This is a fairly long but surprisingly interesting article about that song we love to hate, "Afternoon Delight" and why it endures. If you follow music construction, this article explains a number of features to the song and its creation that are rather sophisticated. I believe these features are what makes the song endure; the average listener would not know what he is hearing and why it works, but it explains why this one was so big while there are countless novelty songs that are musically simple and forgettable.

It's also interesting to read about all that goes into a song and that it's not just a simple coffee-house folk song.

I also didn't know before that these guys wrote Denver's big hit "Country Roads".

I honestly do not remember ever hearing that song before now. I hope to soon return to that state.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

What happens if I take both?

I will read the article before final judgement, but I am pretty sure if you were able to get a song called "big banana in my pocket" on air it would endure as well. But maybe it is the music...maybe.

Well I must have a door
In the back of my head.
Where I dump out all the crap
So I can just feel solid again.
No more sittin' around
Thinkin' about your hair,
'Cause I must have a door
In the back of my, back of my head.
Yeah.

I got a beautiful
New Asian girlfriend.
She comes over and hangs
Around for days in my bed.
You can't seriously believe
I'm thinking about you man.
'Cause I must have a door
In the back of my, back of my head.

Well it's a brand new day
And I'm walking around old town.
I feel cool as shit cause
I got no thoughts keeping me down.
I'm thinking blah de blah blah blah
To your trip.
'Cause I must have a door
In the back of my, back of my head.
Yeah.

Back of my head,
Yeah I must have a door there.
