From someone who is old enough to remember what happened in the year 1978: I want to know what the general consensus was when The Village People released YMCA. We're y'all like... why are they making a song about this? Was it a commercial for the YMCA? What was happening lmao

I need to know what the consensus was when this video was released lmao

Also, at what point did the YMCA dance become a thing? They're not doing it in the video

Well now that my innocence has been stripped from me, I'll go down a Village People rabbit hole to learn more about what happened. I did not realize there was so much going on with this group
