Funny how some songs that were around decades ago become more popular today. What's old is new. Even though they had a gay following all of the Village People claim they're straight. On the other hand their first Manager Jacques Morali was like a $3 bill.

Hope Issac Hayes heirs are happy he stopped Trump from use “Hold On”. Too bad he croaked before seeing Trump win.

There have been a few singers in recent years who have been publicly outraged that a Republican such as Trump, would have the audacity to use their music.

It’s funny because the singers have to license their music for public use. And then they profit from it when their music is used.

But many feel the need to publicly state how they don’t support Trump or other evil Republicans who use their music.

I remember the singer from the Pretenders complaining that Rush was opening his show with “Back to Ohio.” Turns out her parents were huge Rush fans.

I thought so too, but I dug into this after reading the article.

it seems like it was basically Victor Willis (the black “cop”) who was the lead singer and also provided recording of the “backup vocals”, whiel thee rest of the Village people were all dancers - kind of like Boney-M.

however, it does seem like the dancers were floofs, like the French producer

Actually this is very good - how many artists have come forward demanding Trump NOT use their music and threaten to sue it he doesn't cease and desist?

Here are a few:

ABBA

Adele

Beyoncé (why would anyone associated with Trump use anything by Beoncé?).

Creedence Clearwater Revival

After Trump used Creedence Clearwater Revival's song "Fortunate Son" in his 2020 campaign, the band's lead vocalist John Fogerty issued a cease and desist order.

Downtown Detroit Witherall YMCA was a great place to go to work out, play basketball, swim and have fun on Saturdays with my friends back in the day.

Thanks very much for posting that. I had no idea she actually gave Rush permission to use her song, as the internet rumor mill has all kinds of rubbish to the contrary. Her own words are the last word and a good example of practicing the long American tradition of “agreeing to disagree” without being disagreeable.
