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.

Lányok térnek meg
Bikini Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lányok térnek meg
Meleg éjszakákban.
Hangosan vetkőznek
A hűség mámorában.

Fiúk térnek meg
Hideg szobákba.
Öltözködne a magány

Szép ruhába.

Röhög a múltunk,
Átfestették mára.
Átkozzuk kínjaink,
Ha ránk törnek a magányban.

Dadog a remény
Parancsszóra,

Rándul megtört arcunk
Mosolyra.

Overall Meaning

The song "Lányok térnek meg" by Bikini speaks about the contrast between two different worlds: the world of warmth and excitement where girls are returning during hot summer nights, and the world of loneliness and emptiness where boys are heading towards in cold rooms. The lyrics depict a scenario where girls are taking their clothes off in the heat of the moment, while boys are getting dressed up in their finest attire in the hopes of filling the void that surrounds them with something, anything at all.

The song's lyrics reflect on the transience of life and the passage of time. The chorus of the song speaks about the laughter of the past being repainted today, and how people regret their past struggles when loneliness sets in. The song brings out the contrast of different feelings experienced by people and the fact that life is a continuous cycle of ups and downs.

One of the noteworthy aspects of the song is the use of unconventional metaphors to describe the central themes. For example, "the warmth of fidelity" is used to refer to the passion between the girls and their partners, "getting dressed up in loneliness's finest clothes" is used to describe the desperate attempts of the boys to deal with their emptiness.
