Чего только не узнаешь случайно...
На работе коллега услышав по радио песню YMCA бросил, что дескать песня его детства. Решили узнать что же оно значит... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YMCA_(song)

"Y.M.C.A." is a 1978 song by the Village People which became a hit in January 1979.

Taking the song at face value, its lyrics extol the virtues of the Young Men's Christian Association. In the gay culture from which the group sprang, the song was understood as celebrating the YMCA's reputation as a popular cruising and hookup spot, particularly for the younger gay men to whom it was addressed (ironically, at the time that the song was a hit, the gay community both increased its visibility and no longer felt the need to use organizations such as the YMCA as a cover for its sexual activities, and the YMCA moved toward being a more family-oriented and less exclusively male organization).
