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.

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."

Donald Trump promised to get sworn in along with his supporters and welcomed Village People to perform "Y.M.C.A" the night before his inauguration.

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.

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. As Trump ended his final speech before taking the White House for a second term, the band Village People came on stage to perform their 1978 disco hit “Y.M.C.A.” live.

Victor Willis, the lead singer of the Village People, said that "music is to be performed without regard to politics."

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