En la bulliciosa escena nocturna de Nueva York durante la década de 1970, una idea audaz surgió en la mente de Jacques Morali, un productor francés con un oído sagaz para la música disco y un ojo visionario para el espectáculo. Junto con su colaborador Henri Belolo, Morali ideó un grupo que no solo cautivaría con sus melodías pegajosas, sino que también encarnaría un espíritu provocador y festivo. Así se dió paso al nacimiento de Village People en 1977.
El nombre del grupo no fue una elección al azar; se inspiró en Greenwich Village, un barrio de Manhattan conocido por su vibrante comunidad LGTB y su rica diversidad cultural. Desde el principio, Village People tenía claro que su identidad no seguiría las normas convencionales. Un casting entre bailarines y actores reunió al elenco original compuesto por Victor Willis (el policía), Felipe Rose (el nativo americano), Randy Jones (el vaquero), David Hodo (el obrero), Glenn Hughes (el motociclista) y Alex Briley (el militar/marinero).
El primer gran éxito del grupo llegó con su segundo álbum, Macho Man, y más tarde con el icónico YMCA en 1978. La canción, con su coro pegajoso y coreografía inolvidable, se convirtió en un himno de fiesta en todo el mundo. El álbum Cruisin', donde se encuentra “YMCA”, catapultó al grupo a la fama internacional y estableció su estilo distintivo de melodías enérgicas combinadas con letras insinuantes.

Diet LyricsD-I-E-T, D-I-E-T
You eat all the time
You sleep with Twinkies on your mind
And candy driving you insane
Food's on your brain
Ice cream by the pound
You're hiding junk food all around
Your belly grows more every day
Health's on its way
Diet
You'll feel better if you try it
Don't you know you better diet
Or you're gonna have to pay!
So diet
You'll feel better if you try it
Don't you know you gotta diet?
Or you're gonna roll away!
Shoplift by the bowl
You know you're losing all control
You've got a junk food misery
But you can't see
Get it back in hand
You've got the power to command
You've got to curb your appetite
Put up a fight
