YMCA/VILLAGE PEOPLE


“Y.M.C.A.” fue número uno en Inglaterra y Costa Rica; y número dos en Estados Unidos. Esta canción no estuvo exenta de controversia.
Dado que YMCA es una asociación de carácter cristiano que se decia a la ayuda y orientación de los jóvenes, se sintió afectada porque un grupo homosexual le dedicara una canción, lo que la llevó a demandar a Village People. Sin embargo, la demanda fue retirada sin dar mayores explicaciones.
---
Mezcla de ingenio y exageración, Village People se convirtió en un fenómeno mundial durante los años dorados del disco. El grupo fue creado y diseñado por el productor francés Jacques Morali en 1977 para atraer a la audiencia homosexual a través de los estereotipos más comunes a los que respondía este grupo.
Los compositores Phim Hurt y Peter Whitehead se encargaron de componer temas en los que la temática homosexual se colaba a través de roles, usos y costumbres. Canciones como “Go West” o “Macho Man” tocaban la agenda de intereses del grupo.
Al mismo tiempo se eligieron personajes y su vestimenta para completar la puesta en escena: vaquero, motociclista, soldado, indio, policía y el trabajador de la construcción bailaban una coreografía planeada para el público.Su primer integrante fue Felipe Rose a quien vio bailando en un bar de Greeenwich Village vestido como indio. Morali y su socio Henri Belolo contrataron a los compositores Phim Hurt y Peter Whitehead para que empezaran a armar un repertorio antes de que la formación se completara con Alexander Briley, Randy Jones, David Hodo, Glenn Hughes y el cantante Victor Willis a quien encontraron en un espectáculo en Broadway.

Young man, there's no need to feel down
i said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
i said, young man, 'cause your 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 young 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've 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 young 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 young men to enjoy.
you can hang out with all the boys.
Y.m.c.a.
it's fun to stay at the y.m.c.a.
it's fun to stay at the y.m.c.a.
young man, young man, there's no need to feel down
young man, young man, pick yourself off the ground
Y.m.c.a.
just go to the y.m.c.a.
young man, young man, i was once in your shoes,
young man, young man, i was out with the blues
Y.m.c.a.
y.m.c.a.
y.m.c.a.
y.m.c.a.

When covering the area, it should be enough to
use a regular bandage. Touching your chin frequently will transfer these germs and dirt
to the chin area which may result in acne on chin.
There are a wide range of self tanners to choose from at department stores,
but why not treat yourself to a spray tan at your
nearest tanning salon.

Even though skin tags are harmless to your body
system, they can cause embarrassment as well as frustrations.
Applying a mixture of castor oil and baking soda three times daily may help
eliminate tags. These cells produce melanin which produce the color of the skin, eyes
and hair.
