Celebratin'... Java Junkies

Because The Grind went off on a pro-coffee rant today, celebrating all humanity's right to be a nervous twitchy mess, we are celebrating the dark, magical elixir that starts our days in sight and sound.


Try this trick at home to impress your friends -- with how much coffee you can spill.



The quintessential torch singer, and major babe, Ms. Julie London with the jazz standard "Black Coffee."


A little tune you might know, "Black Coffee In Bed" by Squeeze, the often masterful British band. Nice bolo.


There's more. But we haven't got time for "The Coffee Song" recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1946; "Coffee Shop" from rapper Yung Joc, another "Coffee Shop" by Red Hot Chili Peppers; "Coffee & TV" by the British band Blur; "Coffee Song" by Jars of Clay; and "Coffee and Cigarettes," written by Marty Robbins, and performed to great acclaim by Otis Redding. We probably missed a few. Let us know in the comments if we did.
