Inane Pet Project

For a while now I've thought of putting together a playlist and burning a CD of songs related to one of my passions, coffee. So far I have about 1/2 what I need for a full CD. Can anyone think of something (available from Rhapsody) that would fit this list?

 Coffee

  1. "Black Coffee" - Bobby Darin
  2. "Cigarettes And Coffee" - Otis Redding
  3. "Black Coffee Inn Bed" - Squeeze
  4. "Coffee In A Cardboard Cup" - Mandy Patinkin
  5. "Pot Of Coffee" - Frankie Paul/Pinchers
  6. "Tom's Diner (A Capella)" - Suzanne Vega
  7. "Let's Have Another Cup O' Coffee" - Glenn Miller
  8. "The Coffee Song - (previously unreleased, alternate take)" - Frank Sinatra
  9. "Java Jive" - Manhattan Transfer
  10. "Jumpin' East Of Java" - The Brian Setzer Orchestra

And yes, the Rhapsody thing, unfortunately leaves Prince's Starfish and Coffee of the list. (Why Prince, why?!?!?)

How about Coldplay's [i]A Rush of Blood to the Head[/i] or John Lennon's [i]Cold Turkey[/i]? I think Lennon's song was about heroine, but following 10 songs about coffee, you're going to need something to break the caffeine fix.

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 Coffe - Otis Redding + What I Want is a Proper Cup of Coffee - Trout Fishing in America

There are also some great comedy tracks from Denis Leary and others about coffee. You could always do what I did, and just search for java, coffee, and joe--it will bring up pages of great stuff you can sift through.

Have a cup for me!

I guess I'm slow on the personal project tip, but I finally finished picking the songs and [url=http://davidkearns.com/2006/12/19/CoffeeCDProjectDone.aspx]burned a cd[/url].

darn darn darn. Rhapsody playlists are not available outside of the US, so we Canadians can't give a listen.
