Share

Donald Trump has taken on a side gig DJing at his Mar-a-Lago hotel/estate property in Palm Beach, Florida and he claims that his favorite song to play is “YMCA” the 1978 hit song by the Village People, which Trump refers to as “the gay national anthem.”

Appearing on the Full Send podcast Thursday, Donald Trump boasted about his ability to “pick” good music, particularly when it’s party time at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. The former president revealed the go-to single that “really gets them rockin’” is the Village People tune “YMCA,” which he calls “the gay national anthem.”

I heard you’re quite the DJ these days one of the hosts say.

Trump: “I love music. I have an aptitude for music, can you believe that? During you know, over our lives, we take tests and aptitude tests and all this — I’ve always had a high aptitude for music. But I love great music. I love Broadway stuff and you know, ‘Phantom of the Opera’ and ‘Les Mis,’ etc. You know what really gets ‘em rockin’? ‘YMCA.’”

“‘YMCA,’ the gay national anthem. Did you ever hear that? They call it the gay national anthem. But ‘YMCA’ gets people up and it gets them moving.”

For those of you who don’t recall the song, the lyrics and YouTube video are below.
Lyrics:
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 YMCA
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do what ever 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 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 YMCA
I’m sure they can help you today
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do what ever 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 tight
That’s when someone came up to me
And said, young man, take a walk up the street
There’s a place there called the YMCA
They can start you back on your way
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
YMCA, it’s fun to stay at the YMCA
Young man, young man, there’s no need to feel down
Young man, young man, pick yourself off the ground
YMCA, it’s fun to stay at the YMCA
Young man, young man, are you listening to me
Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?
YMCA, you’ll find it at the YMCA
No man, young man, does it all by himself
Young man, young man, put your pride on the shelf
YMCA, and just go to the YMCA
Young man, young man I was once in your shoes
Young man, young man I was down with the blues, YMCA
