You can't BE a DJ unless you own this song...

I'm sure it's a law somewhere:




ALSO: Since that song came out, I have yet to see one sit-com not have some kind of take on it. I'm probably wrong, but I don't care. By the way, my lawyer, who can most definitely kick your ass in court, loves that song.

When Taylor Swift covered that song, a lot of people condemned her for it, because she wasn't black.

What's up with that anyway? It was totally unnecessary, and it STILL pisses me off.

I got a chance to hear it before she took it down, and she did a damn good job.

I have almost 1,400 songs on my iPhone, and if I listened 24/7, it would take me more than 3 and a half days to get through all of them.

Remember The Village People? Here's Where They Are Today
By Pippa Raga | UPDATED: 1 year ago

One of disco’s most enduring legends, The Village People, have been on the music scene for almost 40 years now. Their hits include songs like “Macho Man”, “In the Navy” and the universal bop known as “Y.M.C.A.”

If you haven't thought about the disco group in a while, we can't blame you. But perhaps you're wondering whether The Village People are even still alive. If so, you've come to the right place.

First things first, are The Village People still alive?

Today, the group only has one of it’s original members, Victor Willis (the Policeman), but he’s fronting a whole new revival with The Village People. In fact, the band has been putting out new music as recently as December 2019, when they released the groups first Christmas single, “Happiest Time of the Year.” The song even hit #20 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts, making it the band’s first Top 20 hit in 40 years.

But if Willis is the only original member steering the band into a new decade, what happened to the rest of The Village People: the Native American, the G.I./Sailor, the Leather Daddy, the Construction worker, and the Cowboy, who were all around during the group’s peak in 1979?

Keep reading to find out!

If my current vocation of the last 25 years doesn't work out, I can always get a job as a DJ dropping YMCA.
