Afternoon Delight!

Tweet

When I was the child I heard this song, Skyrockets in Flight, Afternoon Delight! written by Bill Danoff and performed by The Starland Vocal Band. I really liked this song when I was the child. I liked the tune and I liked the thinking about the fireworks and such. However, I had no idea what it was really about. Only when I was grown to beyond the child did I come to know it is not what I thought. Do you have the examples of the songs you heard and thought they meant one thing, or even said one thing, only to make the discover that they meant something else entirely? These are the lyrics of the Song of which I am the speaking: [i]Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight Gonna grab some Afternoon Delight My motto's always been "When it's right, it's right." Why wait until the middle of a cold, dark night? When everything's a little clearer in the light of day? And we know the night is always gonna be here anyway? Thinkin of you's working up my appetite Lookin' forward to a little Afternoon Delight Rubbin' sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting Skyrockets in flight! Afternoon Delight! Afternoon Delight! Afternoon Delight! [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/starland+vocal+band/afternoon+delight_20202371.html ] Started out this morning feeling so polite, I always thought a fish could not be caught that didn't bite. But you got some bait a-waiting and I think I might Like nibblin' a little Afternoon Delight Skyrockets in flight! Afternoon Delight! Afternoon Delight! Afternoon Delight! Be waiting for me, baby, when I come around. We can make a lot of lovin' 'fore the sun goes down Thinkin' of you's workin' up a' appetite Lookin' forward to a little afternoon delight Rubbin' sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting Skyrockets in flight! Afternoon Delight! Afternoon Delight! Afternoon Delight! Afternoon Delight! (A madrigal fugue) Afternoon Delight![/i]
