He was digging thru the radio for a station to listen to and they caught the beginning of this song. His mom said leave it in cuz she liked that song. Midway thru the song, he realized what it was about for the first time.
    "Mom, this song's about a nooner!" he said.

    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."

    It’s okay Amber. I was well into my 20s (two decades after this song was released) when I blurted out “I just realized what the song “Afternoon Delight” is about.” For about a year, Starland Vocal Band was hot: hit song, variety show; my guess is the royalties have provided them some income over the last 45 years.

    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.

Although it would be better after seeing the movie, much like Prince's song "Purple Rain", taken out of context of the movie, is not nearly as evocative as it is after seeing the movie. R.I.P.
