Afternoon Delight: The 20 Best Songs For Mid-Day Lovemaking
by Scott Alden on April 05, 2020Afternoon sex is not the same as night-time sex, so why would you cue up the same booty-time playlist for both? For making love in the afternoon you want to go heavy on the dreamy with a pinch of raw, wild rhythms (No matter what you said, you guys aren’t taking a “nap”). Leave the Teddy P and Jodeci for the midnight hour– afternoon love making calls for a different kind of smooth.
Note: Avoid “Afternoon Delight” by The Starland Vocal Band at all costs. You can’t make love in the afternoon to a song about making love in the afternoon. It’s goofy. (Yeah, that throws out “Cecilia,” too.)
Here are our picks:
1. The Velvet Underground- Sunday Morning
2. Luna- Bewitched
3. Vetiver- Roll on Babe
4. Yo La Tengo- Our Way To Fall
5. Hall and Oates- Sarah Smile
6. Ambrosia- How Much I Feel
7. Pinback- Non-Photo Blue
8. Neil Young- Cowgirl in the Sand
9. Nick Drake- Cello Song
10. America- Ventura Highway
11. The Sea and Cake- Sporting Life
12. Bjork- Hyperballad
13. Aphex Twin- 4
14. Miles Davis- The Pan Piper
15. The Flamingos- I Only Have Eyes For You
16. Van Morrison- Sweet Thing
17. Gerry Rafferty- Right Down the Line
18. The Pretenders- Brass in Pocket
19. ELO- Evil Woman
20. Led Zeppelin- Immigrant’s Song
