Do The YMCA


The Village People’s iconic stature has created very influential impact on pop cultures all over the world.  If you put together images of a police officer, a construction worker, a big biker, a soldier, a native American, and a cowboy, nothing ever comes to mind but The Village People.  From Halloween to retro and disco-themed parties, chances are you’ll find a gang dressed up as The Village People.
The Village People dishes out hit after hit after hit.  “Go West”,  “In the Navy”, Milkshake”, “I Am What I Am”, and “Can’t Stop The Music”, are just  some of their biggest hits that shook the world and triggered as a disco revolution, hailing them as ‘Kings of Disco’.  They ruled over the 70s until some parts of the 80s.  Their careers mellowed down at the onset of the new wave era.  Yet, their influence on music, pop culture, live performances have never waned.  They’ve continued touring the world, guesting in television shows, and some members pursuing solo projects.  The Village People’s characters, looks, may find traces or references of Village People characters in the video game Grand Theft Auto, tv shows like The Muppets, The Simpsons, Married With Children, That 70s Show, and movies like Wayne’s World.  As if these were not enough, their albums, especially those Greatest Hits and Best Of compilations, are still raking in sales.. Thus, it comes no surprise that they have sold over 100 million records (and still counting) worldwide.  Their Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, which was awarded to them in September 2008, is indeed well-deserved.
