YMCA her Oldies But Goldies ve benzeri tarzda gerçekleştirilen nostalji 80′ler gecesinde çalan en meşhur şarkılardan biridir. Şarkının en belirgin özelliği ise gaylerin milli marşı olmasıdır.

“Genç adam, gittiğin her yerde eğlenebileceğin, yalnız kalmayacağın bir yer var. Çünkü Young Men Christian Assosiation’da kalmak çok eğlenceli” olarak çevirebileceğim ana teması ile garip bir gayliği vardır. Klibini de izlerseniz eğer; beyazı-zencisi, motorcusu-denizcisi-kovboyu ile devrinin her türlü gay potansiyeline sahip insanların dans edip bu marşı söylediğini görürsünüz.

Bir de nakaratında klasikleşmiş bir dansı vardır şarkının. Her YMCA nakaratında dansçılar elleri ile Y – M – C – A harflerini yaparlar. Tıpkı resimdeki gibi Bu elamanlar Hz. İsa’nın çarmıha gerilişini Y harfi olarak baz alarak M, C ve A harflerini de yanında canlandırarak cehenneme business class’ta bir gidiş biletini garantilemiş görünüyorlar. Ama doğruya doğru gomik

İşte şarkı;

İşte sözleri;

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 that you need 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 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 that you need 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, 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 jive …

That’s when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
It’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 that you need to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys …

YMCA
It’s fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A
Young man, young man there’s no need to feel down
Young man, young man pick yourself off the ground

Y-M-C-A
then just go to the Y-M-C-A
young man, young man I was once in your shoes
young man, young man I said, I was down and out with the blues.
Y-M-C-A
