The overtly gay group were as well known for their outrageous on-stage costumes (each member dressing up as a police officer, an American Indian chief, and ???) as for their catchy tunes and lyrics, which had fairly blatant gay themes which seemed to be missed by much of the straight community - for instance, their hit In The Navy was actually considered by the United States Navy for use in a recruiting advertising campaign until the homophobic organisation actually realised the joke was on them.

Their other hits included Macho Man, and YMCA, a song about the YMCA. A dance involving forming these four letters is still popular at office functions and college parties more than twenty years later, ensuring the song continued recognition and popularity.
