Filed under: 9:30 Coffee Break

Not only do we get song requests for the 9:30 Coffee Break, but sometimes we get requests for themes. A few folks have suggested the topic of coffee. Seems to make sense, right? 9:30 Coffee Break about... coffee.

7 Minds- "Coffee"

So, this is an obscure one, but it would be the phenomenal song for a morning like this. Thought of this track from 1997 immediately when you were talking about this morning’s CB. If you can find it, it’s really the perfect song!

One Cup Of Coffee by Sublime
Mr. Coffee by Lagwagon

I second the Peggy Lee version of "Black Coffee."

How about the Colombian classic "Ojala que Llueva Cafe" by Juan Luis Guerra. It's about wishing it would rain coffee. Nothing wakes you up like a little cumbia in the a.m. Please!?

Lightnin' Hopkins is also great: "Coffee for Mama"

oh, last thing - The Profits "Sex at Six"...idk if you can play it. It's clean except for the word "sex." But they have that part

'Cause the best part of waking up
Is a little bit of sex at six in your cup."
