YMCA, the original village original or the resumption of the Smurfs? – release

Strange fate than that of Ymca Since its release in 1978. The intergalactic tube of the American group Celebrity villagemounted from scratch and produced by the French Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo will have been in turn (and sometimes at the same time) a disco tube, a gay anthem celebrating with covered words the meetings between boys in the YMCA movement (the Christian union of young men in VF), a life annuity for its singers, an evening tube on which is flourished, and today hammer ad nauseam. And if the leader of the surviving people village is today defended from any homosexual implication in Ymcasee these six gay archetypes inspired by Tom of Finland Dandine at the inauguration of Donald Trump has something surreal.

The new favorite song of the American far right has experienced many lives. Country, jazz, ska punk, merengue, reggae, dance or, of course, disco, nearly 80 artists have rubbed shoulders with the recovery. But it was in France that we showed more originality in adaptation. Du lourdaud, with the parody that is difficult to listen to today of bidochons (the elegant At the pedés) or the double -meaning text with finesse of the ineffable Francky Vincent (I like to saw); Mignon with Henri from (Cgrilled acahores) or the version of Minions Dyears me, ugly and nasty 2; and above all irritant, with the Eurodance tidal wave of I like to dance (ymca) dEs Smurfs in 1996. New York meetings between big boys at school lessons … funny course.
