Music Inspired By Coffee- The Top 10 Coffee Songs

Aug. 26, 2009 - PRLog -- 10. Sexy, No, No, No- Girls Aloud: “Get him out for coffee, hell yeah!” The girls exclaim in yet another dance floor hit.

9. Nine to Five- Dolly Parton: So it’s not strictly coffee she’s sipping, but she does pour herself “a cup of ambition.”

8. Cappuccino- MC Lyte: MC Lyte’s rap is a tale of hindsight about a man who sees great cappuccinos being advertised in a cafe so he goes in to get one and finds himself in the middle of a drugs raid. He is mortally wounded in a shoot-out, despairing in the chorus: “Why, oh why did I need cappuccino?”

7. One More Cup of Coffee- Bob Dylan: This song, which has been covered by the White Stripes, was said to be inspired by a meeting with the King of the Gypsies, who turned out to just be an ordinary man living in a trailer.

6. Back for Good- Take That: “Got your lipstick marks still on your coffee cup,” The song that made millions of teenage (and not so teenage) girls swoon!

5. Coffee- Supersister: A cheeky play on the idea of ‘coming up for coffee,’ the song was released in 2000 by the all-girl trio (not to be confused with the Dutch 60s band Supersister).

4. Black Coffee- All Saints: The clue’s in the title on the female foursome’s 2000 hit single.
3. Drops of Jupiter- Train: Whilst the reference to coffee is only small: “The best soy latte that you ever had, and me;” the song is so well loved that we have given it the number 3 position.  

2. Tom’s Diner- Suzanne Vega: The song, which has be released, remixed and re-released several times in the last couple of decades, centres around a woman sitting at the counter in a diner and trying to get a decent cup of coffee: “I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee and he fills it only halfway and before I even argue he is looking out the window at somebody coming in.”

1. Coffee and TV- Blur: Britain’s foremost indie band sings about the perfect cure for modern life.
