How The Village People United The World in Torino 2006
I find it very interesting how the Village People were able to unite the people of the world. I have been watching snippets of the closing ceremonies in Torino but my jaw dropped when the dancers in the stadium started to "break out the moves" when the YMCA song started.
The camera work on the CBC was scanning the crowds and, to my astonishment, people were doing the YMCA moves! Flags from all over the world were being tossed around YMCA excitement. Canada, Italy, USA, Russia, and others were waving their flags to the YMCA. The friggin' YMCA song!
I exclaimed: "See! There is world peace in front of our eyes and everyone is missing it!"
How is this possible? A dance tune has broken down years of suspicion and history in a few seconds? I am forced to conclude, the human race should play the YMCA song all around the world and everyone will be able to put aside their differences and boogie down.
The amazing things we can discover from the Olympics.
