Afternoon Delight

Earlier today, as a joke, somebody posted a link to this song.

Afternoon Delight - Starlight Vocal Band

Now, I had heard this song title before, exclusively as a punchline, but this was the first time I listened to the song.
Ok, yes, it's easy listening and is therefore inherently awful. But I can't help but feel like we've sort of lost this innocence and free-spirit feeling over the years. Maybe this is something we need to bring back.

The singers look so happy, and there's no trace of cynicism at all in their faces or their voices. They're just happily making noise together. I like it.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I also like having sex in the afternoon. :)

Ah, yes, it has all the bland innocence of the mid-70s, as did I.

I don't hate the song, but it takes me back to a place I'd really rather not revisit. It has the capacity to make me very very sad.

Sex in the afternoon is a good thing, along with sex in the evening and the middle of the night. Mornings, not so much, but it's been known to happen now and then.

I'm with you on this: it takes me back to a not-so-happy time in my life that i'd rather not think about.

And I also agree about sex in the afternoon, evening, and middle of the night is awesome, and morning sex… not so much.

Oh, sorry to hear that. I think I was 2 when that song came out.
For the record, I like morning sex just fine!
