"Afternoon Delight" is a 1976 hit song by the Starland Vocal Band, written by Bill Danoff, featuring close harmony and sexually suggestive lyrics. It became a number-one U.S. Billboard Hot 100 single on July 10, 1976.
Concurrent to the Starland Vocal Band's version, country singer Johnny Carver had a Top 10 version of his own on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.
In the 1990s and 2000s, "Afternoon Delight" was featured in several film and television shows, albeit often in an ironic sense, such as Good Will Hunting, PCU, Boogie Nights, Starsky & Hutch, Arrested Development, The Simpsons, Rules of Engagement, Complete Savages, South Park and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Sleep Easy, Hutch Rimes.
The name for the song comes from the name of a special menu of the same name at Clyde's restaurant in Georgetown.
