Coffee Croons & Tea Tunes

I had this blogpost bookmarked (found via Cafe Metaphoric) where I found some cool coffee songs to add to my ever-growing coffee/tea music collection, but now I find that the links to the mp3's are gone!  Well, it's a great coffee post, anyway, lots and lots of well-written coffee info, worth a read.  There's quite a good list of coffee songs there, but the comments here include a some more coffee songs, some of which I've never heard.  Or heard of.  I guess I need to expand my musical horizons.  Thanks to these posts and Kat's coffee and tea posts, etc, I'm getting quite a nice collection.

But, as you'll see, there are still some holes in my database.  Missing album titles, etc.  And I was surprised to realize how few tea tunes I have!  Must work on that.  Of course, this will be an ever-growing list.  If you know of a song about tea or coffee that's not on this list, please post in the comments.  I'll include mp3's when I have them, for a limited time.  And I guess I better borrow this blurb from Locust St., just to cover my butt, which I'm somewhat fond of and would rather not lose:

All songs are posted for a very limited time and are imported at a low bit rate level. They are meant to encourage purchase of the original albums. Please do not direct link to them. If you are the copyright holder of a posted song and do not want the song posted, by all means contact me and I will remove the song.

oops, the Andrews Sisters' song is already listed. I forgot Doris Day-Tea for Two; Chris Rice-Smelling Coffee; Savage Garden-Two Beds and a Coffee Machine; There's always I'm a Little teapot!

[Christine]

Most excellent! I was hoping you'd help me fill out the list, Kat. You're a gem. Now, I need to find mp3's and album names for all those. [smiling hopefully at Kat] I'd be willing to trade ya. I don't know what I have that you might like, but there must be something. How about this old stuffed dog-toy? A lifetime supply of dust-bunnies?

[Patty]

"One More Cup of Coffee" by Bob Dylan, from the album Desire. :-)

[Kat]

They're coming!

[Jason]

So great! thanks a heap.

[Gen]

I LOVE this site! Here's one I don't see on the list:
"How Bad's the Coffee" John Hiatt & the Goners from 'Beneath This Gruff Exterior' New west records 2003.
Hope you like it too.

[Mena]

Afternoons and Coffeespoons by the band that did that song mmm mmm mmm . Sorry I can't remember their name!

[Steve]

One more:

The Coffee Song - B. Hilliard and D. Miles - Performed by Frank Sinatra on his album Ring-a-Ding Ding

[Win]

Long shot, but can anyone help me out? I've been searching for this song for years - all I know is that in the chorus is something about sitting by the fire and the line "a cup of Christmas tea."

[Shane]

Christmas Tea was written by that late-night talk show host Delilah. Ewww.

[Donna]

Hi you have some great coffee tunes accumulated here-bravo! I put a link up to your site on mine. Have a great day! Donna

[Jaq]

Cowboy Junkies - Cold Tea Blues from the album Pale Sun, Crescent Moon

[Ingrid Naumann]

Try this one: "Ojala que llueva cafe en el campo" by Juan Luis Guerra (Translates to "I pray that it rains coffee in the country.") A very fun song we used to sing in high school spanish class.

[Dorinda Read]

I could have written the same e-mail as Steve-June 27,2006. Anyone know how I can get a copy of that song that Delilah wrote?

[Chris]

Also, Tea and Corpses, written by Neil Gaiman, sung by the Flash Girls.

[portal]

Great job!
In Romania the tea is becoming a show for very rich people.
The books are very interesting but I can't touch them.It would be interesting if you could post this books on a share file.
By the way some interesting chinese or japanese music for tea ceremony?!
Merry Christmas!

[Otter]

One to add to your list would be the Cranberries "Wake up and smell the coffee "from the album of the same name. It's actually political but does reference coffee.

[Rye]

A few others would be "Coffee Mug" & " Coffee & Cigarettes" both by Lagwagon and "Mr. Coffee" by Decendants.

[Bulldog]

I have been looking for a song about coffee for some time. I think it was in a car commercial once. It's a rap song about coffee. The guy gets up in the morning and "gets a cuppa coffee" then stops on the way to work and "gets a cuppa coffee". Then get to work and goes in the break room and "gets a cuppa coffee". Has another at noon. Another at break time. He's always talking about "gets a cuppa coffee".

Anyone have a clue what the name of this song is and who the artist is?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

[Tess]

'ello! I found this entry while searching the Web for "coffee songs", so thanks! :) I'm compiling my own coffee playlist (tea & chocolate are welcome too, of course! I luvvvv all three.) May I suggest a few that aren't in your list?

1) Té para tres ("Tea for three"), by Argentine band Soda Stereo. I don't know if you understand Spanish, but this song is a classic in Latin American rock. The guitar sound is out of this world :)
2) Tea in the Sahara, by The Police.
3) Cup of coffee, by Garbage.

And a big THANK YOU goes for the girl who mentioned the song by The Flash Girls. I love Neil Gaiman, but wasn't aware of this song. Now, if only I could find it...

[Leslie]

We have just opened a coffee and tea store online. I love the songs that I have found here.We are looking for someone to put together a "commercial" that we can post on YouYube and My Space. Would love to hear from anyone who has any ideas. Our budget is VERY limited. Our site is: www.theultimatecoffeebreak.com

[Alberta]

My favorite - Ray Materick's Put the Coffee On Linda

[Janice Graves]

I am looking for a song that I heard on the radio recently.

Each verse ends with sitting by the fireside and telling stories about the Christ Child and drinking a cup of Christmas tea. Does anyone know this song or how I can get a copy? Janice Graves dk

[L T]

Also check out Coffee Flavored Kisses by Saffire (The Uppity Blues Women); Too Much Coffee by Toni ? ; and search itunes for one called Cuppa Joe; and do you have Java Jive by the Inkspots listed?

[L T]

Or, better yet, Bach's Coffee Cantata, on of his few secular pieces, written to encourage his daughter to kick the coffee habit.

[Andriana]

I have a great new single for coffee lovers called "Coffee Dream." You can see the music video at http://www.youtube.com/1Andriana
