Since 2020, Ive received over a thousand complaints about President Elect Trumps use of Y.M.C.A.
With that many complaints, I decided to ask the President Elect to stop using Y.M.C.A.
because his use had become a nuisance to me.
In fact, I started noticing numerous artists withdrawing the President Elects use of their material.
and hes having a lot of fun with it.
So I told my wife to inform BMI to not withdraw the Trump campaign political use license.
My French partners were contemplating legal action out of France.
because it is a U.S. matter, and I will make the decision on his use.
Our French partners quickly backed off of their objection to his use.
has benefited greatly from use by the President Elect.
For example, Y.M.C.A.
was stuck at #2 on the Billboard chart prior to the President Elects use.
The financial benefits have been great as well as Y.M.C.A.
is estimated to gross several million dollars since the President Elects continued use of the song.
Therefore, Im glad I allowed the President Elects continued use of Y.M.C.A.
And I thank him for choosing to use my song.
Theres been a lot of talk, especially of late, that Y.M.C.A.
is somehow a gay anthem.
To that I say once again, get your minds out of the gutter.
This was done in a manner to attempt to shame the President Elects use of the song.
and Jacques Morali (who was gay) never once stated such to me.
I therefore wrote Y.M.C.A.
Theres nothing gay about that.
So, to the extent that Y.M.C.A.
However, I don’t mind that gays think of the song as their anthem.
But youd be hard-pressed to find Y.M.C.A.
But it stops in 2025.
However, you know where you-will find Y.M.C.A.?
The true anthem is Y.M.C.A.s appeal to people of all strips including President Elect Trump.
But the song is not really a gay anthem other than certain people falsely suggesting that it is.
And this must stop because it is damaging to the song."
Sometimes that annoys me.
Especially when I’m struggling to find something to write about, and EVERYTHING in the news is political.
Even more especially when the politics-adjacent story I’d like to blog about is hilarious.
But in the end it’s probably for the best.
Apparently that’s a lib take.
That’s just good stuff right there.
The YMCA song, which Donald Trump often (if not always?
idfk..) walks out and dances to at his rallies, is unequivocally, 100% NOT GAY.
Don’t even think about calling it gay either.
If you think the song is gay, then you’re the gay one.
It’s a song about having a good, wholesome, straight-ass time with your straight-ass homies.
It’s damaging the reputation of my top 5 most popular song in the history of the world.
I’ve sat quietly by and let people call my song gay for years.
But it stops in 2025.
YMCA = NOT GAY.
But you sure as hell can’t stop the internet.
Then they’re going to start referring to “X” as “Y” even harder.
That’s just how people work.
You’re only encouraging them to do it further.
That’s internet 101.
Big Cat has been making the same joke based on that very premise for years.
you’ve got the option to stop people from monetizing it.
But you’re free to’t control what the general public does with it.
Then Bawitdaba is a gay sex song to them.
He just had over half of America vote him to be President.
His reputation isn’t being damaged by gay jokes at this point.
It is what it is.
You just let people know it bothers you.
That’s very funny god damn it.
It’s so good it almost seems like parody.
It’s almost too on the nose to even make fun of.
Victor legitimately sounds like he’s doing a Cum Town bit.
As a child, I was told the Village People were gay across the board.
From flamboyant construction worker to kind of racist Indian.
I’ve lived my entire life under that assumption.
But Victor Willis has a wife.
I bet he’s been propositioned more times than everybody reading this blog combined.
So maybe that played a role in his 967-word diatribe on the straightness of his life’s greatest achievement.
I wonder if Victor may have seen the writing on the wall?
Or at a least thought he did?
You know he’s been cashing checks like crazy ever since Donald Trump adopted the song.
Maybe he started seeing the accusations of “gay” on his timeline.
Then he started clicking on the articles to see what they said.
Then those types of articles got worked into his algorithm.
I can’t afford that.
I just closed on a beach house in Key West.
I need these fucking checks to keep cashing.
I gotta put a stop to this gay shit right away."
I have no idea at this point.
But good on you, Victor Willis.
Your post made me laugh.
And now I know that neither you, or your song are gay.
I’m glad the YMCA was finally able to come out hetero.
That was very brave of it.
