If the Village People were around with their chaffing YMCA fun, maybe things would have been a little different, who knows. I honestly can say I could see Hitler pantomiming letters and being a much happier well adjusted person. Or not.
The folks that own the rights to the tunes don't think so. Seems someone made their own video by combining YMCA with footage of a dancing Hitler. It of course is a very popular Youtube Video, but some aren't laughing and their ready to take YouTube to court.
Apparently Youtube has been sent over 500 take down notices, everytime it comes off, someone puts it right back up. This, is to be expected.

What's more aggravating for Giacobbi and the group is that copycat videos have begun cropping up. Many show the same footage but are combined with other songs by the group, a '70s disco band whose members dressed in costume.
"It's highly inappropriate," Giacobbi said. "Consider that the song's composers were both Jewish. It's not funny. It's stupid and hurtful."----Read
