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 ↴
Itt ez az erdő körbezár fütyülök egy régi dalt
Elér a múlt és a szép napok emléke újra él
És megint fáj ha átgondolom, hogy mi az amit elvittél
Üres a ház üres az asztal hideg az ágyam
Valaki kéne aki úgy jön, hogy sohasem vártam
De nem volt sok köze Amerikához így nem kezdtem háborút
Rámszabadulnak az emlékek egyedül ballagok
Jobb, hogy néha az eszemre, s nem a szívemre hallgatok
Üres a ház üres az asztal hideg az ágyam
Valaki kéne aki úgy jön, hogy sohasem vártam
The opening of this song by Bikini, "Leszegett fejjel ballagok az ösvény már kihalt, itt ez az erdő körbezár fütyülök egy régi dalt," (I walk with my head down, the path is deserted now, the forest surrounds me, I whistle an old song) sets the scene for a singer who is feeling a sense of isolation and nostalgia, as they walk through now-empty surroundings. They mention feeling the memories of past beautiful days come alive, painful because of what has been lost. The house they return to is empty, the bed cold, and they lament the absence of someone they didn't know they needed: "Valaki kéne, aki úgy jön, hogy sohasem vártam" (someone is needed, who comes in such a way that I never expected).

Leszegett fejjel ballagok az ösvény már kihalt
I walk with my head down on a deserted path, surrounded by a forest, whistling an old tune. The memories of past beautiful days resurface and the pain returns when I think about what you took away from me.
Itt ez az erdő körbezár fütyülök egy régi dalt
The forest surrounds me and I whistle an old song. I feel trapped by my surroundings and the memories of the past that come flooding back.
Elér a múlt és a szép napok emléke újra él
The memories of the past and the beautiful days come back to me.
És megint fáj ha átgondolom, hogy mi az amit elvittél
The pain returns when I think about what you took away from me.
Üres a ház üres az asztal hideg az ágyam
The house is empty, the table is empty, and my bed is empty and cold.
Valaki kéne aki úgy jön, hogy sohasem vártam
I need someone who comes unexpectedly.
Hagynom kellett, hogy elmenjél a mélyből nincs kiút
I had to let you go, there was no way out of the depths of our relationship.
De nem volt sok köze Amerikához így nem kezdtem háborút
Our separation had nothing to do with America, so there was no need for me to start a war over it.
Rámszabadulnak az emlékek egyedül ballagok
The memories flood back to me, as I walk alone.
Jobb, hogy néha az eszemre, s nem a szívemre hallgatok
It's better to listen to my head sometimes, rather than just purely following my heart.

Amióta létezik a zenekar,az egyik legnagyobb,legjobban kiforrott,formáció,Magyarországon.Még az Omega,Tátrai,és pár csapat,akit most nem hozok fel.A Bikini,gyerekkorom óta,jelen van az életemben,mintha róllam és nekem íródna néhány dal,biztos más is érzi így.Mivel zenével is foglallkoztam,sikerült,néhány dalt eljáttszani közönség előtt is.Sajnos ez a dal,most az élethelyzetemet tükrözi,és sírok mert benne élek a fájdalomban,többször visszahallgatom mert találó és valóságról szól ,mert velem is ez van most.

Bikininél nincs jobb ilyen dallamos fülbe mászó melódiát még egy zenekar sem irt és játszott. Lajos meg csodálatosan énekel.

@endre bálványossy nem maga az ember, hanem a hangsúlyos billentyűs a bandában..

@Barna Jenő Az lehet, de nélküle is a legnagyobb a mai napig. Csak így tovább Lajos.
