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.

Mondd miért jöttél, nincs szükség búcsúra.
Képed a falról a földre leesett,
Kísértet járta át hideg testedet.

Eszembe jutott egy bűnös gondolat.
Arcodat nézve azon tűnődtem,

The lyrics of Bikini's song "Péntek 13" portray a dark and somber atmosphere, reflecting on a Friday the 13th evening. The first verse sets the scene with the singer questioning why the person they are addressing has come, implying that there is no need for goodbyes. The image of a photograph falling from the wall to the ground is described, symbolizing the presence of a ghost lingering around and haunting the coldness of the person's body.
In the second verse, the singer stands by the window under the full moonlight and confesses to having a sinful thought while looking at the person's face. The lyrics suggest that the singer contemplated between killing or embracing the person, indicating a sense of inner turmoil and conflicting emotions.
The chorus repeats the notion that it was Friday the 13th, a date traditionally associated with bad luck, implying that this particular day was not fortunate for them. This repetitive refrain further emphasizes the negative atmosphere and sets a gloomy tone for the song.
Moving on to the third verse, the lyrics reveal that the person addressed in the song was unaware of the singer being a fugitive. The singer describes their memories as fake papers and expresses a feeling of being abandoned by God. They reflect on their past, suggesting that it exists, but there is uncertainty regarding their future.
Overall, the lyrics of "Péntek 13" delve into themes of darkness, uncertainty, and inner turmoil. The imagery and symbolism used throughout the song paint a picture of a haunted, emotional state experienced by the singer. The mention of Friday the 13th further adds to the sense of unease and bad luck, contributing to the overall melancholic atmosphere of the song.
Line by Line Meaning
Péntek este volt és tizenharmadika,
It was Friday evening and the thirteenth,
Mondd miért jöttél, nincs szükség búcsúra.
Tell me why you came, there is no need for farewell.
Képed a falról a földre leesett,
Your picture fell from the wall to the ground,
Kísértet járta át hideg testedet.
A ghost haunted your cold body.
Ablaknál állva a telihold alatt,
Standing by the window under the full moon,
Eszembe jutott egy bűnös gondolat.
I had a sinful thought come to mind.
Arcodat nézve azon tűnődtem,
Looking at your face, I wondered,
Megöljelek, vagy megöleljelek.
Should I kill you or embrace you.
Péntek volt és 13,
It was Friday and the 13th,
Nem volt ez a szerencseszámom.
This was not my lucky number.
Nem tudtad rólam, hogy szökevény vagyok,
You didn't know I am a fugitive,
Emlékeim csak hamis papírok.
My memories are just false papers.
És sokszor úgy éreztem, hogy elhagyott az Isten,
And often I felt abandoned by God,
Múltam talán van, de jövőm nincsen.
Maybe I have a past, but I have no future.

Nagyon nagyon szépen köszönöm ezt a szívbe markoló dalt, - legalább is, ami a kezdetet illeti, na mondjuk a szöveg se semmi, öl, ölel, öl, -szinte József Attila-i fordulat, amely ügyes. Nem beszélve a síró gitár szólóról, egyszerűen még egyszer nagyon szépen köszönöm Kispribek90-nek, továbbá a Bikininek.
