NMKY - A Finnish Cover of "YMCA" that would make Tom proud...

Posted over 2 years ago

Artist:

Village People
Album:

Greatest Hits
Track:
- PLAY
Y. M. C. A.

I'm speechless after seeing this clip. It's just about everything I want from a YouTube video - weird? (check) from the seventies or early 80's? (check) Re- appropriation of American Pop Culture by another culture? (check). The background dancers would make Tom of Finland proud, though. The very fact that the singers name is Gregorius, makes me think of the word Gregarious. Yes, yes you are my friend. Enjoy.

1234chainsaw says Yeah, from a late '70s Finnish TV show. 'NMKY' is an abbreviation of the Finnish translation of 'YMCA'. I just read on the YLE (the Finnish BBC) web site that this was Gergorious's first and only TV appearance. Wonder why...

dermahrk says My wife and I kept asking: are those men or women in the background dancing? Sigh...I guess I'll never know. Who would confess to being one?

poebegone says confirms my suspicion that Fatboy Slim / Moby videos are un-funny. is it bad that the singer makes me think of Kevin Kline?
