Afternoon Delight by Starland Vocal Band is featured in Sexy, the fifteenth episode of Season Two. It is sung by Carl and the Celibacy Club. 

Emma initially believes that the song is about a dessert, but Holly sets her straight, telling her that it's about rolling in the hay in the afternoon instead of waiting until the middle of a cold dark night. Emma is upset upon discovering this and denies it while ordering Rachel to look up the dessert to prove Holly wrong. Puck plays the guitar and Carl is on drums during the musical number. After the performance it is given an uneasy applause from everyone except for Brittany, who gives them a standing ovation.

Lyrics[]

Carl:
Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight

Puck:
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night

Rachel with the Celibacy Club:
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be here any way

Emma with Quinn:
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight

Quinn with Emma:
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting

Carl and The Celibacy Club:
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Aaaa-a-a-afternoon delight
Aaaa-a-a-afternoon delight

Emma:
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always thought a fish could not be caught who didn't bite

Carl:
But you've got some bait a waitin', and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight

Carl and The Celibacy Club:
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Aaaa-a-a-afternoon delight
Aaaa-a-a-afternoon delight

Puck with the Celibacy Club:
Be waiting for me baby when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down

Rachel with The Celibacy Club:
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight

Quinn with The Celibacy Club:
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting

Carl and The Celibacy Club:
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Aaaa-a-a-afternoon delight
Aaaa-a-a-afternoon delight
Aaaaaaaa-aaa-aaaa-afternoon delight
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-afternoon delight
