What inspired the Village People’s band name?
Tenor

I have to say, it's pretty impressive that this band has the power to get literally anyone, of any age, anywhere in the world, at any time to spell the letters "Y-M-C-A" out with their arms in unison.

Admit it — your arms are twitching just thinking about it.

But I never really that about the origin of the band's name. Perhaps because I'm always distracted by the costumes. Where did Village People take inspiration for their name?
