Afternoon Delight
May 27, 2024
This month I’m focusing on One Hit Wonders of the 70s.
Today our song is: Afternoon Delight
Wikipedia tells us this about the song:
"Afternoon Delight" is a song recorded by Starland Vocal Band. It was written by band member Bill Danoff. In the US, it became a #1 single on July 10, 1976, and earned a gold record.
The title came from the happy hour menu at Clyde's restaurant in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., where Bill Danoff was eating with fellow bandmember Margot Chapman, while his then-wife Taffy Danoff was undergoing surgery for cervical cancer. Danoff downplayed the lyrics: "I didn't want to write an all-out sex song ... I just wanted to write something that was fun and hinted at sex."
Enjoy!
They were quite the thing when this song came out, with a summer replacement series and everything. A year later, both couples had broken up and we heard nothing more from them...
ReplyDeleteThis is a great song, sexy but tasteful and fun
