Slank

Songwriter: Slank

Ada yang lempar-lempar batu
Sambil saling gebuk-gebukan
Coba lihat siapa itu
Pelajar ribut di jalanan

Ada yang bikin kerusuhan
Sambil teriak-teriak ga puas
Coba lihat apaan itu
Buruh ngamuk di jalanan

Oo Anarkhi diri
Oo Anarkhi di RI
Oo Anarkhi diri
Oo Anarkhi di RI

Ada hiburan dan pertandingan
Kumpul-kumpul emosi nggak tertahan
Coba terka apakah itu
Massa histeris di lapangan

Oo Anarkhi diri
Oo Anarkhi di RI
Oo Anarkhi diri
Oo Anarkhi di RI

Ada suara jerit-jeritan
Sia- sia banyak yang jadi korban
Coba lihat apa sih itu
Petugas bentrok sama demonstran

Slank was formed in 1983 through a school band at a local high school in Slank Jakarta, Indonesia, which named CSC (Cikini Stone Complex). Their main founder, Bimo Setiawan (Bimbim) and their fellow bandmates often played a number of Rolling Stones songs at school. The band later changed its name and personnel to SLANK, with Bimbim on drums, Erwan on vocals, Bongky on guitars, Denny on bass and Kiki on guitars. The name SLANK itself was taken from their musical attitude, which was, and is still reckless, ignorant and play with undetailed groove (Slengean in Indonesian).

In the following years, numbers of personnel changes were made, with Pay on guitars, Kaka on vocals and Indra on keyboard, replacing the previous bandmates.

Although they started their journey in the music industry quite roughly, with numerous of rejected demos, SLANK emerged in 1991 with their “The Best Newcomer” award in BASF event. Successes did not always come for SLANK, when three of their personnel, Bongky, Indra and Pay chose to quit the band, and formed their own band (BIP). Following the resignation, Abdee, Ivan and Ridho joined the band, and since then, SLANK has never changed its personnel again.
