President-elect Donald Trump’s musical dreams appear to be coming true. The Village People, the group behind the hit song “Y.M.C.A.,” say they’ve accepted an invitation to participate in Trump’s upcoming second inauguration. This will include at least one event that will involve Trump himself.

“We know this won’t make some of you happy to hear, however, we believe that music is to be performed without regard to politics,” the group wrote in a statement posted to Facebook. “Our song ‘Y.M.C.A.’ is a global anthem that hopefully helps bring the country together after a tumultuous and divided campaign where our preferred candidate lost.
