I'm not afraid to admit that I love this song a summer of '76 classic!

^^I like peaceful, happy songs like this.

The song was basically about getting a little 'nookie' in the afternoon.

'I think he's workin up an appetie looking forward for to a little afternoon delight'

'Sky rockets in flight afternoon delight....'

'The thought of rubbing you is gettin me so excited..'

The sexual connatation makes me smile as a kid singing along to the words I never knew it was dirty.

I was surprised to find out John Denver co-written this tune.

Ah, a soft rocker dedicated to fucking.

I was under the impression one of their band mates (I think the guy who starts singing the song) wrote it, not John Denver.

John Denver discovered this group and signed them to his record label WindSong Records.

Starland Vocal Band won a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1976, beating nominees like the Brothers Johnson.

They later called getting that award the kiss of death. Surprised Berry Gordy didn't go on the press and say how the Brothers Johnson got robbed.

I remember John Denver's name being attached to this band. Perhaps he helped get them signed. I have to check my facts but I thought I read he co-written that song

Yeah he didn't write it. Member Bill Danoff wrote it.
