Afternoon delight - Starland Vocal Band (1976)

...and I thought this song was about enjoying an ice-cream on a sunny afternoon on your way to the shops! But what was that about 'sky-rockets in flight, afternoon delight'? Maybe it was one of those weird lolly flavours that screwed your mouth when you bit into it...or something...no? OK, I didn't think about it too much, except that every time it came on the radio it gave me a strange sensation of pleasure. Oh it doesn't matter! Just loved those girly vocals and rocket sounds disappearing into the nether. How sad it is to grow up, and I wasn't even that young back in 1976. The vocals are very ABBAish, even the video showing the girl profiles.
