Y.M.C.A.

Y.M.C.A. by Village People was a UK number 1 hit on Saturday, January 6, 1979 spending 3 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. Y.M.C.A. stands for "Young Men's Christian Association," which is commonly associated with the gyms that often provide temporary housing to men. The Village People sing about the YMCA as a place where you can hang out with all the boys. It's implied that this is more of a concealed kind of place to gather in-the-closet gay young men so they can leave their worries and troubles behind and let loose. While the lyrics don't contain any specific gay references, the song became a gay anthem.
