Did others you talked to share this interpretation?

Charley, I don't recall very well. I remember I was fairly new to Washington at the time and Clydes was a cool place to hang out. The first time I went there was with some folks from the office and I remember that group of maybe ten talking about how the song really came about and all being surprised. Other than that, I don't recall any conversations about it. It just seemed like something that everybody just "knew."



<< This is the original. Opened in 1963 in Washington's most fashionable neighborhood, Clyde's was an immediate sensation.
The concept was simple and sound - good food, good camaraderie and real value. It soon drew a crowd from all walks of life and Clyde's grew to become a local legend. The 1976 hit "Afternoon Delight" was inspired by our late-afternoon appetizer menu and the gold record still hangs here in the restaurant.
With its long oak bar, plank flooring, original oil paintings and theme rooms like the popular Back Bar with its vintage railroad posters, Clyde's of Georgetown defined the tasteful style that is Clyde's unique signature. >>

How common was it to think it was about sex?

At 15 or 16, you can take out the "it was" part.

Then you have, "How common was it to think about sex?"

And the answer is, that's ALL we (they) thought about at 15 or 16.

(On reflection, some of us haven't changed a whole lot from 15 or 16).

(On further reflection, some of us think that's just dandy).
