Title: Tacky lyrics with incongruous easy-listening instrumentals, sugary harmonies
Review: "Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band was the first song I thought of in response to the question "what would you think would be the WORST make-out song of all time?" as asked in a customer discussion forum, here at Amazon ("Pop Community").Moreover, that song is not merely a bad choice for make-out music, it is a bad choice for any purpose except parody. Tacky lyrics, on the same level as jokes by sniggering 6th graders, were combined with incongruous easy-listening instrumentals and overly-sugary harmonies. Embellished with instrumental sound effects of rockets shooting up.The 4-part harmony would have been OK if combined with better songs. It's possible that this band later produced better material, but after hearing "Afternoon Delight" played way too many times, I avoided anything from this band, and thus cannot comment on the other tracks of this compilation album.
Is the review positive or negative?
