What comes to your mind on reading the title & listening to the track?
@Sheryld,
The main thing that comes into my mind is that this is a track I don't want to listen to, not with a pretentious title like that.
@izzythepush,
😂 alright. It's instrumental though
@Sheryld,
Are you connected to the band in some way?
My immediate thought was of a couple holding hands at a fireworks display. I next thought of a dreadful 1980s hit called "Afternoon Delight" in which the pleasures of (I think) sexual intercourse are compared to "skyrockets in flight".
@izzythepush,
Nope Izzy. Just someone I like, has this as a poster on his wall
@Sheryld,
the cover of a 1970's romance novel

The end of the movie Fight Club.

It's even worse than I remembered...
Quote: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 there any way
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
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…
That song "Afternoon Delight" was by a group calling themselves the Starland Vocal Band. There was a summer replacement program on television which featured them, and the host? David Letterman . . . looking very green and very raw. I have always found it hard to think of him as the "king" of late night television when I remember that program.

I see I got the decade wrong - the song was recorded in November 1975 and released in April 1976. Maybe the 70s were another decade that if you remember, you weren't there.
@InfraBlue,
really?
that's much schmaltzier than I'd have expected
even more so than a romance novel
@ehBeth,
Heh, most of their music is like that, big, sweeping melodramatic numbers. I like shmaltzy sometimes.
Stumble It!
