bir lgbt sözlüğünün bu güzide parçayı hatırlamaması ne enteresan.

village people'ın parçası hakikatten (kendisi gibi) zamanı için sağlam bir çıkış yapmıştır. klibinde sergilenen dans ise oldukça popüler olmuştur.

village people'ın gay üyelerden oluştuğunu ise bilmem söylememe gerek var mı...
...1990'larda ne ifade ettiğini hiç bilmeden dinlediğimiz nostaljik parçalardan biriydi.
üniversitedeyken bir arkadaştan village people ı öğrendikten sonra daha büyük önem kazanmıştı...
heyhat!


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 clean, 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 clean, 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 jive ...

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....you'll find it at the y.m.c.a.

young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.
young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.

y.m.c.a....you'll find it at the y.m.c.a.

young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.
young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.

y.m.c.a....just go to the y.m.c.a.

young man, young man, are you listening to me?
young man, young man, what do you wanna be?
young men's christian association. amerika'da köklü bir genç erkekler kulübü. her bi yerde şubesi vardır. eşcinsellikle doğrudan pek alakası olan bir yer olmasa da, "men only" yapısından dolayı sikiş sokuşa müsait bir yerdir. havuzuna falan gitmiştim ben, çok güzel tesisleri var, öyle mutlaka hıristiyan olucan falan da demiyorlar (en azından benim gittiğim yer öyleydi).

şarkı olanı için konuşursam, müzikal açıdan bence gayet bok gibi bir şarkı olsa da, kafa güzelken ortamda başka eşcinsel erkeklerin de olduğu bir yerde dansıyla beraber yapması herhalde dünyanın en eğlenceli şeyi olabilir. yaptım, aşırı eğlendim, sabaha kadar yapardım herhalde. bir de böyle dansıyla yapması eğlenceli macarena var ama o eşcinsel exclusive bi şarkı değil. gene de o dansı yapan erkeklerin herhalde hepsi geydir...
