YMCA Singer Says He’s Open To Performing at President Trump’s Inauguration


YMCA has become a MAGA anthem, inspiring Americans of all ages and backgrounds to come together online and imitate President Trump’s iconic dance moves!

You know, this dance move:

It’s legendary!

But, do you remember when the Village People — the band behind the song — actually demanded that President Trump stop playing the song at his rallies?

Well now, one of the band’s founders, Victor Willis, has done a complete 180 flip, telling Fox & Friends that the band would “seriously consider” performing the YMCA at President Trump’s Inauguration — in one circumstance.

If President Trump called him up and asked the band to play, he would be open to it in order to make him and the American people happy.

Victor Willis also explained his change of heart, saying that he decided to allow President Trump to keep using the YMCA, “because he seems to genuinely, genuinely like the song, and so many other artists were stopping him from using their music,” and “he seemed to be bringing so much joy to the American people with his use of YMCA.”

Independent commented:

A founding member of the Village People and long-time critic of Donald Trump’s use of the group’s song YMCA is changing his tune and says he would now consider performing the 70s anthem at the president-elect’s upcoming inauguration.

Victor Willis told Fox & Friends First that he would also allow the president-elect to continue using the song at events.

“I decided to allow the president-elect’s continued use of YMCA because he seems to genuinely, genuinely like the song, and so many other artists were stopping him from using their music,” Willis told Fox Thursday.

Willis had for years demanded that Trump stop using the song, which is widely regarded as a popular gay anthem often performed by the distinctively outfitted Village People, an odd choice for a man opposed to the LGBTQ community.

Willis added: “I decided to contact BMI [Broadcast Music, Inc.] and told them not to terminate his political use license because he seemed to be bringing so much joy to the American people with his use of YMCA.”

Trump’s wooden dance moves to the song have gone viral across social media and even prompted responses in the world of sports.
