Wasn't that kind of a gay men's anthem from the late 1970s by the Village People?

Yeah, pretty much everything they sang about was a "gay theme".
Amazing how many straight people never "got it"... but then denial is just a river in Egypt too.
I remember a story from back in the day that the Navy was thinking of using the Village People to promote joining the service. Until it was pointed out to the recruiting people that this might not be the correct message (for the actively anti-gay military of the day).

This beautiful body, gay Macho Man can also connote trump [cock holster for putin], the bare chested putin, . . . , . . . , . . . ,
Hope some of the resident DU humorists riff on this

(652 posts)so, without telling him who recorded it, I played it for him on youtube. He said the song was the gayest thing he's ever heard. (also that there is no such thing as gay music)
He didn't recognize the group until I played YMCA.
So now I'm thinking that whoever chose the song was being ironic.
Then again, when Village People were popular, I had no idea they were gay. I thought they were costumed as friends of the working class. I also thought they were a great example of people of different races working together and being friends.
