  • "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. (nl)
