Why they might be annoying:

The group's original requirements were to be a good looking male with a mustache and be able to sing and dance.
They were formed in a gay bar in New York City's Greenwich Village.
All their music relies on a similar drum beat.
Felipe Rosa was the first member of the Village People, when used to dance in New York streets wearing an indian costume.

Why they might not be annoying:

Y.M.C.A. is the theme song of the grounds crew for the New York Yankees.
They were very successful and can be considered forerunners of boy bands and the Spice Girls.
They broke through many sexual barriers to become commercially successful.
They were formed as a gay band, with their costumes expressing their ideal man.
There success came when many women, looked at them as the ideal men (not getting the gay undertones).
If women surround them, it doesn't take long for men to be there too.
