Donald Trump was seen dancing alongside The Village People at his pre-inauguration rally in Washington DC, after the band's singer hit out at claims the song is a 'gay anthem'

The president-elect performed his signature dance moves with the band, who once tried to ban him using their music.

Donald Trump asked the Village People to perform their 1970s hit Y.M.C.A. at his second inauguration just months after the band did a U-turn on him using their song

The chart-topping group once dunked on Trump for using its track at his rallies. Four years later, the band is giving him a live show at his second inauguration.

As the rally wrapped up, Trump danced and clapped along to the Village People’s 1978 hit “Y.M.C.A.,” a song frequently played at his campaign rallies. Smiling, he stood behind the group, delivering his trademark moves while the crowd cheered.

The president-elect’s celebratory rally in Washington, DC, concluded with a performance by the ’70s disco group.

The Save the Central YMCA Club, which organised the dance protest, are campaigning for a six-month pause in the closure. Campaigners said the delay was intended to give stakeholders time to come together to enable it "to thrive in a sustainable form".

The disco singing group Village People has undergone several personnel changes since the late 1970s. Here's where the O.G. members are now, and who'll be playing at Donald Trump's inauguration.
