The song I'm referring to is "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band. I think they were a one-hit wonder, and don't think that they had any other hit songs after this one hit the charts sometime in 1970's (can't remember the exact year). I thought it was a cute, innocent song, until I got older and REALLY started listening to the words. When I realized what they were singing about, I was like, "Woah!" This song has sex written alllll over it.

I remember that schitt, though I was watching on Much Music

ehuffnsd said:

yeah,but wasn't that when David Lee Roth had the video for "Jump"? My friend got banned from MTV after her Mom walked in on here watching that one.

or was it Hot For Teacher. I don't know,but after that if she wanted to watch Thriller she had to watch it at my house.

did ya'll know the starland vocal band had a fucking variety show? I swear they did....the 70's were straaaaange man but I dug it not them but the 70's...

I can't say I blame parents like that. I think MTV would have been a nightmare if you had children to raise back then.

when i was little i didn't know how raunchy ONJ's Physical was than i heard the Kylie version and i was floored

WHAT?! Surely you jest.

the song came out in 81 i was born in 81

As I recall they didn't stop playing it in 1981 . . . all I'm sayin.'
So you heard Kylie's first and then found out it was a cover?

Yeah,it's funny how when you're a kid,you can hear a song and not realize that it's about sex.In the summer of '81,I loved Grace Jones' song "Pull Up To The Bumper".I thought it was a fun song about cruising around,checking out the nightlife,driving down the LA streets.Years later,I discovered that Grace had other thoughts on her mind (lol)....

"pull up to my bumper,baby
in your long black limousine
pull up to my bumper,baby
drive it in between"

I remember hearing this song when I was about seven and thinking the same thing Soul, lol! Thanks to hip hop being so popular when I was a teen in the 90's it made me pay attention to the lyrics more, so when I was about 15 I heard this Grace song again and was like, SHE'S A FREAK" lol! The song writers were very clever

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight

Afternoon Delight Lyrics

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right'
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting

Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always thought a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight

Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin' 'fore the sun goes down

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting

Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Afternoon delight!


As Morris Day once said, "Such nastiness!"

What else would it be about?

I didn't realize either until the song was the center of an episode of Arrested Development. Michael and his niece Maeby performed a karaoke version of the song, but realized too late what the lyrics were about and how awkward it was for a man and his niece to sing it.
