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 ↴
Megkísért egy régi tánc
Szíved dobbanását hallgatom
Szigetükön az emberek
kiburulva fekszenek
Ne félj ! Gyere, bújj ide kedvesem
Angyalokkal szállunk
Nézem, ahogy táncolnak a csillagok
Filmet vetít álmunk
Keserű mézre szállunk
Látom: hullanak a csillagok
A Hold már üvöltésre vár
Megkísért egy régi tánc
Szíved dobbanását hallgatom
A falon túl az emberek
Nagy párnákon fekszenek
Ne félj ! Gyere, bújj ide kedvesem
Mesélni kezd álmunk
Angyalokkal szállunk
Nézem, ahogy táncolnak a csillagok
Filmet vetít álmunk
Keserű mézre szállunk
Látom: hullanak a csillagok
The lyrics of Telihold by Bikini depict a dreamy and surreal experience where the singer is being tempted by an old dance that is waiting to be howled. The lyrics reveal that the singer is listening to the sound of her heartbeats as she watches people on an island lying down carefreely. She calls her lover to join her and cuddle.
The dreamy experience is further depicted as they begin to tell each other their dreams and soar with the angels while watching the stars dance. However, the dream takes a melancholic turn as they feel the bitter honey of reality permeate their being and they see the falling stars. The song expresses the paradoxical sense of longing for the unrealistic and the painful realities of the mundane world.
Overall, Telihold by Bikini is an ode to the longing for the surreal and dreamy experiences that are beyond the mundane world, while also acknowledging the pain and melancholy of the limitations of reality.

A Hold már üvöltésre vár
The moon is waiting to howl
Megkísért egy régi tánc
Tempted by an old dance
Szíved dobbanását hallgatom
I listen to the beating of your heart
Szigetükön az emberek
The people on their island
kiburulva fekszenek
Lying sprawled out
Ne félj ! Gyere, bújj ide kedvesem
Don't be afraid! Come, snuggle here with me
Mesélni kezd álmunk
Our dream begins to tell a story
Angyalokkal szállunk
We soar with angels
Nézem, ahogy táncolnak a csillagok
I watch as the stars dance
Filmet vetít álmunk
Our dream projects a film
Keserű mézre szállunk
We fly towards bitter honey
Látom: hullanak a csillagok
I see: the stars are falling
A falon túl az emberek
Beyond the wall, the people
Nagy párnákon fekszenek
They lie on big pillows
Ne félj ! Gyere, bújj ide kedvesem
Don't be afraid! Come, snuggle here with me
