"Afternoon Delight" is a song recorded by Starland Vocal Band. It was written by band member Bill Danoff. It has since gained the reputation of "a song known for sexual innuendo", but it was also the "right song at the right time", evoking the bicentennial summer's fireworks displays with the chorus "skyrockets in flight", becoming a No. 1 single on July 10, 1976. It earned a gold record. The song, according to band member Taffy Danoff, made the band a "one hit wonder" and was the main reason they are mentioned with other one hit wonders in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
