Underground, independent rapper Aesop Rock just wants his coffee to go.

All I Want is a Proper Cup of Coffee, by Trout Fishing in America
First time I’ve heard of that song, or that group! Thanks for sharing.
I believe the Beastie Boys like their sugar with coffee and cream, not the other way around.
I used to be that coffee drinker who wanted coffee like that. Then, I discovered some better coffee.

Great coffee song!
i think this is my favorite coffee article EVER! (well except my Italian Chocolate Coffee Wedding Cookie Recipes of course)
I always think of Jewel’s “Meant for you” She says
“Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn’t wanna talk”
It’s not a total coffee song, but I’ve always loved that lyric!
katy perry has a “Cup of Coffee” Song too..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKSDKwFkZFU
I didn’t have any idea that Katy Perry had a coffee song. I think I vaguely remember that Jewel lyric.
Oh this is a great list. The Squeeze song takes me way back. And I agree with the StillettoJen about the Jewel lyric – Love that line too!
