Too real. I only found out that YMCA is a real thing a few years ago.
I had to read up on it just now. The abbreviation stands for “Young Men’s Christian Association” and apparently, it’s about as gay as it sounds, which the song celebrates.
The Village People strongly assert that there was nothing homosexual intended in their song or music video.
I’m sure they do. I’m also sure they’re giggling about it too.
You’re sure they’re giggling? Are they even still alive? wouldn’t they be about 90 years old right now?
Victor Willis is still with the group, and he was one of the original members.

They have an impressive “Past Members” section.
Yeah, it’s just a song about young men hanging out with all the boys and having fun doing whatever they feel.
So you can interpret it to not be gay if you want… it is open ended when it says “do whatever you feel” so if you don’t feel like having gay sex then you can substitute whatever you want in there instead of gay sex. So it’s technically not about having gay sex at the YMCA. Technically.
Bottom line is if you think the song is catchy and like doing the fun dance routine, you don’t have to feel like it makes you gay if you do the dance. Just do whatever you feel, it’s fun!
Well it was originally designed as a charitable organization to, among other things, provide temporary housing for homeless young men.
Funny thing though, it turns out the way a lot of young men ended up being homeless was bigoted Christian parents kicking them out for being gay.
I’m shocked that wasn’t an option
It’s the “radio” option, they just haven’t updated the form in 40y

Isn’t that an oval?
Elipse
In the right coordinate system it becomes a circle…
Technically I heard about it on the radio and The Village People simultaneously.
