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.

Boldog vagyok
Bikini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
barátnőm és királynőm,
drágám, kedvesem,
édes szerelmem ...
Mátkám,
feleségem, asszonyom,
házvezetőnőm,
Veled múlnak el a nappalok
Te vagy velem hosszú éjszakákon át
Boldog vagyok, nincs nagy igényem
Bármi kell, azt úgyis elérem
De semmi nem kell, csak a pénz kevés
És a szerelem, mi sosem elég
Vágy,
játékszenvedély,
tévé, kocsmazaj ...
Már mögöttem van rég
Újság,
kérvény, engedély,
kártya, sajnoslap,
eljátszott szabadnap ...
Veled múlnak el a nappalok
Te vagy velem hosszú éjszakákon át
Boldog vagyok, nincs nagy igényem
Bármi kell, azt úgyis elérem
De semmi nem kell, csak a pénz kevés
És a szerelem, mi sosem elég
The lyrics to Bikini's song Boldog vagyok are a tribute to a woman in the singer's life who he sees as his girlfriend, queen, darling, sweetheart, mother-in-law, wife, housekeeper, widow, and lover. The repetition of the different titles she holds is a reflection of the depth and complexity of their relationship. He acknowledges that with her, time seems to fly by whether it's during long nights or passing the days. The singer expresses his contentment with simple pleasures, stating that he doesn't need much in life except for enough money to get by and an endless supply of love.
The song appears to be about the fleeting nature of material pleasure and the everlasting value of true love and human connection. The singer has outgrown his addiction to desire and superficial indulgences like TV, gambling, and other forms of entertainment. He has accepted that a life of simplicity, filled with love, is all he needs to experience true happiness. The song's message feels universal, and it is effortless to relate to this universal experience of valuing relationships and love.

I am happy, I don't have great demands. Whatever I need, I can reach it anyway. But nothing is needed, except money which is scarce and love which is never enough.
Vágy, játékszenvedély, tévé, kocsmazaj ... Már mögöttem van rég
Desire, addiction to games, TV, bar noise ... They are already behind me.
