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.

    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."

    Ha ha ha, you guys are so sweet, I am still cracking up. Yes, you are right Amber that is what the song means. It's funny you think that back in the 70's, people would have been shocked by this song, but they were not. I think it's harmonies are so incredibly beautiful and sweet, it makes the song have a pure and dreamy sound. A lot of parents have their own "little afternoon delights" walking around today because of this song. :) Love you guys have a great day.

    You really need to catch the episode of Arrested Development where Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman), grabs his niece, Maeby, and jumps on stage to duet on this song in order to enliven the family company's holiday party - the look on his face when he realizes what the song is about, and that he's singing it to his niece, is priceless comedy gold! My sides hurt just thinking about it! 🤣

      It also pops up memorably (and humorously) during "Good Will Hunting," and later plays over the closing scene. It's hard for me to hear it without thinking of this and the Arrested Development scenes (not just Michael and Maeby singing it, but later Lindsay and George Michael, to similar effect).

    Not sure if anyone noticed, but SVB's album "Rear View Mirror" features Leland Sklar on bass guitar and Russ Kunkel on drums throughout the whole album. Russ is Margot Chapman's cousin. I didn't know this until I was told by SVB's YT channel. Pretty darn cool!

After years of writing and singing, they started the Starland Vocal Band in 1976 with another couple, and had this hit titled, "Afternoon Delight".
