The "skyrockets in flight" line was very relevant at the time because it was the #1 hit at the time of our nation's bicentennial on July 4th 1976. I remember fireworks everywhere at the time this song was all over the radio. This song is about a few "fireworks" of it's own.

This was one of those great summer songs of the late 70's. My favorite of this genre was "Moonlight Feels Right" by Starbuck featuring an epic marimba solo by Bo Wagner. A few other light ones were "I Like Dreaming" by Kenny Nolan and "Do You Wanna make Love" by Peter McCann.

Amber is the one who usually doesn't get the sexual innuendo, but most people in the 70's never realized it because the group was so squeaky clean. There is a great Arrested Development episode where the Jason Bateman character joins his niece for a karaoke rendition of this song, neither one realizing the meaning of the song. When they start singing it to each other, they finally turn to the audience only to see them all aghast with shock and horror and Jason realizes finally what they are singing and grabs his niece and they run off the stage. Jason says to her as they flee "Never knew the song was about that."

People in the 70s got it. Maybe you missed it and no one around you would clue you in, but it was understood by most. It certainly helped in acceptance that the band was 2 married couples.

"Afternoon Delight" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 2 weeks in 1976. A true one-hit wonder. However, the group received a Grammy for Best New Artist of 1976 beating Boston, Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band ("Cherchez La Femme"), The Brothers Johnson ("I'll Be Good To You"), and Wild Cherry ("Play That Funky Music "). The record was also Grammy nominated for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, & Pop Vocal -Duo, Group or Chorus and won for Arrangement For Voices (Duo, Group or Chorus).

WOW. I LOVE music trivia. Thank you. 💛

[@jmac3977]

Wow is the right word. Look at who they beat.

[@jmm1817]

I don't know who the heck voted for this hideous song

[@danalyntuthill1538]

They definitely need to react to Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band and Cherchez La Femme. That is so different and great.

And a little more trivia. The song "Take me Home, Country Roads" which was recorded by John Denver was co written by Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert, along with Denver. They also sang backup on the song. These two were actually married, and they went on to form the Starland Vocal Band along with John Carroll and Margot Chapman. ;)

Yes, its totally a mid day rendezvous, what a priceless reveal. Its amazing how talented these vocalists are. This was eons before auto tune.
