President Trump has drawn heat form stars such as Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones and John Fogerty for using their songs before his rallies, but one composer has no problem with it.
Victor Willis of the Village People says Trump is welcome to continue using “YMCA” at his re-election rallies — he just wants to see the commander in chief do the iconic dance.
“’YMCA’ is everybody’s anthem and go-to song for fun. As for the president’s use, I have not granted permission for use at his rallies because permission is not required,” Willis told Bloomberg News through a spokesman.
“If I were a Trump hater maybe I’d sue him simply out of spite,” Willis said. “I am not, and I’m not going to have my lawyers sue the president. But he should at least do the ‘YMCA’ dance while he’s at it.”

I like the idea.
Dance, sir, if you please. :)
As fun as it would be to see them dance, they don’t want clips of them dancing, a la the Mooch, as it always looks bad no matter how good you are.
I like Macho Man because Trump is the ultimate Macho Man.
Megatdeath took their name from the one-off band from National Lampoon.
John Belushi, Chevy Chase and others, and they were heavy and used music to kill.
The optics are not good.

I would like to see the crowds sing the village people parody to the tune of YMCA while waiting at the rally. .... very pro Trump and pro USA.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Agree. Should be a part of every rally
There were a few YMCA hotels nationally. I stayed in the San Francisco YMCA for a night, a long time ago. My main memory of the visit, apart from the gay truck driver who tried to pick me up, was listening to a pianist in a room off the lobby play Rachmaninoff preludes. He wasn't bad.

America, there’s no need to feel down
Trump says , America , pick yourself off the ground
I said, young America, ‘cause you’re in a patriot now
There’s no need to be afraid
America, there’s a movement you can do
I said, America, when you’re ready to vote
You can stay vote there, and I’m sure you will find
every one having a good time
It’s fun to vote at the polls

trump has everything for America to enjoy
You can vote because you have a choice
It’s fun to vote at the Poles
It’s fun to vote at the Poles
You can get yourself a ballot and do a patriotic deal.
You can vote however you feel
America, are you listening to me?
I said, America, what do you want it to be?
I said, America, you can make real your dreams
But you got to know this one thing
No president does it all by himself
I said, America, put your pride on display
And just go out there, and vote
I’m sure Trump can help you today

America, was once in the Blues
America , was down and out because of the news

We felt the whole world was uptight
That’s when trump came up to us
And said, America, take a walk up the street
There’s a place there called the ballot box
voting can start America on your way
It’s fun to rally at Trump tower
It’s fun to rally at Trump tower

American, voter, pride in the your self
America just go out and vote
America, America we are in the same shoes
America America We should not be in the blues,
Thank you.
