Picnic Kibun (japanese for ¨the feeling of picnic¨) sang in English, Spanish and Japanese, and transcended digital rock, pop, J-hop, and electronica. Their essence is an internationally flavoured hedonism: a sexy and sophisticated expression that comes at you through irresistible beats and sublime sociopolitical lyrics, expressed for example in the debut single ¨Drop Your Panties¨.
The band began performing throughout Santiago, Chile in late 2006. It wasn’t long until they stamped their raw sample based sound by winning Super45’s Best New Sound pick for 2007, Chile´s prestigious music blog.
The band released their five-song demo in 2007 called simply ¨Picnic Kibun EP¨. The EP was remixed by Matanza and Moustache! among many other local artists.
In August 2009, the band released its debut album, Fiebre Tagadá, which was acclaimed as one of the most exciting Chilean releases of the year. It was downloaded more than 120,000 times from the band´s official website http://www.picnickibun.com. After the release of ¨Fiebre Tagadá¨, bandmembers Blit and Herbie West left the band to pursue personal projects causing the band a brief hiatus from live performance.
After the breakup, the band took to a new form, incorporating Fran Straube (Miss Garrison, Fármacos) on drums and voices.
In 2011, Picnic Kibun worked with producer Vicente Sanfuentes (Sanfuentes, Original Hamster, Francisca Valenzuela) to create four EPs which were released through the band´s music label Endemika Records.
Taganga EP (Oct 2012) included the title song ¨Taganga¨ which was co-produced with the chilean duo Moustache! (Astro) as well as ¨Madisonville¨which in turn was co-produced with Matanza. The EP was released in Australia through Tuff ´Em Up Records as well as in Chile through the band´s Endemika Records. There were two remix EPs released, each released under each record label which included artists such as Tunacola and Mawashi. The title song featured a video clip directed by Pablo Gonzalez (Smog), featuring Julianna Her and Agustin Silva.
Semilla EP (oct 2013) included Semilla and Kaizoku featuring Matanza.
Megalinda EP (aug 2013) included the songs Megalinda and Nation Of Two. The song also included a live versión of Taganga, recorded during 2012 while Picnic Kibun opened for The Presets.
Previa Me Up EP (Mar 2014) was Picnic Kibun´s final release. It included the title song Previa Me Up and remixes by Roman & Castro, Dj Raff, Modex and Pol del Sur.
In 2008 the band scored the music for Transantiaguinos (Canal 13), a nationally broadcasted TV show for Canal13 based in Chile. Picnic Kibun can also be found in the soundtrack of Santos (Lopez 2006), Que Pena Tu Vida (Lopez 2010) and ¨Young and Wild¨ (Rivas 2012).

Drop Your Panties
Picnic Kibun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Found myself stupified waiting for a lapdance
How many years could I cum? Until the sunsets!
Keep it cool like icecream, wait until it gets wet
A necklace, a chocolate, a picture violin
She started crying like a kitten baby, I'm in
How could I be the love that she's never known?
I'm just a boy posing as a man
Why you wanna tell bout your birthcontrol?
Shakin in a room, just me you know
Shakin them hips like a can full of nails
You know I wanna smack it but not like a snail
Why you gotta buy me all those things?
A buggy ass necklace and a funky ass ring?
You know I'm a man that can't be touched, but you touch
Me everytime you shake that butt
A necklace, a chocolate, a picture violin
She started crying like a kitten baby, I'm in
How could I be the love that she's never known?
I'm just a boy posing as a man
DROP YOUR PANTIES
18 year old dance trance, a tube top and hot pants
Found myself stupified waiting for a lapdance
How many years could I cum? Until the sunsets!
Keep it cool like icecream, wait until it gets wet
A necklace, a chocolate, a picture violin
She started crying like a kitten baby, I'm in
How could I be the love that she's never known?
I'm just a MAN posing as a BOY
DROP YOUR PANTIES
The song "Drop Your Panties" by Picnic Kibun is a sexually charged dance track that speaks about the desire for lap dances from a woman who is wearing a tube top and hot pants. The lyrics also talk about the material gifts that the singer gives to the lap dancer and how she responds with emotion. This is an interesting song that delves into themes of lust, power, and the transactional nature of relationships.
The lyrics suggest that the singer takes on a persona of a man, even though he is just a boy. This shows a desire to be seen as mature and sexually experienced while acknowledging that he may not be ready for adult relationships. The line "Why you gotta buy me all those things? A buggy ass necklace and a funky ass ring?" suggests that the singer may feel that material gifts are not enough to sustain a relationship, and he desires more emotional connection.
The chorus "Drop Your Panties" is an aggressive command that suggests the singer wants the lap dancer to give herself up for him. This could be seen as problematic as it implies a power dynamic where the singer feels that he is entitled to the lap dancer's body. The line "Shakin them hips like a can full of nails" is an interesting use of imagery that suggests that the lap dancer is beautiful but dangerous.
Overall, "Drop Your Panties" is a song that explores themes of desire, materialism, and the complex nature of relationships.
