The campy gay-influenced late 70's disco group called the Village People had three top 40 hits. One was "YMCA." What were the other two?

Beyond their iconic hit "Y.M.C.A.," the flamboyant disco group the Village People scored two other major successes that charted in the top 40: "Macho Man" and "In the Navy." "Macho Man," released in 1978, was the group's first charting hit in the United States, reaching number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. The following year, "In the Navy" climbed even higher, peaking at number three on the US charts. These catchy tunes, along with "Y.M.C.A.," solidified the Village People's place as a memorable act of the late 1970s.

The Village People were the brainchild of French producers Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo, along with lead singer Victor Willis. They were deliberately created to appeal to the gay audience of the disco era, with the group's name referencing New York City's Greenwich Village, a well-known gay neighborhood. The distinct costumed characters—including a cowboy, construction worker, Native American, and G.I.—were chosen to embody "macho gay-fantasy personas" and became instantly recognizable symbols of the group.

The producers even placed ads seeking "macho types" with mustaches to complete the lineup, reflecting the exaggerated masculinity central to their image and music. While the group's songs often had suggestive lyrics, their upbeat melodies and choreographed routines made them mainstream sensations. Victor Willis, as the lead singer, often penned the lyrics for their most successful tracks, contributing to the unique blend of camp and disco that defined the Village People's enduring legacy.
