at least I don't think I have. I've seen it referenced on du many times but I still haven't heard it. it's an odd song title, imo.

Song came out just a couple of years before the AIDS crisis hit.

Young man there's no need to feel down
I said young man pick yourself off the ground
I said young man 'cause your in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy

Young man there's a place you can go
I said young man when you're short on your dough
You can stay there and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They have everything For young men to enjoy.
You can hang out with all the boys.

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
You can get yourself clean
You can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel.

Young man, Are you listening to me
I said, young man, what do you want to be
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams,
But you've got to know this…

It is beyond my comprehension who would play this for the final departure of the president. Whoever put this mixtape together had a wonderful sense of humor.

He'd pulled out the stops in order to suppress cracking up earlier, when first hearing about Donnie's little song & dance routine with this song.
