The Village People are performing their 1978 hit “Y.M.C.A” at one of Donald Trump’s many inauguration celebrations.

Disco group Village People performed at three inaugural events for President Donald Trump. Its song 'Y.M.C.A.' became a favorite at Trump rallies.

Village People, the disco band whose “Y.M.C.A.” is like a new national anthem, is performing during Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities.

The Village People’s appearance at the Trump rally underscores his political comeback, even among his one-time nemeses—its manager Karen Willis, wife of band member Victor Willis, sent Trump’s lawyer a cease-and-desist letter after he was filmed dancing to “Macho Man” at Mar-A-Lago in 2023, Rolling Stone reported.

President-elect Donald Trump closed out his "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" address by dancing with the Village People in a performance of the group's 'Y.M.C.A.' disco hit.

The president-elect hosted the “Make American Great Again Victory Rally” at Washington’s Capital One Arena on Sunday, less than 24 hours before Inauguration Day.

During the course of his 2024 campaign run, Trump concluded over 110 rallies delivering his signature move as he exited the stage -- a double closed fist arm punch with shaking hips -- to Village People's iconic song, "Y.M.C.A."

The idea of Trump using the music of a band famous for its gay anthems has perplexed many, but the Maga movement does seem to enjoy a catchy tune.

The song actually came out about 46 years ago, in October 1978 and reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1979. In 2024, Trump's frequent use of the song drove it to No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Digital Song Sales Chart, where it stayed for five weeks.

The Village People—the band behind one of Trump’s favorite hits, “Y.M.C.A.”—will perform at a pre-inauguration event.

Village People will perform at Donald Trump's inauguration amid a long-standing feud between frontman Victor Willis and his former bandmates.
