In the Navy
: ''For the 1941 Abbott & Costello film, see In the Navy (film)''.
"In the Navy" is a song by the American disco group Village People. It was the last top 10 hit for the group in the United States.
==Background and writing==
After the enormous commercial success of their 1978 hit "Y.M.C.A." which unexpectedly became the ''unofficial'' hymn and powerful advertising tool for the YMCA, the group took on another national institution, the United States Navy. The Navy contacted group manager Henri Belolo to use the song in a recruiting advertising campaign for television and radio. Belolo gave the rights for free on the condition that the Navy help them shoot the music video. Less than a month later, Village People arrived at Naval Base San Diego where the Navy provided them with the frigate USS ''Reasoner'', several aircraft, and the crew of the ship (with the stipulation that they couldn't dance).〔(Ed Vulliamy on the Village People story | Music | The Observer )〕 The Navy later canceled the campaign after protests erupted over using taxpayer money for a music video of a controversial group.
In a landmark ruling in 2012, the United States District Court for the Southern District of California ruled that under the Copyright Act of 1976, Victor Willis (Village People's "Cop"/"Naval officer" and co-composer) can terminate his copyrights to songs written by him and granted to the publishers Can't Stop Productions and Scorpio Music."〔(Village People Songwriter Victor Willis Wins Case Over Termination of 'Y.M.C.A.' Rights - Hollywood Reporter )〕 Willis now owns (recaptured) 33% of his songs.〔(Village People Motorcycle Cop Wins ‘YMCA’ Copyright Case - Bloomberg )〕
