The Village People and YMCA
Like this post?
The announcement that the YMCA is officially reducing its name to what everyone calls it anyway–the Y–left one huge question unanswered.
What about the song?!?!
Fortunately Victor Willis, lead singer of the Village People, spoke out to put our minds at ease.
Willis says the change won’t affect the song — or the dance that goes along with it
What a relief! Can you imagine how awkward it would be to sing
It’s fun to stay at the Y mm mm mm.

It’s definitely not a prosodic improvement and what would we do with our hands for those last 3 notes?

I’ve been calling it “the Association” for years. You no longer have to be young, Christian, or a man to join.
“Prosodic” is a new word for me. It’s not often that happens any more. Thanks!
