Perfil

Village People é um grupo de disco americano, conhecido por seus figurinos de palco e letras sugestivas em suas músicas. Ficaram mais conhecidos pelos seus mega-hits mundiais "Macho Man" e "Y.M.C.A.", ambos de 1978. O grupo, surgido em boates nos Estados Unidos, foi criado entre 1976 pelos produtores Jacques Morali e Henri Belolo. O nome originou-se do reduto gay de Nova Iorque na época, o Greenwich Village, e a banda ficou conhecida por apresentar-se com fantasias que evocavam símbolos de "masculinidade": um policial (Victor Willis), um índio norte-americano (Felipe Rose), um cowboy (Randy Jones), um operário (David "Scar" Hodo), um soldado (Alex Briley) e um motociclista (Glenn Hughes). As suas animadas músicas contêm temas com ironias sutis, nem sempre percebidas pelos ouvintes nas décadas de 1970 e 80. O hit "Macho Man", de 1978, e seu videoclipe, onde aparecem vestidos como tipos "másculos", é um exemplo disso mesmo. O sucesso aconteceu primeiro na Inglaterra, em 1977, com "San Francisco (You've Got Me)". Nos Estados Unidos, o sucesso veio em 1978, com "Macho Man". O grupo lançou também "Y.M.C.A.", "In The Navy", "Go West" (regravada em 1993 pela dupla inglesa Pet Shop Boys) e várias outras que também alcançaram êxito. Em 1980, apareceram no filme baseado na história do grupo, Can't Stop The Music, que em 1981 recebeu o troféu de pior filme do ano, na primeira edição do irônico Framboesa de Ouro.

Versões de "Y.M.C.A."

Letra

Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're 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 you 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 cleaned, 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 got to know this one thing!

No man does it all by himself.
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
And just go there, to the y.m.c.a.
I'm sure they can help you today.

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 you 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 cleaned, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel ...

Young man, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt no man cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole world was so tight ...

That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
There's a place there called the y.m.c.a.
They can start you back on your way.

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 you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...

Y-m-c-a ... you'll find it at the y-m-c-a.

Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.

Y-m-c-a ... you'll find it at the y-m-c-a.

Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.

Y-m-c-a ... just go to the y-m-c-a.

Young man, young man, are you listening to me?
Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?
