Long before Gangnam style....
long before the boy bands....
there was Village People!
The group was formed during the 70s disco era and was well known for their costumes "depicting American cultural stereotypes" (from Wikipedia). After the first album was a hit, an advertisement was put out in a music trade magazine which read "Macho types wanted: must dance and have a moustache." Ha!
and thus was formed the first disco boy band!!
"Macho Man" 1978
"YMCA" from a concert at Coney Island 2012
and if you don't know how to do the YMCA dance and want to learn....
and for fun....
Village People wannabe's!
A Jawa, Greedo, Chewbacca and a Storm Trooper
make some great Village People!!

The YMCA will never go out of style. When I was in high school, it was played at every dance, and of course we still hear it at every sporting event. Which I'm not complaining about. :-)
So silly!! I love it.
Loved them too! Super memories again!
Brilliant! Love this post!
And now I've got 'macho, macho, man. I've got to be a macho man...' stuck in my head!! LOL
I used to have their album! :) Fun memories!
Great V post! Yes, the YMCA is still around!
It's amazing how it keeps on ticking...I've listened to that song for years...
such fun costumes!
Macho Man video is rather hilarious.
Ha.Ha. Ah, yes, I remember The Village People well -- and all the grandkids know the motions to YMCA!
I remember the YMCA song - thought it was so cute. Never noticed they all had mustaches! {:-D
