President Donald Trump has triggered the left so thoroughly that even the music he uses at his rallies has become a point of contention. Several bands and musical artists have vociferously objected to the president’s use of their songs during his events.
But the popular 80s-era band known as The Village People have taken a different approach. Trump frequently uses the songs “YMCA” and “Macho Man” in his rallies. Unlike other musical acts, The Village People have not objected to his use of their music.
Victor Willis, the songwriter responsible for the smash hit “YMCA,” stated that he had no problem with Trump using the song, but he did have one suggestion. Willis released a statement in which he talked about the song’s meaning and its use at Trump rallies. “YMCA is everybody’s anthem and go-to song for fun. As for the president’s use, I have not granted permission for use at his rallies because permission is not required.”
The musician continued: “If I were a Trump hater, maybe I’d sue him simply out of spite. I am not, and I’m not going to have my lawyers sue the president.”
Then, Willis made his demand known: “But he should at least do the ‘YMCA’ dance while he’s at it.”
