Did You Know The Song "Afternoon Delight" Is About Sex?

What they did is take seemingly innocent words and string them together to form alternate meanings. This way they can bypass the censor and write about things that are best left unsaid.

When the song came out, I was a kid and even then I knew what it was about!

Um, obviously, OP. What the fuck else could it have been about??

I always thought the song was creepy, like you could tell the people who sang it were a bunch of weirdos. I think I pictured them as being similar to Abba. Or even more so, like that couple on Saturday Night Live who were always talking about "my lovvaaaah and I were making passionate looooovvvve..." (Rachel Dratch and Will Ferrell, I believe, played them).

Color me shocked.

God I hated that song. Thanks a lot, OP.

Now, now, be nice, everyone.

OP is obviously posting from Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan, where all talk of sex remains censored. Or he's posting via time machine from 1883.

Either way, since English is apparently not his native language, how would he know that an "afternoon delight" (like a "nooner") has been a standard term for daytime sexual activity since about 1815?

I never liked Eggo Waffles or Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats because I somehow knew the singers of Afternoon Delight ate them.

For once I'm curious about what my blocked counterparts have posted.

I think some people think it's not about sex if it doesn't mention at least 2 of the following words - penis, vagina, anus. OP, songwriters have been coming up with metaphors and double entendres to describe sexual acts for ever. The first song sung by a human was probably about sex.

I really and truly hope only smart and intelligent men like r13 are among those engaged to teach us English literature.

Did you know Sheena Easton's 1985 hit, "Sugar Walls" is about pussy?

by Anonymousreply 15July 2, 2018 11:25 AM

r15

It's about her heart. Replace "Sugar Walls" with "Heart" and the song works fine.

Gosh, OP. You're an idiot.

by Anonymousreply 17July 2, 2018 12:11 PM

Well, it does have a sort of dippy-Christian-hippy children’s music sound that might distract from the actual lyrics.

We could also discuss the B-52's Dirty Back Roads

I like the hip-hop remake, "Erryday Assfuck"

OP thinks "Hold On, I'm Coming" is about a St. Bernard in the Swiss Alps.

OP must be young. Songwriters with talent could come up with thousands of ways to discuss sex.

Today's pop just says "Peel back your pussy flaps I'm sticking my dick in there."

Boring.

Actually OP it was about rimming. Rimming in the afternoon. Strange, huh?

by Anonymousreply 23July 6, 2018 3:19 PM

What?! The hell you say!!

Next you’ll tell me “YMCA” isn’t about a gym.

Pfffft. Please.

Who did not know it was about sex? May kids but I am sure adults knew it was referring to what we used to call "a matinee".

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is about Lucille Ball in Mame!
