Gay National Anthem? Correction Mr. President. YMCA is a fun American-Anthem loved the world over; young, old, straight and gay. An anthem for all those who loves to party and have a good time. I wrote the lyrics. I ought to know.

Lots of controversy over @realDonaldTrump use of Y.M.C.A. As I've said before, @realDonaldTrump use is perfectly legal so I won't be suing the President. However, I will sue the next newspaper that falsely claim my lyrics are somehow about gay sex. It is not.

Great sketch by @nbcsnl but in reality @WeVillagePeople are not issuing a cease and desist to @realDonaldTrump at this late stage of the campaign as the hilarious sketch suggests.
Here now with a message in response to Donald Trump are. the Village people.

Only a performance @RiotFest with my group @wevillagepeople could excite me enough for a rare tweet. Looking forward to this performance. And don't be surprised if Y.M.C.A. is suddenly R.I.O.T. Hell I wrote the song, Lol. peace out!

Here's my position on @realDonaldTrump use of my music. Though I don't endorse his use, I'm not in the position to ban such use unless he crosses the line. He has not. I have Democrats and Republican fans alike.

The re-claiming of @WeVillagePeople Y.M.C.A, lol. .
The crowd outside the White House celebrating Joe Biden’s projected victory is blaring YMCA — the song President Trump closed out his latest rallies with.

Didn't expect @realDonaldTrump to dance to YMCA again so soon, lol. Oh well, show us your best moves Joe.
@WeVillagePeople you guys need to make him stop playing your song. Especially if he’s going to try to dance to it . #DumpTrump #VoteHimOut2020.

@PaulCullenDub @realDonaldTrump The joke's on you. I wrote the lyrics. I ought to know! Jacques Morali only wrote the music. Cruising in the Black and Latino communities means simply that, cruising. Stop thinking all Village People music is about you. It is not!.

I don't like my music being associated with this at all. I'm not going to take much more of this.

Don't miss the world premiere of Village People first virtual performance of Y.M.C.A., at @GlobalPride2020.
Notoriously known for shaking up the disco scene in the 70s, our next performers are none other than @WeVillagePeople! They are an essential family name to LGBTI+ people and allies around the world; with hits like ‘Macho Man’ and ‘Y.M.C.A.’ you can’t not sing-along to them!

@PaulCullenDub @realDonaldTrump Village People proudly appeal to the Gay community. Did we record songs with a Gay subtext? You betcha! YMCA is just not one of them. Our first album was completely Gay. All I'm saying is that not all the Village People are gay. Only some of them. Got it?.

@PaulCullenDub @realDonaldTrump That's like saying because I'm black, all Village People songs must be about black people or have an African American subtext. The truth is, only some of Village People songs have a Gay subtext. YMCA is not one of them. Deal with it. Peace out.

What a fiasco! @CliveDavis and @NYCMayor knew a hurricane was headed to New York. Yet, with visions of grandeur, the bands played on.

@rosemhill Thanks. For the first time in many years, fans are once again hearing the actual original lead singer. Only fans of the former group would complain about that. In fact, the original VP with exception of 3 of us, died of AIDS by the mid-1990s. But the actual original VP is me.

@rosemhill only one original member of Village People? The former group who you might be a fan of, had only 2 original members, neither of which are the singers of any of the Village People hits. Is that shocking? I am the co-founder, singer and writer of all the VP hits.
