International Coffee Day Special: Songs that speak about love for the brew

The love for coffee is universal, best told in the language of music. Here are a few tracks that speak about a love for the brew in all its varied avatars - hot, cold, white, black, foamed and what have you!

The Coffee Song - Frank Sinatra
If you believe Frankie, nothing else but coffee will do for the Brazilians (they've got an awful lot of coffee there, he sings), who have it in tonnes, billions, zillions. And how they say no, no, no to every other drink.

Coffee Break - The Cast of 'How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying'
A track from the Broadway musical. Talks about the heights you'll go to for that cuppa, if there's no coffee during your coffee break.

Black Coffee In Bed - Squeeze
When you need constant reminders of a lost love, this one hits all the right... and wrong spots.

One Cup Of Coffee - Bob Marley
A coffee before I go, this one talks about a 'one for the road' post a divorce and the heartache that follows. One of Bob's earliest songs.

A Cup Of Coffee - Johnny Cash
Cash will have 'just a cup of coffee, friend' before he heads out in his semi on the highway as he turns down offers of alcohol... any kind. That must be one strong cuppa!

Coffee - Mika ft Lavina Williams
A new song by internationally renowned dancer-actor-singer-drag-queen from New Zealand
Coffee and TV - Blur

Cup Of Coffee - Katy Perry
For the times after a breakup when you could 'really go for a cup of coffee and an overdose. Kitty Purry sings it for the hearbroken during her One Of The Boys days.

Tere Sang Ek Simple Si Coffee - Zameen OST
Literally translates to: When I'm with you, even a simple coffee gives me a kick. In this song, Bipasha shows just how 'kicked' by planting a big wet one on AB Jr, sending nearby customers into a mad tizzy.

Hum Toh Hai Cappuccino - Kya Super Kool Hain Hum OST
A lead-in to separate it from another track called Up Bihar Lootne as it cannibalises the track for no apparent reason apart from because they can. Hum Toh Hai Cappuccino.. humein pee lo haseeno??

Capuchino - I Me Aur Main OST
A self-obsessed John Abraham is shown singing this one above the title credits as he awakes to a smiling Chitrangada and a nearby coffee shop as he muses about how haseenas ne 'dil ghol kar' given him a cuppa cappa. Go figure!

The Morning Song (Ho Shuru Har Din Aise) - Shankar Ehsaan Loy
This song features in a Nescafe commercial featuring Purab Kohli and Deepika Padukone and has assorted people walking in and out of the apartment as this jingle plays in the background.

Life Is Like A Cappuccino - Cappuccino OST
The sole Marathi track, it's the title song of a film that's called just that. About the sweet, frothy, colourful moments in life that are... well, like a cappuccino!
