Slank

Sifatnya benalu
Suka among madu punya kepala suku
Selalu ada mau diasalnya tidak laku
Maunya nebeng melulu punya muka seribu
Slalu uang dulu di dekatnya bau
Keras kaya batu waktu ku lagi jatuh
Cari mangsa baru

Benalu-benalu, tidak punya malu
Benalu-benalu, menjilat pantatku
Benalu-benalu, tidak punya malu
Benalu-benalu, menghisap darahku
Benalu-benalu, tidak punya malu
Benalu-benalu, menghasut temanku
Benalu-benalu, tidak punya malu
Benalu-benalu, kotori rumahku
Benalu-benalu, tidak punya malu
Benalu-benalu, enyah dari mukaku
Hey benalu-benalu, who are you

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.
