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.

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

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

Mért kezdjem én a változást.

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?

Össze tetszik téveszteni valakivel.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bikini's song "Legyek jó!" speak to the frustration and weariness of the singer, who feels like they have never had such a good time before. They emphasize the freedom to do anything that is not prohibited and express a desire to break free, even if it means being torn apart. The singer has been waiting for a big miracle for years but nothing seems to change. The lack of change prompts them to question why they should be the one to initiate it. The chorus reflects the common expectation for them to always be the good one, but they wonder why it always falls on them alone to be good.

The verses continue to question the need for stories and the tendency to confuse oneself with someone else. Despite this confusion, the singer still feels like they have never had such a good time and wonders if they might even risk falling apart. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the frustration of always being told to be good, but questioning why it is always them who has to bear the burden of goodness.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of dissatisfaction and a longing for change, while also questioning societal expectations and the imbalance of responsibilities.
