YMCA

Artist:
Went to a wedding last night. Of course, they played the Village People's YMCA. Why does America uniformly accept that song --- an unapologetic song about a popular hookup spot for homosexual males --- as a staple of any sort of celeberatio, but America is at best on the fence as to accepting homosexuals as a respected part of society? Maybe (probably) this question has been posed numerous times before, but I just thought about it for the first time as watched the dance floor surge as that song came on.

funny thing is I was singing this song in my head today thinking about the village people and how popular this song is and what exactly it's referring to. i think the majority of america prefers to be oblivious to it's actual suggestion because it's a catchy tune. that, and i think people just love doing the Y.M.C.A. dance...
I think what is most amusing is that UD was singing this song in his head.
you would find that amusing TD... i buried myself with that one... and the sad thing is, I have no comeback... doh!
you could say that Turd was oblivious because he just didn't understand the lyrics Dave, but of course we know that's not true.
good post -BP
It's like when Blitzkrieg Bop plays at the stadiums..folks (present company excepted) don't listen too well.
Hey RD - Is that how you hurt your hip? Playing ball at the Y?
yup. they have everything.
I don't necessarily love dancing to the YMCA, but I do love the feeling of a packed dance floor.
Also, playing ball at the Y in just a few hours. I'll try to avoid the hip injuries.
