Afternoon Delight 

The act of having sex during the afternoon hours of the day as opposed to the far more common nighttime hours.

The term was originally coined in the 1976 hit song "Afternoon Delight" by the Starlight Vocal Band. Due its lighthearted musical style, the song is often misinterpreted as being one about the general fun and innocence of being in love. Only upon close inspection of the lyrics does it become obvious that the song is actually about having sex during the afternoon hours of the day.
I went home to have lunch with my wife, but we ended up having a little afternoon delight instead.

Afternoon Delight
The Starland Vocal Band

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 you know the night is always gonna be there any way.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
looking forward to a little afternoon delight.
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
a little afternoon delight.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Please be waiting for me baby when I come around.
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Repeat chorus.
Ron Burgundy was enjoying an afternoon delight with the lady of the house when Brick sprang up from under their floor panels.

afternoon delight 

Afternoon Delight is quite simply all about daytime love making, the naughty type. It was also the name of a song sung in the 70s by a group called the starland vocal band. Theses words date back to around 130BC in Ancient Egypt, when people along the nile respectively went out in the afternoon to the banks of the nile and made love to their partners. I'm talking about having a bowl of chicken soup with a rubin, then making dirty rubin love. Now days we would see this as a mass orgy, but back then it was quite common. Afternoon Delight coming from the Ancient Egyptian words Aftaron, meaning before night, and delita, meaning sex.
Rubbing sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbing you is getting so exciting. Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.
