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 ↴

1. Kifordított világban élek,
Ahol minden megtörténhet.
Végérvényesen valami elveszett.

2. Hozzászoktam, készen kapom,
Mást mondok és mást gondolok.
Féltem, ami nincs, ez benne a vicc, óó.

3. Nem tudok a tükörbe nézni,
Nem akarok szégyenkezni.
Végérvényesen valami elveszett,

4. Elveszett a büszkeségem
Aláírok egyetértek
Féltem, ami nincs, ez benne a vicc, óó

Refr.: Virulnak a közhelyek
És szürkülnek az ünnepek.
A gomblyukakban virág helyett lóhere
Virulnak...
Lóhere

6. Hová lettek a kipirult arcok,
Hova lettek a kurtizánok?
Végérvényesen valami elveszett.

1., Refr.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song Lóhere by Bikini depict a world turned upside down. The singer lives in a world where anything can happen and something has been lost permanently. The lyrics suggest that the singer has become accustomed to this new reality and now says one thing but thinks another. The line "féltem, ami nincs, ez benne a vicc" translates to "I fear what isn’t there, but that’s the joke." This suggests a sense of unease and anxiety about the current state of the world.

In the second verse, the lyrics suggest that the singer has lost their pride and is now willing to agree to anything. The repetition of the line "végérvényesen valami elveszett" which translates to "something has been lost permanently" highlights the theme of loss and highlights the idea that the world is irreparably changed.

The chorus speaks of cliches flourishing and holidays losing their luster. The line "virulnak a közhelyek" which translates to "cliches flourish" adds to the sense of unease and highlights the loss of originality that the singer is experiencing. The final line of the chorus "a gomblyukakban virág helyett lóhere" literally translates to "clover instead of flowers in buttonholes." This metaphor highlights the loss of beauty in the world and the dulling of once vibrant traditions.
