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.

Bikini Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Várj még egy napot, bátyuska, várjál
Légy még türelmes, ha eddig vártál

Tedd le a kucsmád, s a bundád a székre
Várj, hozok vodkát, van még kevéske

Én nem mondok rólad már semmi rosszat
Túl vagyok rajtad, ez lehet, hogy bosszant

Vége lett, megváltozott minden
Megváltozott a világ

Ezen a téren még te vagy a gondnok
Állunk a téren, s te azt hiszed szobrok

Szóljon a zene, vidítsa kedved
Már megszoktam mindent, mit gyűlölök benned

Én nem mondok rólad már semmi rosszat
Túl vagyok rajtad, ez lehet, hogy bosszant
Várj még, várj, hozok áldozati bárányt
Fekete egünkre csalok szivárványt
Vége lett, megváltozott minden

Fekete egünkre csalok szivárványt…

Overall Meaning

In "Bátyuska" by Bikini, the singer is speaking to their brother, asking him to wait for one more day and to be patient if he has been waiting until now. It seems that the singer wants to have a conversation with their brother, as they ask him to take off his hat and fur coat and wait while they bring some vodka. There is a sense of familiarity and closeness between the singer and their brother, as they assure him that they no longer speak ill of him. It is possible that the singer has overcome any negative feelings towards their brother, although it may still bother him to some extent. They mention that everything has changed, that the world has changed.

The singer acknowledges that their brother is still the guardian of this square, and despite standing there together, the brother believes that he is merely a statue. The singer suggests that the music should play to cheer him up, even though they have become accustomed to everything they hate about him. Again, they assure him that they no longer speak ill of him. They ask him to wait, as they bring a sacrificial lamb, and promise to bring a rainbow on the black day.

Overall, the lyrics of "Bátyuska" speak to a complicated relationship between the singer and their brother. There is a sense of change and transformation, both within the singer and in the world. It seems that the singer has moved past any negative feelings towards their brother, but there may still be some lingering resentment. The lyrics also touch on themes of patience, familiarity, and the power of music to uplift and bring joy.

Várj még egy napot, bátyuska, várjál
Wait one more day, brother, wait patiently

Légy még türelmes, ha eddig vártál
Keep being patient if you have waited this long

Tedd le a kucsmád, s a bundád a székre
Put down your hat and fur coat on the chair

Várj, hozok vodkát, van még kevéske
Wait, I'll bring vodka, there's still some left

Én nem mondok rólad már semmi rosszat
I won't say anything bad about you anymore

Túl vagyok rajtad, ez lehet, hogy bosszant
I'm over you, it might be annoying

Vége lett, megváltozott minden
It's over, everything has changed

Megváltozott a világ
The world has changed

Ezen a téren még te vagy a gondnok
You are still the caretaker on this square

Állunk a téren, s te azt hiszed szobrok
We stand on the square, and you think they are statues

Szóljon a zene, vidítsa kedved
Let the music play and cheer you up
