A Potted History of Coffee

A potted history of coffee Oh, and some music - Dylan, Bach, Inkspots, Lightnin' Hopkins, Peggy Lee, Duke Ellington, White Stripes, etc.
I have a (mini) playlist with coffee related songs, and now I know which ones I'm missing. Awesome!
Oh, one that I definately have that's not on there is "coffee and tv"

Any coffee playlist without the Bottle Rockets' "Coffee Monkey" is sorely lacking. jonmc will back me up on this.

Freedy Johnston did a nice cover (?) of "Coffee" as well.

It is missing on of the best.

They missed "The Coffee Song" by Cream, too.
Shame on them for not including every coffee-related song ever made.

Thanks Carter, that was a nice little, well written bloggy article.

While I'd be loath to add another coffee song to the list since the article didn't purport to be comprehensive by a long shot, I've always liked Prince's "Starfish & Coffee."
