來自70年代末的一隊男子組合﹐成員有著不同的扮相﹐有警長﹑猶長﹑修路工人﹑電單車手﹑甚至還有水手﹐都是一些力量的化身﹐組成於1977年﹐成員包括Randy Jones﹑ David Hodo﹑Felipe Rose﹑Victor Willis﹑Glenn Hughes 及 Alex Briley﹐他們就是 Village People。



Village People的意念來自唱片監制Jacques Morali及Henri Belolo﹐他希望組成一隊在服裝及型像上有特色﹐並且可吸引一班同志樂迷﹐於是他以 Victor Willis為首作為主音﹐並且三人擔任樂團的創作人。首張單曲 San Francisco (You Got Me) 首先打進英國市場﹐得到第45位﹐翌年第二張單曲 Macho Man回流到美國﹐打入 Billboard第25位﹐之後的 YMCA不單是他們流行榜最成功的單曲﹐也成為 Disco的經典。其後的 In The Navy及 Go West依然在流行榜得到不錯的成績﹐可是1979年正當樂團在事業高峰之際﹐也在他們拍攝電影 Can’t Stop The Music 期間﹐Victor 宣佈離團﹐於是Village People 也因為拍了爛片Can’t Stop The Music﹐致使樂團事業也隨之下滑。

Lyrics :
Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.
Young man, there's a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel ...
Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams.
But you got to know this one thing!
No man does it all by himself.
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
And just go there, to the Y-M-C-A.
I'm sure they can help you today.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel ...
Young man, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt no man cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole world was so tight ...
That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
There's a place there called the Y-M-C-A.
They can start you back on your way.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...
Y-M-C-A...
