    I had to read up on it just now. The abbreviation stands for “Young Men’s Christian Association” and apparently, it’s about as gay as it sounds, which the song celebrates.

      Is that really what it is? Shit I thought… well now that I think on it I’m not sure what I thought but not that. Some place with a pool and various physical activities.

      Well it was originally designed as a charitable organization to, among other things, provide temporary housing for homeless young men.

      Funny thing though, it turns out the way a lot of young men ended up being homeless was bigoted Christian parents kicking them out for being gay.
