A music composer, Jacques Morelli (played by Steve Guttenberg), quits his record job because he's been offered a chance to DJ at an exclusive club.

After playing some of his music to an apparently appreciative audience, it somehow transpires that if he can assemble a good group to sing his music, he will become an instant success in the music business.

His room-mate, a retired model (played by Valerie Perrine), has lots of connections in the entertainment industry, so she helps him put together a group.

Together with Ron, a tax lawyer (played by Bruce Jenner) they form a group of six 'macho men' from the Greenwich Village neighborhood called.... The Village People.

Althoug it is not openly said, the entire film is filled with gay men, gay eroticism even an entire gay neighbourhood (Greenwich Village).

It just oozes gay!

I can't help it, but I like this movie.
It is very camp, but that has a charm in itself. It is filled with good-looking men singing everywhere.

Just let yourself flow away on the flow of music. The only thing I missed was an acknowledgement of the gay part.

Lulu: Housework is like bad sex. Every time I do it I swear I will never do it again. Until the next time company comes.
Sam: Tacky.

Sam: The 70s are dead and gone. The 80s are going to be something wonderfully new and different, and so am I.

Norma: Ron, dear, didn't Greenwich-Village-people-types go out in the Sixties?
Sam: That's it! The name. "Village People."
Randy: Well, that's not a bad idea, that's what we are.
Felipe: That's where we're from.
Sam: "Village People," I can sell that.
Jack: Village People! That's fantastic! Thank you!
Norma: Oh, well, it does have a certain charm.

Sam: How could you just up and quit your job like that?
Ron: Why not? I'm the lawyer for the hottest act in show business: The Village People.

Jack: Ya see, sir, my father is Jewish and my mom, she's Italian Catholic, so, got all the bases covered. Speaking of bases, when the other kids were following the baseball charts I was following the pop charts.
Steve: I think I've heard that before. Why don't you save that for the liner notes on the album.
Jack: Album? Are we getting an album deal?
Steve: No! I did not say that.

Helen: Corporate thinking sucks.

Lulu: Oh, the Indian is hot. I go for exotic types, especially when they're half-naked.
Sam: Lulu!
Lulu: You tell him I'll make up for all the indignities they suffered in "Roots."

Helen: Oh, Jackie, it's true. There is magic in the world.

Sydney: I adore San Francisco! My favorite ex-husband lives there.
