[@SueSnellLives]

When I first heard this song at around age seven, I thought afternoon delight was some amazing kind of ice cream cone 😂 😳? This has to be the happiest song about sex ever recorded.

[@woodysthoughts4032]

Most fun you can have without laughing.

[@purpleaudkoala1]

Same here. We have a dessert called Angel Delight in the UK and I thought it was that. Well they were talking about 'dessert' I suppose!

[@abc456f]

Lol!

[@robinchesterfield42]

Apparently, one of the band members ate a dish called "Afternoon Delight" at a restaurant, and then came back to the rest of the band members and said what that phrase SHOULD mean. So...the inspiriation for the song did start OUT food-related... XD

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

I thought it was similar to Turkish Delight !!.. which i still love to this day..💞🇬🇧👍👏🙏🤣😂

[@mamamurray2]

When I was a kid, I thought this was about actual fireworks. Haha! 😂

[@danelleb.8149]

Hahahaha. I was clueless... until I was about 17 or so and someone mentioned this song. I felt so embarrassed that I would sing this song in front of my parents & grandparents as a kid. Hahaha

[@mamamurray2]

@@danelleb.8149 haha! I get it! 😄

[@DavidB-2268]

Same here. Took years before I actually paid attention to the lyrics.

[@monicamad1285]

Me too!! I was 11 yrs old, 😆

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Really? I loved it as a little girl but kinda thought- hmmmm.. they must be gonna hold hands and smooch a lil later? Lol

[@clashfan2875]

So good to see I wasn't the only clueless child singing this at the top of my lungs. So funny to think of now.

[@donnernoneya26]

Yeah, we were all clueless as to the meaning! LOL.

[@garylindsey5174]

Right up there with "The Pina Colada Song" by Rupert Holmes, I believe.

[@terri8988]

Jay your blushing ☺️ lol your too cute.

[@TwistedSither]

This song reminds me of another seventies hit, Chevy Van, by Sammy Johns.

[@ContrarianCorner]

I had completely forgotten about that one. Lol!

[@PaintedCavern]

I just listened to that this afternoon! An old favorite of mine. 😄

[@gigga143]

Chevy Van is my favorite 70s song of all time... i’m an 80s baby but i love that song

[@jonalberts980]

I think those of us that were very young children in the 80's have a special appreciation for 70's music because everyone told us to NEVER listen to it. And then we did...

[@minervagarza95]

I've been requesting this song forever, he just doesn't want to do it...lol

[@colibri1]

This was such a huge hit that year. For some reason, this song always makes me think of those back-to-the-land communes of the late sixties and seventies where people would garden and do chores completely naked to be more real and natural.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Jeez...this song was everywhere when I was a kid and I was infatuated with the harmonies. I don't think I was paying attention to the looks being shot my way as I sang this at the top of my lungs. 😂 Of course I was the same idiot singing Devo songs in front of my parents with no clue whatsoever.."we shove the poles in the holes!" 😳😰😁😁

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Yes, yes! Me too!!!

[@dipsydoodle7988]

@@kimberlinibambini1988 the innocence of childhood..can't have that anymore these days. Lyrics no longer contain metaphors and poetry. I had a whole scenario in my head with this song and it basically looked like a picnic in the park on the 4th of July. 😂😂

[@princessfiona9279]

Me too!! I was five years old walking around with my little record player playing the 45 constantly. Thought it was hysterical when I was old enough to know what "Afternoon Delight" meant, lol. My favorites in the 80's (when I was a teenager) to belt out were Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Relax (Don't Do It)" and Cyndi Lauper's "She Bop", so there you go. :)

[@magovenor]

knotaneedey you’re funny

[@ritamcbee]

I knew what the song was about, so before it started I was already laughing! I was really looking forward to the reaction when the lyrics kicked in 😂😂😂

[@keithdittmar1701]

I got a kick out of watching him get flustered in this video. This song was all over the radio for a long time. I was in high school and remember girls singing along but not knowing what the song was about. I just sang along with them.

[@sabercastpodcast457]

Man this song is why I adore 70’s music. You should look up the scene from the movie anchorman where they sing this a capella. Surprisingly very good. Keep up the great work!

[@byronmitchell3784]

You know I have visions of going thru my Moms. .45's records. JAYVEE you got the meaning of this song... ✌

[@stephanieyee9784]

And this was such a seemingly innocuous song to those of us who were young teenagers. A lovely upbeat about sex without being smutty, crude or disrespectful. And fun!

[@Laura-rm6us]

My boat is named “Afternoon Delight” 😂

[@barabas688]

LoL. Mine is named "Ship Faced" 😊

[@midnightfury7267]

Bill and Taffy collaborated with John Denver on "Take Me Home Country Roads" and sang backup for him before forming Starland Vocal Band and signing with Denver's Windsong label. And the rest is one hit wonder history.

[@bethshadid2087]

Love that song 💗

[@bearballin]

That explains why I've always felt this song was in the style of a John Denver song, the guitars, the upbeat tempo "sing-along".

[@EdMan57]

Was not the backup band on that album named "Fat City"?

[@midnightfury7267]

@@EdMan57 Yes , yes it was, that is what they were billed as of which said singers were members of. Wow lots of talent going around back in the day.

[@FunkyMonk4Life]

I can remember laying in the back window of my mom's land yacht listening to this song on the way home from the Mall. Must habe been 1976. It's a very clear memory of a singular moment. I had no idea what the innuendo was of course.

[@bethshadid2087]

We were so innocent back then 🤭

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

Lol I just wrote the same thing, had no idea as a kid hehehe

[@allisonyoung4007]

Cool~ and our moms just sang along~😜

[@back2black717]

I was even more innocent and thought it was about an icecream sundae or something. Very young and clearly put any of the lyrics together! But I sang it to the top of my lungs!!! HAHAHAHA!

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Hey.. ice cream was an afternoon delight for you! 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@bethshadid2087]

Ikr. Sung it too not knowing what it was about 🤯

[@princessfiona9279]

You're not alone! I also thought this song was about ice cream. Actually, it was more like sherbet for me: lime, orange and raspberry. I plead being five years old at the time. :)

[@shelter9236]

LOL, yeah, suggestive lyrics, this was racy back in the day tho, haha.

[@andyleclerc3600]

Oh, thank God. I was going on 6 when this came out, and I thought it was about food, too...now I know otherwise😅

[@dgator3599]

I remember in the 6th grade hearing it on the radio (and it was played constantly). One day I was singing it while down in my dad's workroom; he was there, and he turned to me and said, "What kind of song are you singing?" and my reply to him was, "Oh, it's about eating lunch." LOL!! I had no idea what that song was about!! He just shook his head and kept working.

[@skyblue9515]

That is so funny!

[@carlaharrington5120]

I had a similar experience with my dad only over the song "Lola" by The Kinks! He lost it when he walked into my room just in time to catch me singing at the top of my lungs "well I'm not dumb but I can't understand why she walks like a woman but talks like a man"!

[@brigitter1469]

hahahaha!! I was totally clueless and about 6th grade also hahaha

[@lizmagu3189]

Hysterical.. 🤣🤣

[@elizabethlatorre5360]

That was great!

[@shelter9236]

I was waiting to see the reaction on your face, haha...roll in the sack in the afternoon...of course if you were young back then you were clueless but yeah, I start laughing when I hear this song anymore. LOL!!! I'm really don't understand how they didn't burst out laughing when they were trying to sing this, especially the skyrockets part. LOL!!!!

[@Renkk17]

My favorite part of the song was - Sky Rockets in Flight, Afternoon Delight!

[@RenR70]

I can't hear this song anymore without thinking of the movie Ron Burgundy.

[@DavidB-2268]

Bill Danoff (Taller w/glasses) and his wife Taffy Nivert (who he was paired with) co-wrote Take Me Home, Country Roads which was a massive hit for John Denver.

[@toomanykats1]

i saw them the first time they performed at a john denver concert.

[@musicsansnotes]

Interesting info.

[@HelenBeeee]

HeeHeeeHee those fireworks!!!! but lets face it the vocal harmonies were outstanding really showing the human voice as an instrument those harmonies were complex.

[@yvonnejaime1266]

Once you hear this beautiful song, you feel like your in a much better mood. Also you catch yourself singing it for the next few days. Love it!

[@robbiem9293]

Heard this song for years and I never knew what they looked like! Think I would’ve been alright without ever seeing this video🤭

[@mulatanyc865]

OMG! I haven’t hear this song since the 7Os. This is one of my favorite song during that era. Like your reaction. Thanks you for sharing n bringing back memories of my younger years. Keep up the good work.

[@erykaton170]

You crack me up man. Used to sing this song in the car with my mom. Had no idea what it was about, of course. I think she asked me one time what I thought it meant and I said dessert!

[@amyferguson7429]

Lol. I am laughing with Jovaughn!! ☮️

[@rmf9522]

My mom would turn off the radio when this song came on. 😂 She didn't want our young ears to hear that. LOL!

I love this one hit wonder. Memories of my youth.

[@beckyatwood4901]

We sang this song at the top of our lungs when we were kids, not having a clue what it was really about lol

[@juliebowness3299]

1976 is one of my favourite years for music, so many happy memories, although this is not one of my favourites from that year, it does show how diverse the music got that year. Another diverse and one of the best songs from 76 is Oh Lori by Alessi, also a one hit wonder.

[@lorettarowell8486]

man i miss this time in music.... there will never be another time in history with such great music like there was in the 70s .... just build a time machine and let me off there :)

[@jeannettestogner5164]

I always loved this song! I was a little surprised that it slipped by the censors and got so much airplay, but I'm glad it did! It's always been like a breath of fresh air to me, and the harmonies are really intricate, though they sound deceptively simple. Great reaction!!

[@trvlaqwst7570]

As a kid I loved the harmonies, so I would loudly sing along 😂😂 who knew...I didn't!! till I heard it again recently 😳

[@christinahilt2978]

Seeing the fireworks in the video reminded me of this TV show from the 1970's, "Love American Style." I'm glad you picked up on the connotation.

[@missgmoma]

Amazing they were able to slip this past the censorship. They sang really good together 👍🏻

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Yeeesss!✨

[@missgmoma]

Kimberlini Bambini I guess the watch dogs didn’t get it. I remember at school dances the teachers were so out of it we played ‘so horny’ & ‘push it’ even played ‘back that ass up’ & they never caught on. Lol!

[@shelleybleu4903]

No censorship in 1975. Before the evangelicals went crazy in the 1980s.

[@missgmoma]

Really Smart no, they didn’t know what was happening. Most were substitutes or chaperones that were so old they didn’t know where they were much less what songs were playing. I’ll bet they can’t pull that off today 🤣😂🤣

[@missgmoma]

Really Smart 😜

Have to admit ..... That song has always been a secret pleasure of mine since I was a kid since it came out in the 70's .... Really great to hear it again, love the vocals on it. Thank you ! 😉👍

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Sooo ready! Loved this song as a kid and still do- as a little girl, I’d reach for the knob to turn it up when it came on- I was really young, so mostly just loved the instruments and beat- now...as I got a bit older, I most certainly loved it more!😬😃. and yes J- that’s exactly what it’s about- 💛❤️✌️✨

Wow, don't know where to start for this song. 1976, I was 13 years old, and I remember this soooo much. I loved it. I was so innocent, LOL, I don't think I knew what they were talking about but I loved the song anyways. I loved the harmonies, the feel, the delight word, it just seemed like a nice peaceful beautiful song. Its so funny, but really brought back memories of the summer of '76.

[@jamesvermilya9305]

I was a young teenager when this song was a hit, and amongst my male peers, it was definitely uncool! But who with all honesty could resist the pretty melodies and fabulous harmonizing? (Plus, it has a 12 string acoustic and a steel guitar in it!) I think we all secretly liked it! Finally, one afternoon when my friends and I were hanging out at Council Crest with a radio one of us said something like "That's a stupid song but those harmonies are sure good!" We all nodded and grunted self consciously in agreement. This little chunk of ear candy has stood the test of time and is for many the very definition of a guilty pleasure. Thank you for the forum Jayvee!
