The Village People Join Prince’s Lawsuits

"It's fun to enforce the D-M-C-A!"

princeandvillagepeople.jpgWe already know that Prince really hates the Internets, and it seems his loathing is spreading. Seems like 1970s novelty act and measuring stick as to how old you are if you think it’s funny to dance to their songs, the Village People, are joining Prince in his lawsuits against The Pirate Bay and YouTube. Apparently, the wave of takedown orders on YouTube users who have been putting up mashups of nazis “dancing” to YMCA wasn’t enough. Guess they’ll be changing the lyrics to “It’s fun to enforce the D-M-C-A.”

If only the guys realised that viral was how their song was able to maintain some form of popularity since. Do they really think they’re getting a “public performance” cut everytime YMCA is played at a wedding? Or at high school sporting events? Or during rec time at Club Med?
