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.

Indokolatlan jókedv
Bikini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jól érzem magam itt a színpadon.
Esztergálni már régen nem tudok,
És azt hiszem nem is akarok.
2. Jókedvemet elrontani nem tudod,
És ha leveszed ezt a bús szomorú álarcot,
Láthatod, hej, hogy vigyorgok, jaj,
R. Mit vársz tőlem, nem tudom,
Benéz a gond az ablakon.
||: Miért iszom, ha nem vagyok szomjas?:||
3. Szárnyakat kaptam, de repülni nem tudok,
Jól érzem magam itt a színpadon.
Nem jut eszembe semmi, csak előre kellene menni, menni,
De jó is volna néha igazán szeretni.
R.
The lyrics of Bikini's song "Indokolatlan jókedv" are about having an inexplicable feeling of joy and happiness. The singer expresses that they are feeling great and it shows in their dancing and performance on stage. They admit that they haven't been able to do their usual work (esztorgálni) for a while, but they don't feel like doing it either. The chorus talks about the singer's reluctance to let worries affect their mood and their constant need to smile and be happy. They question the reason for drinking when they are not even thirsty, and suggest that it might be because of the worries that sneak in through the window.
The third verse talks about the singer's desire to fly and reach new heights, but they seem to be content with the stage and the current moment. They seem to be in a state of mind where they just want to keep moving forward, without dwelling on the past or getting weighed down by worries. In the end, they express a wish to experience true love.
The song seems to be about embracing the present moment and finding joy in it, despite any setbacks or worries that might try to creep in. It's about living in the moment and being happy without any specific reason. The lyrics are cleverly written and the melody is upbeat, making it a catchy tune that captures the essence of living life to the fullest.
