Y.M.C.A

Y.M.C.A was written  by Jacques Morali, a French producer, in 1968,  and recorded by Village People, a disco group composed of five men, each of them playing a gay fantasy figure. While the lyrics of the song don’ t contain any specific gay references , it’s implied that a Y.M.C.A ( Young men Christian association) is a place  to gather in the closet gay and leave behind the worries and social pressures.  Before long, the YMCA threatened to sue the band because of  the song’s double entendres. However, the organization ultimately dropped the lawsuit when it noticed that membership significantly increased  thanks to the song's popularity.

In my opinion, what is brilliant  is that the song  represents Morali’s personal revenge against the society that judged him because of being gay. It worked out far better than him and his band had the right to expect. Y.M.C.A became very popular, not only among the gay audience, but also among the US society that at the time persecuted and brutalized people with homosexual inclinations.
