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.

- Jó napot! - Hideg vagyok, mint egy zsilettpenge.
Kabátomon jelvény, rajta felirat:
Segíts másokon, verd el magad!
2. Az élet megy tovább, én meg jövök szembe,
Történni kellene már valaminek.

The lyrics to the song "Lassan szopogasd… Ahogy ti zenéltek" by Bikini seem to reflect a sense of defiance and detachment from the norms of society. In the first stanza, the singer is depicted as cold and distant, wearing a badge on their coat with the slogan "Help others, beat yourself up." This could be interpreted as a commentary on the pressure to constantly care for others while neglecting one's own needs, suggesting a desire to break free from societal expectations.
The second stanza continues this theme, with the singer expressing a longing for something to happen in their life. The badge on their coat now reads "Suck on the sugar slowly, then it lasts longer." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for savoring the small moments in life and taking things slow in order to appreciate them more fully, rather than rushing through life without truly experiencing it.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of dancing to your own tune, regardless of how others may be playing their music. The singer dances to the beat of their own drum, unapologetically embracing their individuality and uniqueness. This could be seen as a message of empowerment, encouraging listeners to embrace their own authenticity and not be swayed by societal expectations or peer pressure.
In the third stanza, the singer reiterates their coldness and detachment, suggesting a sense of alienation from the world around them. Despite this, there is a yearning for change or something meaningful to happen in their life. This could reflect a desire for transformation or growth, a longing for a deeper connection with oneself and the world.
Overall, the lyrics of the song "Lassan szopogasd… Ahogy ti zenéltek" by Bikini appear to convey themes of individuality, defiance, and a yearning for authenticity and meaning in life. The singer challenges societal norms, embraces their uniqueness, and seeks a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them.
