Music Mix??
Christine, of the Morning Coffee & Afternoon Tea blog, recently posted about Tea Tunes. I was glad to find some more music featuring tea because I've been trying to collect songs to create a "tea mix" for myself. Here's what I have, so far:
Tea For One, Led Zeppelin, Presence,1976
Baby Beautiful, Aiha Higurashi, Japan For Sale: Volume 4
Scottish Tea, The Amboy Dukes, The Golden Age Of Underground Radio (all instrumental)
Beautiful World, Colin Hay
I'm still looking for songs that have a title or at least one line about tea. Any suggestions are welcome. :)

Excellent! You've got some there I've never heard. I found a site that has a CD for sale with piano music. The obvious ones are there: Tea for Two, When I Take My Sugar to Tea... but also listed is Do Re Mi. I forgot there's a line in that song that goes "Ti, a drink with jam and bread". Another song listed is Suzanne. I don't know that one.
I'll keep looking, it'd be great to see this list grow and grow. :)
I'm trying to track down a couple of pop/rock groups that have "tea" in their name, but they're fairly unknown and probably hard to find.
Of course, there are a few CDs of "tea" music out there -- usually new age, sometimes traditional/folk Chinese. These are nice (and I have a couple), but I'm really focused on songs and lyrics.
Now I just have to find a really funky cover of Do Re Mi (I'd forgotten about the ti line!).
Here are just a few more:
Afternoon Tea: The Kinks
All the Tea in China: Buck Ownes
Pennyroyal Tea: Nirvana
Sunday for Tea: Peter and Gordon
Tea for the Tillerman: Cat Stevens
Texas tea party: benny Goodman
I am slowly but surely going through the search results for "tea" from poemhunter.com (they list song lyrics as well). There are 224 hits, although quite a few are repeats.
Anyway, once I've done that, I'll add in the suggestions here, and I'll post an updated list to my blog. :)
Hi Cindy --
How about:
Have a Cuppa Tea - The Kinks
Boston Tea Party - The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Tea and Sympathy - Jars of Clay
When I Take My Sugar to Tea - The Boswell Sisters
Sorry to hear about the cat. Hope you're doing fine unde the circumstances. Say hi to J.
