Donald Trump said at a recent Florida event that his public dance to Y.M.C.A. helped bring new attention to the Village People hit more than four decades after its original release.
Speaking to attendees, Trump said the song was not at No. 1 for many years before it saw renewed chart activity. He also said Melania Trump does not like when he performs the dance, adding that she has told him it does not look presidential.
Y.M.C.A. was first released in 1978 and became one of Village People’s best-known songs. It reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1979 and has remained a familiar track at public events, parties, and sports venues.
