American disco group the Village People made a name for themselves in the late-70s for their chant-along dance-pop hits and their colorful on-stage personas. Their best known hit, “Y.M.C.A.,” is widely considered a gay anthem – and became a staple of Trump’s rallies in the last election, along with their hit “Macho Man.”
The American disco group is set to perform at one of Trump’s inaugural balls and a rally he’s holding in Washington the day before he’s sworn in.
Brilliant. Taking a gay anthem and claiming it was never gay allows all the deeply closeted Trump supporters to enjoy the music that is in their blood without judgment. It’s truly a galaxy brained move.
I wonder how much they’re getting paid. Assuming they’re getting paid by the government and not Trump, does that asshole doesn’t pay anybody.
Can’t wait to see homophonic magaites truck around with a gay anthem on full blast just to “own the libz”.
None of the original members of the Village People have been in the band since 2017. Victor Willis royally fucked them all over, because he is a huge piece of shit, just like trump.
Huh. Guess theyre all cunts.
Who knew.
Guess that’s the end of hearing YMCA at any gay bar in America.
Unless they suddenly do a new song on the inauguration. Something like “Butt fucking the USA” or so
You’re thinking of Electric Six.
You! I want to take you to a gay bar!
That would be an epic troll. They show up in full-on male stripper mode and whip out giant rubber dildos colored in red white and blue.
Epic.
Assless chaps are already part of the show anyway.I will die on this hill.
All chaps are assless.
If chaps had an ass, they would be pants.
Thank you for hearing me out.
I will stand with you on this hill. Cheek to cheek we will live or die here my brother.
They can take our asses, but not our (now assless!) chaps!!!
If chaps had an ass, they would be pants.
No, that just means nobody (with an ass) is wearing them at that moment.
(Or they are chaps which do not own a donkey, but that is very rare, possibly a Mexican thing.)The moment assless chaps get some ass in them they stop being assless chaps and magically (butt magic) transform into assfull chaps.
This guy chaps
This guy is not a chapless ass!!
Well that’s more people to add to my “go fuck yourself” list.
Carrie Underwood doesn’t surprise me, but The Village People news hurts.
Victor Willis (the lead singer and effective owner of the band) has had some interesting interactions with the Trump campaign. To quote Wikipedia:
In the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump once again used the song at his rallies, usually performing the “Trump Dance” while it played. Willis has lamented his use of the song since 2020, and even considered a lawsuit to block Trump from using the song, but confessed there’s “not much he can do about it” and decided it was “beneficial” to have the song back on the charts. He later reversed his position and thanked Trump for using the song, pointing out how it had earned him several million dollars.
On January 13, 2025, Village People announced their participation at Trump’s second inauguration.
In December, Willis also stated that Y.M.C.A. had never had any homosexual connotations whatsoever in one of the most transparent attempts at marketing something to conservatives I’ve yet seen. I get the feeling that he’s probably not a MAGA believer but he’s perfectly willing to pose as whatever he has to if it makes him money.
He’s either in deep denial or is just an amoral money-grubber who doesn’t give a shit.
I’m calling the latter. He only started with this when he noticed that there was now a new conservative market for his song.
What, no Ted Nugent??? Lol
IKR??
I’d expect Nugent to come out onstage belting out “Bound and Gagged”, “Yank Me, Crank Me”, then “Jailbait” and finishing with “It’s a Free for All”.
He might even shit himself.
The Village People? All of them agreed to this? Like not one of them was like, “guys, you might all need the money, but these people literally hate us for existing?”
They haven’t been in the band in years, only Willis is left and he’s a steaming pile of garbage. Its no surprise those he brought in will be as well.
Well at least the others aren’t having any of that shit. Good for them.
Holy hilarious, I hope the village people weren’t needing residuals for a comfy retirement.
This will be the last time they make money, I’d imagine.
So all he could get was a disco group way beyond the best before date, and a second class country girl?
Blah this gets more bleaker day by day…….
