Village People may perform Y.M.C.A. at Trump inauguration

[BULLDOG]

So someone makes up their own meaning and that applies to everyone else?

Point is, the song isn't about a homosexual hookup, I have no idea why trump chose it, maybe he likes the song, doesn't mean anything.

No. One person can't define the meaning of a song, but if a wide ranging audience determines the meaning, that pretty much seals it. Doesn't matter what the author intended.

 

[Moonglow]

Alive and well today also
Those Village are traitors to lib loons causes

I thought they were all dead from old age.

Well, then that is THEIR interpretation, it still doesn't mean that's what the song is about. People do that with songs all the time, but it doesn't make it true. Just like the dark side of the moon album and the wizard of Oz theory. David Gilmore came right out and said it's pure coincidence and they never made it like that.

People get things wrong all the time. Just like when people play born in the USA at campaigns. They just hear that tag line and think it's a patriotic song, when In fact it's a war protest song. People just make stuff up, and people get stuff wrong.

No idea what inspired the choice of Rachel Levine, but I do know that her choice wasn't hypocritical of Biden because he is generally accepting of gay and trans people. On the other hand, MAGAs are much less accepting of gays and trans people. That's what makes trump's embrace of that song hypocritical.

The Levine dude as appointed because he help steal Pennsylvania in 2020.

100 years from now people will be singing and dancing to YMCA in sports stadiums all over the country, and no one will know why.

 

[JoeMoma]

Do you think trump realizes the song is about a young homosexual hooking up at the YMCA

Trump isn't anti-gay.

 

[Road Runner]

Trump isn't anti-gay.

Nope, just anti-woke.

The song has stood the test of time, that is for sure

 

[BULLDOG]

Trump isn't anti-gay.

Trump isn't pro or anti anything. His stance is based on what he thinks will please his cult.

 

[Dragonlady]

I thought that they might do that. Because they are like the only band that will let him play their music lol

Even Dee Snider won’t let them use Twisted Sister’s music and he’s friends with Trump.

But the Village People gay and proud of it. Evangelicals will boycott screaming “groomers”.

True fact - The original advertisement to recruit band members for the Village People read -

"Macho types wanted : must have moustache"

Macho and gay.

Macho and gay.

That's a common myth -

YMCA has never been gay, says the song’s lyricist and singer

Victor Willis of Village People says the hit is an anthem to Black male friendship – and his wife threatens to sue those who say otherwise

Sometime the mythology is more powerful that reality.

Yup, the foundation of America.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Imagine a crowd of thousands of people doing the Y.M.C.A dance at President Trump's inauguration, drowning out the sound of the protesters and the clicking keyboards of USMB grumpies?

Sounds like a global embarrassment.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Sometime the mythology is more powerful that reality.

She is wrong, and it most certainly is about homosexuality.

And she could never ever sue anyone for saying otherwise. A good clue she is full of shit.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Well, then that is THEIR interpretation, it still doesn't mean that's what the song is about.

It is.

Look at their body of work.

It is.

 

[ThisIsMe]

It is.

Look at their body of work.

It is.

The guy who wrote the song disagrees
