Frequent readers may remember my stupid plan to make a CD of music about coffee. One of the comments suggested a few more that I didn't have, and although I don't remember using this list to add more songs to the mix, about 1/2 of these ended up on the CD:

I am just finishing up a CD of coffee songs I am compiling for the people I work with (I work in a coffee shop, heh). I opted for Ella Fitzgerald's version of Black Coffee, and the Ink Spots on Java Jive, but have some of the same ones you do. I notice this post is about a year old, and I use Napster, not Rhapsody, but how about these:

  • Coffee Song - Adam Hood
  • Coffee Man - Calvin Owens
  • Cowboy Coffee - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
  • Don't Forget The Coffee Billy Joe - Tom T. Hall
  • Cigarettes and Coffee - Otis Redding
  • What I Want is a Proper Cup of Coffee - Trout Fishing in America

Yes, you heard correct, on the CD. I officially purchased my CD and it's in the car now. What made the cut?

Track  Artist
 Good Coffee Blues  J.T. "Funny Paper" Smith
 Black Coffee  Peggy Lee
 Cigarettes And Coffee  Otis Redding
 Black Coffee Inn Bed  Squeeze
 Coffee In A Cardboard Cup  Mandy Patinkin
 Pot Of Coffee  Frankie Paul
 Tom's Diner (A Capella)  Suzanne Vega
 Let's Have Another Cup Of Coffee  Glenn Miller
 Coffee  Dave Miller
 The Coffee Song - (previously unreleased, alternate take)  Frank Sinatra
 Java Jive  Manhattan Transfer
 Jumpin' East Of Java  The Brian Setzer Orchestra
 Proper Cup Of Coffee  The Andrews Sisters
 Starfish & Coffee  Prince
 Coffee Song  Adam Hood
 Coffee Monkey  Bottle Rockets
 Cowboy Coffee  Horse Crazy
 Too Much Coffee  Toni Price
 One Cup Of Coffee  Spider Nick & The Maddogs

All of these are available on Rhapsody as a playlist. The list ended up having a lot more "country" than I would have expected, but all in all I like what this ended up becoming. Next up: find around 20 tracks about video games...

Tom's Diner (A Capella) - why didn't you go for the DNA remix? Vega herself likes this version better...

Anyway, for video games - check out Beck's "Gameboy Variations".
