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.

Veled akarok
Bikini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oldalaid többször végiglapoznám
Hogyha ital lennél, mindig részeg lennék
És ha szabadságharc, a vérem áldoznám
Veled akarok a pokol tüzén elégni
Ha itt az idő
Veled akarok a mennyországba lépni
Mikor felhő voltál mindig bőrig áztam
Mikor napfényt szórtál
Rád borulnék ősszel takaró avarral
És ha tél lehetnék, behavaználak
Beléd olvadnék nyíló szép tavasszal
Forró nyár, ha lennék, beragyognálak
Veled akarok a pokol tüzén elégni
Ha itt az idő
Veled akarok a mennyországba lépni
És együtt támadni fel
Mikor felhő voltál mindig bőrig áztam
Mikor napfényt szórtál
Mindig ráfáztam
Mikor napfényt szórtál
Mindig ráfáztam
The lyrics of the song "Veled akarok" by Bikini express a strong desire to be with someone, to the point where the singer is willing to go to extreme lengths for them. The song begins by comparing the object of the singer's affection to a textbook that they would study from. The singer then goes on to say that if this person were a drink, they would always be drunk on them, and if they were a battle for freedom, then the singer would sacrifice their own blood for them. These metaphors illustrate the depth of the singer's passion and commitment to this person.
The chorus repeats the line "Veled akarok" which translates to "I want to be with you" in English. The singer then goes on to say that they want to "burn in hellfire" with this person and "enter heaven together". These extreme statements emphasize the level of importance and desire that the singer feels towards this person. The song also speaks of different seasons and how the singer would be with this person through all of them. They would cover them with autumn leaves, bury them in the snow if they were winter, and melt into them in the spring, and shine brightly on them in the summer.
All in all, the lyrics of this song express a deep longing for the person they are singing to, and an intense desire to be with them no matter what. The metaphors used show that this person is extremely important to the singer and they can't imagine their life without them.
