I like that the red portion is taken out of Y, but they should have made much less Y than M, C or A as many people don’t come in until the letters have already begun.
The verses are:
Young man, there’s no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, ’cause you’re in a new town
There’s no need to be unhappy.
Young man, there’s a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you’re short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I’m sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.
Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams.
But you got to know this one thing!
No man does it all by himself.
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
And just go there, to the y.m.c.a.
I’m sure they can help you today.
Young man, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt no man cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole world was so tight …
That’s when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
There’s a place there called the y.m.c.a.
They can start you back on your way.
obligatory graph nerd gripe: you should have used a bar chart for this.
(what, so 24% of people know Y, 24 C, 24 M, 24A, and 4% know the rest of the words? Pick the right five people, and by their strangely autistic powers combined, you can do the whole song!)
i ot the LOL speak version today it was so funny i teared up but they left out u kin git ya self kleen (cat nip) u kin has a gud meal (nom) u kin do wut eber u feel
You forgot “Young Man…” That should be nearly equal to the Y M C A sections.
da-daa-da-daa-da-da-da Y-M-C-A da-daa-da-daa-da-da-da Y-M-C-A
Yeah I was going to say that it isn’t very fair, I also know “Young man!”
I’m sure 90% of people can throw out another part of a line like “it’s fun to stay at the” or “have—a—good-time”
And, of course, “It’s fun to stay at the…”
Ditto
agreed feisty
I remember “It’s fun to stay at the…”
Aw, I’m old enough to know all the lyrics
Or Gay Enough
Huh, I’m a 21 year old straight girl and I know almost all the lyrics to YMCA. But then I am a bit of an anachronism in that I adore disco.
obviously you’re lying to yourself.
Knowing all the words to YMCA might put your sexuality in question, but knowing all the words to Macho Man confirms it.
Im just gonna say ‘Muppet Show’..
Or, hey, maybe you’re just a fan of the Village People! Who knew it could happen independent of one’s gender preferences.
I only know part of Macho Man, so I guess I’m still straight.
No, that would put you somewhere in-between.
What about Nacho Man?
Also, FailGraph. There should be more pink and flamboyantly fabulous purple.
Ur graph seems to suggest that slightly less ppl kno the lyric Y than M, C or A
Drunk people tend to react slowly and therefore only realize they’re at the chorus in time to catch the end of the Y / start of the M.
Haha, WIN
I like that the red portion is taken out of Y, but they should have made much less Y than M, C or A as many people don’t come in until the letters have already begun.
But people still know them.
Why, um, see, hey. Da dadada da Why Um See Hey

You left out:
You can get yourself clean
You can have a good meal
You can do what-ev-er you feel
Oh yes, and someone already mentioned
You can hang out with all the boys
YOUNG MAN,In the NAVY,MACHO MACHO MAN,I gotta be a Macho man,
hmm… 20% for each?

How have you all forgotten:
“You can hang out with all the boys!’
According to this graph, people don’t know the Y and the A as much as the M and the C
i ot the LOL speak version today it was so funny i teared up but they left out u kin git ya self kleen (cat nip) u kin has a gud meal (nom) u kin do wut eber u feel
Please die.
Don’t use my pies like this! First that sicko in American Pie, and now you using a pie chart inappropriately?
According to this graph, you can know “Y”, “M”, “C”, “A”, or other words. Everybody knows one and only one?
Mutually-exclusivity fail.
