MarSolo Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Also the Village People: “Moron.” Quote Trump most recently played Village People's 1978 track "Macho Man," a song that is widely considered a gay anthem, as he entered a rally in Sardar Patel Stadium in Ahmedabad, India, on Monday. He has been playing the song at rallies since at least 2018. Quote Some noted the irony of Trump entering to "Macho Man," given his administration's track record on LGBTQ rights and the fact that Village People is rooted in gay culture (the group's name refers to New York City's Greenwich Village, which was known for its large gay population during its formation).

Jason Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Isn't the song goofing on the hyper-machismo of the time period it was released in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Quote Since our music is not being used for a specific endorsement, the President’s use is “perfect[ly]” legal. He has remained respectful in his use of our songs and has not crossed the line; if he or any other candidate were to use any of our songs in a manner that would suggest our endorsement, or in a promotional advertisement, that would cross the line. Like millions of Village People fans worldwide, the President and his supporters have shown a genuine like for our music. Our music is all-inclusive and certainly everyone is entitled to do the YMCA dance, regardless of their political affiliation. Having said that, we certainly don't endorse his use as we'd prefer our music be kept out of politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush Limbaugh recently said that voters in the south will prefer a “man’s man” like Trump over someone like Pete Buttigieg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
