Village People Not Laughing at YMCA Parody

YouTube may soon be facing yet another suit over the use of copyrighted music in one of its videos, this time from the company that owns the rights to the music produced by the Village People. Can't Stop Productions is apparently not too amused with a parody that has appeared on the social video site which edits footage of Adolf Hitler and other nazi soldiers appearing to dance and sing the group's hit song "YMCA." The video may be especially offensive to the group considering two of the performers are Jewish.

A search for "YMCA Hitler" brings up two copies of the video, although clicking them brings up the message "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by CAN'T STOP PRODUCTIONS / SCORPIO MUSIC." Another video appears below it, with Hitler and others appearing to sing Patrick Hernandez's 1978 disco hit "Born to Be Alive." That video was still available as of press time.
