  • Yes, summer of '76 They actually got a TV show out of this song!

  • This song is about daytime love making

  • I met this group 1980 they played in Wash DC in a club named Numbers. I was a busboy and got there autographs on a menu. Bring back good memories.

  • why is life so sad.

  • thumbs up for arrested development

  • Good Will Hunting bring me here ^.^

  • Delightful!

  • Well yes, a lot of silly hats in this film clips, and also random shots of location activity and audience. No that guy was not Letterman, but there was a close-up of Bernhard Goetz enjoying the music.

  • Afternoon Delight.....isnt that orange juice?

  • @nealadams70 Have you had a nooner?? lol

  • Where was this filmed?

  • @CMHKD this was filmed outside Angelina Joli's and Brad Pitt's house because those 2 are always thinking about making and having babies. Sincerely, Jennifer Aniston.

  • Any woman that sung this song to me , i would marry them !!!

  • @trickykid73  what if that woman called Ricky Martin sang this song to you. Would you marry her ?

  • People listen to f**in' lyrics. It just horrible.

  • This was the song of the summer of 1976 :-)

  • Fantastic song - not so live as it looks! Great vocals and harmonies. Similar format to Mamas and the Papas - amazing more did not form quartets like this one.

  • @georgebur if I remember correctly, it was david letterman wearing the russian hat.  Still, it was a great song.

  • I remember hearing this on the radio when I was 12 years old , not paying attention to anything but the title words and they way they were sung. I thought, seriously, that it was a commercial for a new soft drink called "Afternoon Delight". It made me thirsty. I wanted to get myself a bottle of that "Afternoon Delight".

    Although the song implies sex, it's really about romantic love. It expresses a refreshingly clean view of sex as an expression of love with the one you love. Sweet song.

  • @videoinformer I remember hearing this as 5 or 6, I was born in 73. I had no idea of the innuendo of this song and did realize until I rediscovered this on utube in 2006. I was like whoa and let my wife listen to it and she laughed hysterically, she had never heard or had any recollection of this song, she was born in 76.

  • @sinusbradycardia I take it from your pen name that you have a slow heart beat, but a normal wave-form -- perhaps a marathon runner. If I used the same system, my name would be "atrialtachycardia". I went a whole year at 140-160 bpm, night and day, before I had it corrected with metoprolol. Fortunately, I didn't have any heart disease and wasn't even bothered by the fast rate. Before the doctors lowered my dosage, my rest rate went as low as 42 (bradycardia), but that didn't bother me either.

  • @videoinformer First and foremost, I'm glad to hear you have no heart disease. Yes, I used to run cross country in high school and I got an early start, I started running and training 6 months ahead of time. By the time I was running in actual events I was 17 and I went to donate blood and I was rejected because my heart was too low and they said I had bradycardia - never had heard of the term. I continued to run until age 22 and my resting heart rate was between 40-45 bpm. C next comment.

  • @sinusbradycardia I went through a scare in 2004, I had an arrhythmia atrial flutter with 2nd degree AV block. It only happened once and for about 3 months after that I did have sinus tachycardia that resolved itself. I have had numerous ECGs, a Stress and Doppler Echo. All was normal. What is strange is that within 24 hours of the arrhythmia I developed hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating of the hands and feet. Doctors don't seem to care or concerned, although it is bummer to live with.

  • @sinusbradycardia That flutter must have been scary just from what it feels like and wondering what might happen in the next second. In contrast to blood vessel blockages, which are easy to envision and understand, electrical blockages and arrhythmias seem mysterious, and often are mysterious even to doctors. My doctors never came up with any reason, and it sounds like neither did yours. In both cases, it may be related to the sympathetic nervous system, leading to hyperhidrosis in your case.

  • @sinusbradycardia Your bradycardia appears to be good thing, related to your athletic conditioning. Lance Armstrong and the second President Bush both have bradycardia from their conditioning. It's odd that phlebotomists don't take this into account and reflexively treat a low heart-rate as an indication of, essentially, feebleness, for want of a better word. Well, I wish you the best in health and life.

  • @videoinformer Thank you. Same to you.

  • @videoinformer One last thing, are you involved in medicine in some capacity? You're very knowledgeable.

    I wanted to go into medicine but I had too many people telling that I didn't have what it takes. I pursued my undergrad and graduate degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of Michigan. Ironically my cardiologist has a BS in ECE from UofM, as well as a PhD in medicine. Her opinion, engineering curriculum was just as tough, but medicine was much more work. Take care.

  • @sinusbradycardia My limited knowledge of medicine is autodidactic. I study according to interest and events, so my knowledge is spotty, but seems more extensive if the subject is something I've studied. You still could study medicine, or even apply ECE in an area of medicine. If you study according to your own interests, you may later find a natural segue into an accredited course or career path. It's helpful to identify weak areas and either strengthen them or isolate and work around them.

  • @sinusbradycardia Being that the subject here is a song, we've spent a good bit on a tangent -- legitimate, but still tangential. If you want to reach me directly for more discussion, you can find me at facebook-com/davidhbraun. May I just push forward on this tangent a little further and refer you to a comment I made on a medical news site. The comment is tangential to our current tangent, and the connection is heart health: medicalnewstoday-com/articles/­233486-php#opinions. (dash=dot)

  • @sinusbradycardia you were boren in '73? then you would've been only 3 years old when this song was a hit

    What innuendo/

    this was a desert on a menu in a reastaurant in seattle ,wa

    ( this explination of the song after noon delight was given by one of the members of starland vocal band on where a re they now? VH1 when it was n=music related)

  • @Freyja1133 So what if I was born in 73. I have a very good memory, not to mention the song was played into the late 70's probably. The 1st sing I remember hearing was More than a Feeling and Keep on Rockin Me baby. My parents, when I lived with them listen to music a lot. I remember living in West Virgina in 75 with my aunt and she confirmed it at my mother's memorial service as she gave me the paper where she had had been give temporary custody of me and my sisters.

  • @Freyja1133 I also remember a hurricane or tropical storm hitting Virgina in the late summer of 78. I was at my grandmothers. The first news worthy event I remember was when Skylab fell back to earth in 79. I remember there was a 2% chance that it would land in the US and it would most likely land in the Indian Ocean. I do believe it burned up.

  • Good ol' "70s fucking music.

  • 11 people didn't get their afternoon delight

  • jesus christ, there are children listening to this...my god what have we wrought!!!

  • love this song !

  • this sucks!!

  • while I miss those songs and those times...after seeing this and remembering those clothes...I'd call it a 60/40 that I'd like to go back...lol

  • @knoppert82

    Me to! I love Good Will Hunting, such a great movie! Definitely my favorite.

  • That white chick is high.

  • the 70's seems like a magical place =)

  • SIMPSONS HOMER GEGEN BÄR, da kenn ich das Lied her, jetzt weiß ichs wieder!

    gutes Lied.

  • I wish I had heard about Margot's performance at the Birchmere a few years ago. Part of some tribute concert. I hope she sings there in the near future.

  • nothing wrong w/ alil afternoon delight!!!

  • Lip sinc obviously. But great tune. Very great tune

  • construction dudes are not even down 1:32

  • I think it was shot in Georgetown. The Band was rooted mostly in DC and in Maryland. Snobs putting the SVB down should note that Taffy and Bill were incredible song writers. Most of John Denver's big hits were co-written (and probably mostly written by Bill and Taffy). Taffy actually had the idea for Country Roads, one of John's biggies. Bill still is a major talent, as a performer and writer. He has never gotten the recognition he deserves. This is a delightful song. Yes, Margot is hot

  • Matt Damon brought me here !

  • AFTERNOON DELIGHT!!!! Anchorman xDDDDDD love it

  • thumbs up if Anchorman brought you here!

  • @MetalcorexIsNotxDead Actually I remember also singing this as a 1st grader , my parents telling me to shutup@ the same time time, but Anchorman helped me remember this song :)

  • funny, just got some afternoon  delight yesterdy. yeah

  • where are the violins?

  • What happened to being subtle and acceptably offensive at the same time? The good old days.

  • Best version of the song ~.^

  • I got to meet Bill Dannoff in Aspen in 2003 and have a few drinks with him. Great fun to talk with. He spoke about hoping he could release the old Summer replacement show the band did in 1976 (which I'd bet this is a clip from) that lasted 6 or 8 weekly episodes and was kind of hosted by David Letterman, who did comedy between the musical segments, then introduced the next act or performance. I haven't noticed if it has been made available yet, but I hope it does, one day.

  • Thumbs-up if you thought that this song was about ice cream.

  • Anchorman thank you.

  • I always loved this song when it first came out and I remember they used to be John Denver's back-up band. Good singers. I always dug the Asian girl and I wondered why this mixed band never went any further. Or did they just go back to singing behind Mr. Denver? Anybody know?

  • @PaddrickFancy "Rubbing Sticks and Stones together"

    Still though .....

    

  • Margot Chapman is so beautiful. If only she were not older than me..eri'd like an afternoon delight with her..=)

  • Margot Chapman is so beautiful. If only she were not older than me..

  • I was 1 yr. old in 76 and I still like this song, I guess it's because my parents played it so much, lol, now I know why :)

  • My favorite song of all time!

  • best decade for pop music was the 70's (I was a teen)

  • Ahh, my childhood. Music was awesome then!!!

  • im in class right now lololol almost lunch XD

  • Ireland had a heat wave in 1976........ This is some beautiful song

  • those were the days :)

  • those were the days :)

  • those were the days :)

  • Lol - Michael signing this ala kareokee with his niece on Arrested Development at the Christmas Party, crack-up!

  • Ahh, the 70's... I wasn't even born yet, but I found this "45" up in the attic. Let's see: It's about getting laid in the afternoon. Nothing wrong with that, but some how they made it sound so wholesome. Like a cross between John Denver and The Carpenters. Fascinating.

  • Anchorman...

  • That harmonizing at 1:00 is actually very beautiful, too bad people treat this song kind of like a joke because the melody is actually really calming!

  • I remember planting trees for a private company in 1976 summertime, in the mountains near Roseburg, Oregon. Well, there were women on the crew that went topless, because the men did it the women figured they could too. Imagine 20's something men and women close to each other, women in their cutoffs topless. OH......MY......GOD. Talk about an Afternoon Delight. My favorite song that year. And I'm a hard core Jimi Hendrix fan. We didn't plant too many trees.

  • @crazyunclerex59 Did you plant any seed?

  • @jta1006 Let's just say no one has come forward to say I have any offspring due to the frolickings we did that summer.

  • remember being 6 yrs old driving thru the backroads to my grandmothers house in the back seat and my mother had that playin.... ahhhh the good old days

  • <3 Anchorman.

  • I'm an eclectic, but I'm partial to 70's pop because I was 15 when this song was released in 1976. I found this album in the cut-out racks in the mid 80's for a couple of bucks. It's a good album.

  • The apex of Top 40 trash in the 1970s. But I'm strangely drawn to it.....

  • @JohnGrant2011

    This song won a grammy award

  • Think i will put it in her brownie!!

  • Yea!! summer 1976 so good!!!

  • This song brings back wonderful memories of youthful Boners.

  • The AM radio experience. Nice.

  • How do I get this garbage off my suggested video block? It stinks up the whole house.

  • Wow..does this bring it all back! Like any other red-blooded American boy, whenever I listened to "Afternoon Delight" when I was growing up, I always fantasized about "living the song" with Margot!

  • Now I need to go home and watch my copy of "Good Will Hunting."

  • Groovy!

  • @camronbond Reuben....YUM!!!!

    

  • I miss the 70's!!

    Dawn

  • Isn't a better name for this group Starbland Vocal Band or Starland Vocal Bland? The latter sounds better than this song. Lawrence Welk would have signed up this act in a heartbeat. Any people out there who think this song is cool - aren't.

  • and david coo leterman comidain too helped out:) food for thought folks:) no ofense to any one onplanet earth nasa space station

  • i bet after this performance they have an afternoon delight ahahah

  • Best song of the 70's?? ........ close

  • @btagg: If so then there went the 70's to the trash heap. Not close by a trillion miles. You must be a mormon or something. Now be true to yourself and listen to some sappy Bobby Sherman songs to round out your miserable life.

  • @pmoyer50 Thats hilarious! I love the responses I get.

  • @btagg: Uh, thank you very much.

  • Classic mid seventies!

  • giggity giggity giggity goo all right! ;D

  • "Sky rockets in light. Afternoon delight..." EPIC!

  • @DanielRinerMusic It's "skyrockets in flight"..... lol but yes, totally EPIC!

  • @DanielRinerMusic sky rockets in flight*

  • Starting at 1:25... Hey Martha, what the hell is all this noise? At 1:35... brother these white honkies sure don't know how to sing, At 1:40... girl in blue to guy in hat, get away from me you creep you will never get an afternoon delight with me, At 1:45... woman with the dark hair, "damn does this music sound great thanks to those joints I smoked before" 1:48... the guy with the glasses looking up in awe at the band thinking to himself, "Son of a bitch, I'm almost 40 and I'm still a virgin."

  • Check out at 0:40... is that a man or a ghost up in the window?

  • gotta love anchorman for bringing me here lol

  • one good thing about this video--NO baseball caps or cells phones :-)

  • Margot Chapman is so damn HOT!

  • 4th of July weekend 1976....sky rockets in flight!!!!!!!!!

  • Is that Georgetown in D.C.? They wrote the song at a restaurant/bar in D.C. and the group started out there.

  • @123home123 I see the canal there.Someone once posted exactly where they were performing in that video.

  • is this hippie music?

  • @swankrecords  No this is mid 70's schmaltzy Pop radio stuff

  • in 1976 it was awsome sex drugs & rock&roll but if your girl wanted this music so be it at least it wasnt disco

  • Are we seriously arguing over taste now? I don't like chocolate. So what? I can say that and why, and I'm not "wrong" for not sharing the common thought that chocolate is delicious. Christ!

  • shee those people on a lunchbreak is that real or what???

  • I guess this was one of the ONE HIT WONDERS Band..

  • i love lamp

  • two of my friends and i sang this for a talent show in 8th grade... we were told it was offensive so we were disqualified :(

  • @BillbroBaggins Awwwww! No fair!!!! Takes alot of talent to hold those harmonies.....nevermind the meaning of the song! LOL! :)

  • How the hell do you people like this song these are people who look like they dont even know what sex is this is the most unsexy and limp beat of a song i ever heared

  • @mjhunt13 a beat isnt the only thing to a song you queer

  • @troutman222 i know but the music is the most imprtant part of the song the lyrics thats a whole nother story these lyrics are so god fulue how do you screw up a sex song this bad

  • It is so funny- they all look like they are dressed for a church retreat yet they are singing about getting laid! I was 5 yrs old in 1976.....I used to sing this song loud and proud-LOL!!!!!

  • @1CurVQT Sweetie, you were not the only one to make that faux pas! I was 13 years, learning to harmonize using this song, singing loud and proud just like you! The bad part.... I did not in any way know I was singing about a nooner! LOL

  • If you dont like this song, i will fight you

  • @Paperclip311 well i hate this song what are you going to do about it

  • This song makes me have to change my pants everytime i hear it :DDDD And its my stoner song xDD

  • People forget back then couldnt say what you wanted to without it getting banned had to make it suggestive lmao everybody got this one back then

  • I wish that chinese bird was rubbing my sky rocket

  • this song is about day time love making...the naughty kind

  • anchorman.

  • Such a polite song about fucking in the afternoon. the way those innocents wenches sing about rubbing and friction is making my invisible dick quite hard.

  • @teamcrumb haha invisible dick

  • @yourracistcousinleo Woh, easy there, that is a little too rough say man, please don't.

  • @yourracistcousinleo Woh, easy there, that is too rough to say man, please don't.

  • @yourracistcousinleo

    White power brotha!

  • These guys look like they need sex explained to them.

  • Then dont listen to it echo, no one is holding you down shoving this into your ears.

    This song won a grammy, can you say you have achieved anything close to that?

    It aint an easy thing to do and an acomplishment millions of musicians would die for.

  • This song made me want to vomit in the late 70's, and it still does! It doesn't get anymore "sickening sweet" than this.

  • @echo962

    What are you doing here listening to this. When I am on youtube I try to listen to all my favorite songs!!!

  • we still get free concerts here. pat benetar, peter frampton, zz top, cheap trick, blue oyster cult, just to name some from this year. Yes, they have the overpriced vendors but you're not forced to buy anything.

  • a band tries this today they'll charge $200 a ticket to stand near the stage, $50 for the wall to lean on across the way, and then have a radius of vendors selling overpriced merchandise and food.

  • @dragonkind6996 Central Park In New York City use to have a lot of free concerts in the 1970s, i wish i was there for this concert...

  • HOW COULD YOU DISLIKE THIS SONG IT IS THE EPIC OF EPICNESS

  • I feel sorry for people without the brain wiring to hear pleasant melodic 70s songs like this. Google major key tonality to get the nuts 'n bolts of civilized happy music.

  • i fucked mad bitches to this...
