Prìomh sheinneadair na Daoine a’ Bhaile tha e air mìneachadh carson a thàinig e timcheall air mu dheireadh Dòmhnall Trump‘s leantainneach cleachdadh “YMCA” na buidhne ann an 1978 aig ralaidhean iomairt, a dh’ aindeoin a bhith ga fhaicinn an toiseach mar “nàire.”
Thàinig òran na buidhne disco gu bhith na phrìomh stàball iomairt don Cheann-suidhe taghte. Chluich e e aig cha mhòr a h-uile tachartas fhad ‘s a bha e soirbheachail gus an Taigh Gealgu tric a’ cur as dha seata de ghluasadan sònraichte.
Air Diluain (Dùbhlachd 2), bhruidhinn Victor Willis, 73, ris an àrdachadh mòr san òran anns na mìosan suas gu agus bhon taghadh, a’ roinn nota do luchd-leantainn agus na meadhanan.
“Is mise an seinneadair agus sgrìobhadair briathran an òrain ainmeil ‘YMCA’ Gu dearbh, mar a chaidh a bhreithneachadh agus a riaghladh ann an Cùirt Sgìre na SA, sgrìobh mi 100 sa cheud de na faclan, agus sgrìobh mo chompanach sgrìobhaidh, Jacques Morali an ceòl, ” chuir e air adhart Fb.
“Bho 2020, tha mi air còrr air mìle gearan fhaighinn mu chleachdadh Ceann-suidhe-Taghaidh Trump de‘ YMCA ’Leis na h-uimhir de ghearanan, chuir mi romham iarraidh air a’ Cheann-suidhe Taghaidh stad a chuir air YMCA oir bha a chleachdadh air a bhith na adhbhar dragh dhomh. Mhìnich Willis.
Ach, thuirt e gun do lean an iomairt le bhith a’ cleachdadh an òrain leis gu robh iad “air cead cleachdadh poilitigeach fhaighinn bho BMI”.
“Bha a h-uile còir aca cumail orra a’ cleachdadh ‘YMCA’ Agus rinn iad sin,” lean e air. “Gu dearbh, thòisich mi air mothachadh gu bheil grunn luchd-ealain a’ tarraing air ais cleachdadh a’ Cheann-suidhe Taghaidh den stuth aca. Ach mus tuirt mi ri mo bhean aon latha, hey, tha e coltach gu bheil ‘Trump’ dha-rìribh a’ còrdadh ri YMCA agus tha tòrr spòrs air a bhith aige leis.
“Mar sin, cha robh cridhe agam casg a chuir air a bhith a’ cleachdadh an òran agam gu leantainneach an-aghaidh uimhir de luchd-ealain a bhith a ’toirt air falbh an stuth aca,” thuirt Willis. “Mar sin thuirt mi ri mo bhean innse dha BMI gun a bhith a’ tarraing air ais cead cleachdadh poilitigeach iomairt Trump. Bha mo chom-pàirtichean Frangach a’ beachdachadh air cùis-lagha a-mach às an Fhraing. Mar sin thug mi air mo bhean fios a chuir chun com-pàirtichean Frangach againn agus dh ’iarr mi orra fuireach a-mach à cleachdadh iomairt Trump de‘ YMCA ’oir is e cùis SA a th’ ann, agus nì mi co-dhùnadh air a chleachdadh. Chuir ar com-pàirtichean Frangach gu sgiobalta an gearan an aghaidh a chleachdadh. ”
Nochd e gu bheil cleachdadh Trump den òran air buannachd mhòr a thoirt dha na h-àireamhan sruthadh aige a bharrachd air a bhith air leantainn gu tuairmse iomlan de “grunn mhilleanan dolar”.

“Mar sin, tha mi toilichte gun do leig mi leis a’ Cheann-suidhe Taghaidh a bhith a’ cleachdadh ‘YMCA’ gu leantainneach agus tha mi a’ toirt taing dha airson a bhith a’ taghadh an òran agam a chleachdadh,” thuirt e.
Fhad ‘s a tha faclan an òrain a’ toirt a-steach grunn bheachdan dùbailte mu bheatha fireannaich gèidh, agus mar sin cho mòr sa tha e sa choimhearsnachd LGBTQ+, chaidh Willis air adhart a’ dol às àicheadh bileag an òrain mar laoidh homosexual.
“Mar a thuirt mi grunn thursan san àm a dh’ fhalbh, is e beachd meallta a tha sin stèidhichte air gu robh mo chompanach sgrìobhaidh homosexual, agus gu robh cuid (nach robh uile) de Village Individuals homosexual, agus gun robh a’ chiad chlàr Village Individuals gu tur mu dheidhinn. beatha homosexual,” thuirt e.
“Tha a’ bharail website positioning cuideachd stèidhichte air gu robh an ‘YMCA’ a rèir choltais air a chleachdadh mar sheòrsa air choreigin de dhaoine gèidh agus leis gu robh aon de na sgrìobhadairean gèidh agus gu bheil cuid de mhuinntir a’ Bhaile gèidh, feumaidh an t-òran a bhith na theachdaireachd do dhaoine gèidh. . Chun na tha mi ag ràdh a-rithist, faigh do inntinn a-mach às a ‘chutar. Chan eil.”
Bha e a’ bagairt cùis-lagha a thoirt do gach buidheann naidheachdan a tha air iomradh meallta a dhèanamh “an dàrna cuid anns na cinn-naidheachd aca no air an tug iad iomradh aig bonn na sgeòil, gur e laoidh gèidh a th’ ann an ‘YMCA’ dòigh air choireigin leis gu bheil a leithid de bheachd stèidhichte a-mhàin air faclan an òrain a’ toirt iomradh air gnìomhachd airson rud nach eil.”
“Ach, chan eil dragh agam gu bheil daoine gèidh a’ smaoineachadh air an òran mar an laoidh aca,” thuirt e. “Is e an fhìor laoidh an tarraing a th’ aig ‘YMCA’ air daoine de gach seòrsa [sic] gabhail a-steach Ceann-suidhe-taghaidh Trump. Ach chan e laoidh gèidh dha-rìribh a th’ anns an òran ach a-mhàin gu bheil cuid de dhaoine ag ràdh gu meallta gur e. Agus feumaidh website positioning stad leis gu bheil e a’ dèanamh cron air an òran,” cho-dhùin Willis.
