  • "Afternoon Delight" é uma canção gravada pela Starland Vocal Band. Foi escrito por Bill Danoff, um dos membros da banda. O título da música, que traduzido para o português é Tarde de Prazer, surgiu no restaurante Clyde's de Georgetown, Washington D.C., onde Bill Danoff estava comendo com sua companheira, Margot Chapman. Em 10 de julho de 1976 a música chegou ao primeiro lugar na Hot 100 americana. A música também alcançou a primeira colocação no Canadá, chegou ao quinto lugar na Nova Zelândia, foi o sexto hit mais trocado na Austrália e no Reino Unido chegou a décima oitava posição.
  • "Afternoon Delight" is een in 1975 door geschreven popsong, uitgevoerd door de Starland Vocal Band en uitgebracht in 1976. De titel was, behalve een seksueel getinte toespeling, eveneens een verwijzing naar een toenmalig gerecht op de menukaart van een restaurant in Georgetown (nabij Washington DC). Het nummer is de enige hit van de groep (in Nederland) gebleven, zodat het daarmee een eendagsvlieg is.
