Skyrockets in flight

Heard a song on the radio that brought a smile to my lips this afternoon.

I never expected to hear the Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight" on the radio. It's a really nice song, has a catchy melody, and is a simple and perfect kara-oke duet with that special someone (and you should refrain from duet-ing this song with a blood relative).

But hearing it on Malaysian radio? This cultural backwater with the retarded censorship board that:
-bleeped every swear word in Al Pacino's Donnie Brasco and nearly spoiled the movie for me
-banned Daredevil from the theatres because of the word 'Devil' in the title
-changed the title of Hellboy to the gawd-awful-sounding Super Sapiens
-banned all movies with a homosexual theme, such as Robin Williams' The Birdcage
-snipped off some good scenes of Cecilia Cheung in The Promise

It's just funny to hear this pornographic song playing in the airwaves. This is the first time I've heard it on radio. Were they thinking that the song was about an ice-cream??

Read the lyrics!

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 you know the night is always gonna be there any way.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
looking forward to a little afternoon delight.
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting.

Sky rockets in flight. 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 rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Please be waiting for me baby when I come around.
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Repeat chorus.
