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.

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.

Christmas Tea was written by that late-night talk show host Delilah. Ewww.
Posted by: Shane | September 18, 2006 at 10:13 PM
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."

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?
