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.

Anarchia
Bikini Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

1. Minden, ami az utadba akad,
Először öld meg, csak aztán kérdezd.
Részeg leszel és szabad, szabad,
Hűvösre tesz függetlenséged.

R. Ma ez vagyok és holnap az,
Előbb elázom és aztán elégek.
Ha herceg vagy, gyere, fizess egy kört!

Bolondok itassanak téged!

2. Magas széken ült és körbenézett,
Haragos szeme tiszta kör.
Hogy vagy? - kérdeztem, s ő orrba vágott,
Összetört bennem egy tükör.

R., R.

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from the song "Anarchia" by Bikini convey a sense of rebellion, freedom, and individualism. The first verse suggests a mindset of taking on any obstacles in one's path and eliminating them without hesitation. It encourages a state of intoxication, both literally and metaphorically, as a way to experience true freedom. The line "Hűvösre tesz függetlenséged" can be interpreted as finding solace and independence in this mindset.

The chorus reinforces the idea of constantly changing and evolving. The persona expresses their unpredictable nature, stating that today they are one thing, but tomorrow they could be something completely different. The mention of getting soaked and then burning suggests a life of extremes and intense experiences. The line "Bolondok itassanak téged" can be translated as "let the fools get you drunk," which implies a sense of reckless abandon and embracing unconventional behaviors.

In the second verse, the formation of a clear image is depicted. The person sitting on a high chair, observing their surroundings with angry eyes, suggests a sense of superiority and detachment from societal norms. The singer asks how they are, only to be met with a physical blow, which breaks a mirror within themselves. This symbolizes the harsh truth and self-reflection that can come from engaging in this rebellious lifestyle.

Overall, the lyrics of "Anarchia" convey a rebellious spirit, embracing individualism, and living life on one's own terms. It encourages challenging societal norms, pursuing personal freedom, and being unapologetically oneself, even if it means making mistakes or breaking the illusion of self-image. It celebrates the power of embracing one's own eccentricities and choosing a path of unpredictability and independence.
