(page 2/ 4) ------ performed by Village People The lyrics aren't gay but the song is. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/13/09 First of all, disco sucks. It is not fun. It is gay. The fact that straight chicks go to discos does not make these clubs non-gay. If you are a straight guy going to one of these clubs you are fishing in a gay pond. Everyone in a disco looks like a lascivious clown. So for non-gays these places are not fun they are just something we have to endure in the pursuit of women. And as for the YMCA song - no the lyrics are not gay per say. But the music is hopelessly gay. And when you combine gay music with lyrics about a place where men go to hang out and have good time you have a gay song. This song is SO gay that as a kid when I first heard it I actually actually thought that the YMCA was a gay organization. I would even go so far as to say that, to this day, this song psychologically scarred me so much that even the idea of being near a YMCA creeps me out. No, if I want to have a good time I'll check out the YWCA instead. Universal Song | Reviewer: Linda R | 12/1/08 The YMCA (Young Men's Christain Association) was a place young men, often homeless, could come and stay for very little money. Church services were provided. The village People's song is sung in just about every hoppin' night club I have ever been to. Including other countries. I was in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, two weeks ago at Squid Row dancing to "YMCA". There was hardly anyone in their seats. It was great! (Sung in English with a Mexican accent.) No matter where you are, or what language it is sung to, the YMCA's tune will make you feel like dancing and having a great time doing it! Is the song - Gay or Not Gay...Hmmm it may be both | Reviewer: LOL you kno I’m bored! | 4/17/08 Lets analyze the lyrics: Young man, there's no need to feel down (Depressed, low, unhappy). I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.(a result of feeling down) I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town There's no need to be unhappy.(when your in a new town that means u left the old one, the fact that your unhappy may be a result of you being force to leave) Young man, there's a place you can go.( speaks for its self, says there is hope for you) I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.(wow i didnt kno they used this word bak in the day lol...but dough means money or bread, food that you eat, meaning when your low on money and/or food) You can stay there,(the YMCA which is a place for men to go when they have no where else to) and I'm sure you will find Many ways to have a good time. (now this is where things get tricky….when your feeling down one of the ways to pick yourself up is to have a good time or fun the ? of the matter is what you consider fun, there were gay men bak in that time and if your gay and around a bunch of men your type of good time may be different then others and sex with each other may hav been one of the ways they had fun, but if you were not it would be like just hanging with your boys) It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A. They have everything that you need to enjoy, (games, food, tv or men if that’s what you enjoy, hell they may even had hookers) You can hang out with all the boys ... (again what I said above applies here) You can get yourself clean,(if you hav no home and you aint washed in days here’s your chance) you can have a good meal,(speaks for its self) You can do whatever you feel ...(what I said before applies here also) Young man, are you listening to me? (do you hear what im saying) I said, young man, what do you want to be? (what are your aspirations) I said, young man, you can make real your dreams. (you can manifest your dreams even though things are not looking up for you, remember not every1 has the same dreams) But you've got to know this one thing! No man does it all by himself. (You need help, a support system) I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf, (don’t be ashamed to ask for help) And just go there, to the Y.M.C.A. (they can help you and give you support) I'm sure they can help you today. (they may have the things you need on demand) Young man, I was once in your shoes. (I was there before) I said, I was down and out with the blues. (just like you are) I felt no man cared if I were alive. (now man can be used to describe men and woman as it does in the bible, but if your gay and like men then u kno it means men) I felt the whole world was so jive ... (I thought the whole world was wack, and crapy) That's when someone came up to me, (a person told me where to go for help just like I’m telling you) And said, young man, take a walk up the street. (that’s where the YMCA was) It's a place there called the Y.M.C.A. They can start you back on your way. (more proof to the purpose of the YMCA which is to help people get on their feet) Young man, young man there's no need to feel down (don’t be sad) Young man, young man pick yourself off the ground (have hope!) About the group: The band's name references New York City's Greenwich Village neighborhood, at the time known for having a substantial gay population. Morali and Belolo got the inspiration for creating an assembly of American man archetypes based on the gay men of The Village who frequently dressed in various fantasy attire. Believe it or not, not every original member of the disco pop group The Village People is gay. Here's a rundown: • Randy Jones, cowboy: Gay • David Hodo, construction worker: Not Disclosed (he may have went both ways) • Victor Willis, cop: Straight • Alex Briley, sailor: Gay • Felipe Rose, Indian: Gay • Glenn Hughes, biker: Straight Yea I have nothing better to do lol but in conclusion because not all of the original members were gay this song has 2 sides to it. It all depends on how you want to look at it. its kinda making fun of the YMCA | Reviewer: britney | 2/7/08 in the 70s the YMCA was said to be where men went to and messed around.. they would loan out rooms and you would go the to "have a good time" look at the lyrics again and think about that while you listen im sure you'll agree with me if you dont already.. Y.M.C.A!!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/12/07 I love this song!! It makes me want to dance the dance!!! We used to dance to this song in Gym class!! It is a FANTASTIC song!!! (What does Y.M.C.A stand for anyways! I just can't figure it out!!) BYE!!!! YMCA? | Reviewer: anonymous | 11/9/07 sounds like it's about being happy, and not letting your pride get in the way of getting help when you have no money and no place to go. y=young m=mens c=cristian a=association What YMCA really means. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/24/07 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia • Ten things you may not know about Wikipedia • Jump to: navigation, search Not to be confused with YWCA. This article is about the association. For the song, see YMCA (song). YMCAs in the United States and Canada use this logo. The three sides of the red triangle symbolize the YMCA mission to "build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all". YMCAs in the United States and Canada use this logo. The three sides of the red triangle symbolize the YMCA mission to "build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all". The Young Men's Christian Association ("YMCA" or "the Y") is a world-wide, largely nonsectarian and apolitical social movement with a special emphasis on community development and young people. It uses a holistic approach to individual and social development encompassing spiritual, intellectual and physical methods. This approach is symbolised by the inverse red triangle used by YMCAs around the world representing the YMCA mission of building a healthy spirit, mind, and body. The YMCA was founded in London, England, on June 6, 1844 by Sir George Williams as a result of his desire to "win souls to Christ" in the midst of the unhealthy social conditions in London during the Industrial Revolution. Since then the YMCA has grown to become a world-wide movement of more than 45 million members from 124 national federations affiliated through the World Alliance of YMCAs. In 1844, the concept of a YMCA, which began among evangelicals, was unusual because it crossed the rigid lines that separated the different churches and social classes of England, making the YMCA a pioneer of ecumenism. This openness was a trait that would eventually lead to the inclusion of women and children and a culture of acceptance of people of different faiths and backgrounds. Today, the degree to which religion is emphasized in programs varies between individual YMCA associations. Generally, YMCAs are open to all, regardless of faith, social class, age, or gender.[1] Its name represents something of an anachronism, but it has been retained as a strong brand name.
