I absolutely love to see Lex's reaction. She is so sweet and bubbly. Her smile just gives you a light hearted feeling. She genuinely likes these older songs.
Come on yall. Yeah, Brad got it. Throwin’ in a little quickie when the kids ain’t around. Or if no kids then working yourself up for a good one after work. When you just can’t wait for the usual nighttime boogy. You gotta have it in the afternoon.
SANDY!...c'mon now....this is a family channel, young lady.I sometimes have it in the afternoon,,,if I schedule it a few days earlier, so that I can make the necessary preparations, and take the blue pill a precisely the right time, also so that my wife can do whatever she must (?) to make it happen....To be young again Sandy...Used to be a few times a day, then, a few times a week, then, a few times a month....to all you you people laughing...its coming for "Y'all"
For me, this song is the summer of 76. My very own personal “summer of love”. For all of us listening to zep, aerosmith, foghat, skynyrd, etc…. This was really quircky, but in a really good way.
It was peaking on the charts around the time of the US Bicentennial and even mentions "skyrockets in flight" and even has fireworks in the video. It exemplified that era perfectly with it's chill vibe.
@@bloppysloppy4057 Funny I was thinking about the Bicentennial last week. I remember it so well and the big deal that it was, but suddenly now it was so long ago.
@@CardiacCat For me 1976 was the Summer in-between 8th grade graduation and starting high school. I got an AM/FM radio in 76 for my birthday so it was the first year I followed music. So many classics came out around that time. I first started following KISS around this time too. 1976 was when I became a music fan and started buying 45 RPM records. "Beth" by KISS being my first.
I was a little kid when this song came out, I was 5 or 6. I remember hearing this song again when I was in my 30's and I finally, actually listened to the lyrics and I was like wait a minute!!!! The 70's had a gift for making everything seem so wholesome and innocent, but in fact everyone was getting busy...
Bill Danoff, a member of the Starland Vocal Band came up with the title of the song from a happy hour menu at Clyde's restaurant in Georgetown Washington D.C. Bill Danoff said he enjoyed writing the song and downplayed the somewhat controversial lyrics as he didn't want to write an all-out sex song. Bill said he just wanted to write something that was fun and hinted at sex.
My aunt lived in DC for over 40 years and was heavily into the area's folk scene. She was friendly with Tim Hardin and Bill and Taffy Danoff (pre- and post- divorce). Let's just say Taffy got a bit of a reputation as a cougar later on in the '80s.
Thanks for that bit of information. I'm a big John Denver fan and noticed a long time ago that Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert (who called themselves Fat City at the time) did a lot of work with him in his early recordings as writers, co-writers and backing vocals.
When I was a kid, we had an overweight neighbor kid who swore this song was about food. We were just kids, so we believed her. It wasn't until I was much older that I understood that they weren't singing about lunch. Lol 🤣
I was 15 when this song was ubiquitous in 1976. It wasn't the kind of song *any* teenager would have admitted to liking. It's the sort of song that if it came on a TV variety show the family was watching the embarrassed kids would either leave the room or pretend to not know what the song was about. We were good at playing all innocent in front of our parents!
@@DaveWilson831 How do you feel about 'Muskrat Love'? Funny how 'survivor-ship bias' has most of us conveniently forgetting the crap like Afternoon Delight & Muskrat Love. It's the same with every decade of music. Fans of 80's or 90's music never remember those decades' crap music either.
I was 5 when this came out... I remember singing along with it every time it came on the radio.... and I also remember it taking several years before I knew what the song was about.... then thinking, "omg no wonder all the grownups laughed when I'd sing and dance to this!!!!!!!!"
This song was absolutely brutal when I was a kid. It was on AM radio every 10 minutes it seemed. Thank you Anchorman for making this song a thing again.
This got played millions of times in the summer of 1976. I was a kid at the time and liked this song. I remember thinking it sounded so wholesome. I don't even know how I knew that word already but this song was screaming wholesomeness. It was not until years later when I finally figured what the lyrics meant....Not so wholesome!
Margo Chapman actually sent me a message once when I commented on this video. It was a pretty funny interaction between us and I think she is awesome. I proposed marriage, but she's already married to a doctor and living in Arizona. Plus she's 30 years older than me. Can't blame me for trying.
Bill and Taffy, the first couple you see wrote most of John Denver's "Country Roads" in a Georgetown basement apartment in DC, used to see them all the time as a duo called "Fat City"
I was a senior in high school when this song was released. A classmate of mine was a minister in a small church, he said Afternoon Delight was Graham Crackers and a glass of milk,Bahahaha!
On the strength of this song they got a summer replacement show, noteworthy for being David Letterman's first TV gig. They won the Best New Artist Grammy and like so many of the winners of that award were never heard from again.
We recorded 4 more albums, had a hit in 1980 with Loving You With My Eyes, disbanded when divorced, it happens, 9 albums from 1969- 1980 and even some solo albums, it was a fun,good run
I literally LOL'D "ohhkaaay, I don't think it's a feeling, I think it's a quickie " 😂😅. 1974. I was 14 years old and didn't have a clue. You two have quickly become my favorites ❤
Actually this sounds much more like it's a Pedal Steel, but it's running through a phase shifter. For a Lap Steel think David Lindley on Jackson Browne songs like Running On Empty for example. They're both very distinctive and very different from each other. Cheers!
Talk about an overplayed 70s one hit wonder. I was 8 years old and in the third grade. Mom and dad took the family to S. Lake Tahoe for about a week in August. We would either go to Eldorado Beach or the Marina near Ski Run BLVD, and this song was always played on some transistor radio or tape player by all of the sun bathers. Nowadays when I smell coconut oil this song pops into my head.
I simply cannot hear this song without seeing Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman), duetting this tune with his niece Maeby (Alia Shawkat), during a work party, and realizing exactly what the song means as he is singing it. Priceless, classic episode of Arrested Development that should not be missed!
It’s even better later when George Michael and Lindsey sing it together and Tobias announces “that’s my nephew and my wife we have an open relationship.”
I like songs like this. Assuming you like this type of music, you can listen to this without really paying attention to it and it sounds enjoyable. The voices, melody, slow but steady pace...it's a pleasant pop tune.. It sounds innocent until you pay attention to the lyrics. "But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling A little afternoon delight"
It is a lot like the Monkees song Cuddly Toy written by Harry Nilsson, it is about a Hells Angels gangbang but the song sounds sweet plus having Davy Jones sing it makes it sound even more innocent.
songs name was from a local restaurants' menu called "Afternoon Delights" Little known fact is Bill wrote "Country Roads" the song that launched John Denver's career
Yes, a little roll and tumble,..but it's such a sweet delivery of a song, of the meaning,..very sweet, great harmonies, laid back, easy going,..they played this song all the time,..do keep,..going, so glad ya'll were digging it,..the 1970's, amazing decade of music,..Godspeed, Peace ✌

We had a way of singing about Making love that could be Played on the Radio and didn't involve terms like "Bustin a nut" or using Obscene words. Making Love was much deeper back then as well. It involved more heart than it does today.
This is the first song I ever remember hearing. I was not even 3 years old and my family was moving from WV to OH. That was 1976 & I can recall my sister chasing my older brothers because they weren't helping with the packing to move.
Im 57... this was geared towards my parents generation, who were generally very conservative at that time.. These guys were basically saying its ok to have sex in the middle of the day, not just at night lol...
The Danoff's, usually the couple on the right, wrote Country Roads (Take me home, West Virginia) with John Denver. That's a fun background story to Check into. I was fortunate to see them in concert with John back around 1976-77.
I loved this song when it came out, I had no idea what they were singing about, not heard it for years, obviously I was very nieve back then the saucy minxes.
LOL. Oh, Afternoon Delight is definitely a "thing". They wanna make some loving during the day. Sparks igniting, thought of loving you is getting so exciting, why wait until the sun goes down, etc. This was a cleverly naughty song in its day.
This song and I believe summer of 76, boyfriend and me broke up, hearing this at the lake while he's on the other side of the lake with his hit it and quit it. Always makes me think of that day. Funny how that happens.
I listened to this on a 45 over and over in elementary school and middle school (not old enough to truly understand what they were talking about!!! Still have the 45!!!
I do remember this one. The summer of 76, my turning 16, the Bicentennial and all. While it took some a bit to understand it, your average teenager knew, we just knew.
Brad nailed it. This song is about a lunch break quickie. Gettin' some before the sun goes down. And yes it does start off with a country music vibe and because of that this song was a crossover sensation that played on the pop radio stations, country stations, easy listening stations and I think the r&b stations. Also the country music explosion was happening then and it actually started to over throw disco and even after the movie Saturday Night Fever, actor John Travolta made a movie about country western nightclubbing and dancing and America was spending billions on buying cowboy boots and hats and belts and jeans, and country western themed nightclubs were popping up in places like New York and the Hay Fever was on fire.
Both of your opinions on all these songs are interesting I've been watching your videos for hours already, still watching and I can't believe most of these songs are your first time listening to them. It's great I'm only 32 and know alot of music , seeing other peoples reactions is great!
Everytime I hear this song I think of the movie "Anchorman", that whole scene is comedy gold. This is such a catchy song Liked it when I first heard it on the radio back in 1976 [When I was 14 & didn't understand the meaning of the song]
Brad: " Ok, I get it. It's not a feeling, it's a quicky." That was priceless.
LOL. 🤣
👏👏👏 Yep, he finally got it!! lol!!🤣😂
Yes it was, lol. Heard this as a kid.... think they were trying to be like ABBA but not?
😂
EXACTLY.
As a teenager in the 70's...this inspired a lot of "afternoon delights"...trust me on this.
LOL!!!!
Montly....u started young huh!? Lol.....
@@jimflores9098 oh u did too.....lol
There is nothing better than afternoon delight! 😍😁😎
Yep! Except mine (teen years) was 80’s, BUT I was definitely listening to this, Dr. Hook and lots of 70’s too.. Still am!😁
I absolutely love to see Lex's reaction. She is so sweet and bubbly. Her smile just gives you a light hearted feeling. She genuinely likes these older songs.
Nothing like a wholesome “nooner”. 😉
🤣
Best explanation on here...😂😂😂😂
It's some afternoon loving and it doesn't have to be a quickie 😁
Oh no, could make you miss the rest of the work day. Anything worth doing is worth doing right😉
As George Hamilton’s character said on the movie Love at First Bite….”with you (Susan Saint James’ character) never a Quickie, always a Longie.”
Ahhhh you go go go go go go go🤨😏
They even say "We can make a lotta love before the sun goes down", so no... that's not necessarily a "quickie" 🥰😍🤩👹👹
Brad's initial G-rated explanation is the chef's kiss.
It could be like an Australian kiss.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just an amazing masterpiece from the bi centennial year 1976 . Loved listening to this song during the summer when it went #1
Brad I LOVE your retro Van Halen shirt!
I love the way you guys try to figure songs out. This is a very obvious one lol.
Hey, it’s making Love in the Afternoon that’s what it’s all about!
haha..yeah its about a "feeling" alright
Tell brad!
@@sjddds 👋
Watching Brad work it all out in his head is pure entertainment.
Their harmonizing in this song is truly extraordinary.
I was always waiting for the sequel that never came: “For God’s Sake, Shut the Blinds!”
That would’ve been their middle-age hit.
Lol! Come on now! I was about 12 when this song came out, I knew what it meant! You are too funny!
Come on yall. Yeah, Brad got it. Throwin’ in a little quickie when the kids ain’t around. Or if no kids then working yourself up for a good one after work. When you just can’t wait for the usual nighttime boogy. You gotta have it in the afternoon.

Sex, Brad - its sex. Rubbing sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite. Shocked that LEX didn't get that reference
Oh boy ... getting a little afternoon delight with no kids around 😉! Yeah I remember this as preschooler playing in the 70s.

Let's just say the fireworks are there for a reason 😁👍
Afternoon delight. Maybe it's an after school sundae. Nothing gets past Brad!
i love some afternoon delight!
They came up with the name in a restaurant. There was a desert listed as Afternoon Delight.
It turned out to rice pudding with fruit.

Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbing sticks and stones together, make the sparks ignite
And the thought of rubbing you is getting so exciting

Skyrockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Started out this morning feeling so polite

Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert from the Starland Vocal Band co-wrote Take Me Home, Country Roads with John Denver. They also sang backup vocals on it.
Afternoon delight is making love in the afternoon! I was wondering why that thought didn’t put a smile on Brad’s face. He didn’t get it! LOL!
It's about making huggle-bunny burgers ahead of dinner time.
"Sky rockets in flight, Afternoon Delight" - Sounds like one of those sailor's aphorisms

A polite way of saying sex in the daytime. We always called it a "nooner". LOL!
This was featured in the anchorman movie.
They sang the heck out of this one.
That Ron Burgundy has some smooth pipes on him.
I always thought it was an "afternoon ride" they were singing about. ie knocking the loose feathers out of the pillows!
It's a song about a quickie!!! Lol!!! Booty call!! That's what the song is about.
Hilarious rendition of this in the movie Anchorman 2.
