Slank

Songwriter: Slank

Anjing menggonggong kafilah tetap berlalu
Ada yang ngoceh kosong aku terus melaju
Ada udang di balik, balik batu
Bikin hati senang padahal dia ada mau

Bang-bang tut akar gulang galing
Siapa yang kentut di tembak raja maling
Musuh dalam selimut sama juga maling
Mulut bau kentut di belakang ngomong miring

Lempar-lempar batu lalu sembunyi tangan
Bikin orang bingung langsung buang badan
Sepandai tupai lompat akhirnya jatuh juga
Belagak jadi sahabat pasti ketahuan belangnya

Bang-bang tut akar gulang galing
Siapa yang kentut di tembak raja maling
Musuh dalam selimut sama juga maling
Mulut bau kentut di belakang ngomong miring

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.
