the idea that true communication requires sincerity and transparency.

Interestingly, "Ami a szívemen" was written during the communist regime in Hungary, when free speech and individual expression were heavily suppressed. The song's message of speaking truth to power resonated with many young people who were eager for change. Since then, it has become a beloved anthem of resistance and self-expression, not just in Hungary but in other countries under oppressive regimes.

Overall, "Ami a szívemen" is a powerful example of how music can serve as a tool for social commentary and political change. It is a song about universal values like honesty and authenticity, which are increasingly important in our age of fake news and alternative facts.
