Apropos of nothing

Just happened to think about an interesting oddity. Most of us know the song "YMCA" by the Village People.

The oddity is that this song is a very popular one on Japanese television shows, with everyone clapping and fashioning the YMCA signs with their arms. If you ask people here in Japan, they just think it is a fun song. I'm not sure they really listen to the words or know anything about the band.

And it is fun, so sing along!
