The group – who are still together and touring today – performed their hit YMCA at the unveiling ceremony last week, reports World of Wonder.net.

Originally created for a gay fan base in the late 1970's, the band's songs In the Navy, Go West, Macho Man and YMCA were soon mainstream hits.

The Village People's star is in front of the Scientology Building, one block from Hollywood's YMCA.

The Village People's classic track Go West appears below.
