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

1. Ilyen jó dolgom még sosem volt,
Minden szabad, amit nem tilos.
Ilyen jó dolgom még sosem volt,
Csókolom, megszakadhatok?

2. Évek óta nem történik semmi,
Csak várom a nagy csodát.
Évek óta nem változik semmi,

Mért kezdjem én a változást.

R. Mindig azt mondják hogy legyek jó
De miért mindig csak én, csak én legyek a jó?
Mindig azt mondják hogy legyek jó
De miért mindig csak én, csak én legyek jó?

3. Hagyjuk, nem kell a mese,
Össze tetszik téveszteni valakivel.
Ilyen jó dolgom még sosem volt,
Csókolom, megszakadhatok?

Overall Meaning

The song "Legyek Jó" by Bikini is an introspective reflection on personal freedom, a desire for change, and the pressure to conform to societal standards. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that they have never had such a good situation before - everything is allowed, and they can do as they please. However, this newfound freedom is accompanied by a sense of overwhelming uncertainty and vulnerability - is it okay for them to indulge in this level of freedom? Is it really worth it? The second verse conveys a sense of stagnation and frustration - despite waiting years for a miracle to bring about changes in their life, nothing seems to happen. The singer feels powerless to initiate change and sees no point in trying to make a difference.

The chorus repeats the phrase "mindig azt mondják, hogy legyek jó" (they always say I should be good) to drive home the message of societal pressure to conform and behave in a certain way. The singer questions why they have to be the only ones expected to be good - why can't other people take on the responsibility and bear the burden of upholding morality? The final verse is a plea to let go of false stories and not confuse people with half-truths. The singer still yearns for the freedom they had in the beginning, but is willing to accept the consequences of their actions.

Overall, "Legyek Jó" is a thought-provoking song about personal agency, societal expectations, and the search for self-awareness and fulfillment.
