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& #39;re y& #39;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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS9OO0S5w2k">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Also, at what point did the YMCA dance become a thing? They& #39;re not doing it in the video

Well now that my innocence has been stripped from me, I& #39;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
