there’s the Tay Zonday internet sensation Chocolate Rain
and Rufus Wainwright’s Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk and Tom Waite’s Chocolate Jesus
(you’re right, Cocoa was a tough one, but chocolate is close enough, right?)

The only one I can think of is the “Hot Chocolate” song from Polar Express.
The Days of Wine and Roses
Cowboy Junkies
Anniversary Song
I can’t click that link. But I am stunned, stunned that Bob Marley recorded Red, Red Wine and I never heard it. I love that song and I love Marley, so I can’t believe I missed him singing it.
Or “Smimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop.”
“Here, we’ve only got one rule:
Never ever let it cool!
Keep it cookin in the pot,
Soon you’ve got-
Hot choc-o-lat!”
Red Wine and Whisky - Katrina and the Waves
Last Train to Clarksville - The Monkees
“We’ll have time for coffee-flavored kisses and a bit of conversation”
Livin’ La Vida Loca - Ricky Martin
“Her lips are devil red and her skin’s the color of mocha”
I don’ think he did. Every search turns up the UB40 version misattributed to Marley.* The song was written and originally recorded by Neil Diamond.
*It appears pretty common for any reggae sounding song to be attributed to Marley.
The Days of Wine and Roses, Andy Williams
Tea For Two, Doris Day
Tea For The Tillerman, Cat Stevens
Cracklin’ Rosie, Neil Diamond
And the appropriate recipe for “Tea for Two” is. . . a sugar cake!
Two Andrews Sisters favorites: **Rum And Coca Cola **and They Got An Awful Lot Of Coffee In Brazil
“Drink the wine, my darling you said…”
Sweetest Taste of Poison by Halestorm
Roundaround by Blues Traveler
“I like coffee and I like tea, but to be able to enter a final plea…”
Cisco Kid by War
“The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine”
“He drink whiskey Pancho drink the wine”
So which drink corresponds to which suit?
My guesses:
Cocoa - pentacles (earth)
Tea - cups (water)
Coffee - wands (fire)
Wine - swords (air)
The obvious answer would be that all of them correspond to “cups.”
Songs About Chocolate. (Cocoa = chocolate, more or less, right?)
Googling “cocoa songs,” best I can come up with is this.
There are several Genesis songs that reference tea, as in
(Harold the Barrel) cut off his toes
and he served them all for tea
And for wine there’s the Eagles’ “Hotel California”:
So I called up the captain,
’please bring me my wine’
He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’
Yeah, but he did sing “Who Let The Dogs Out”, right? Right?
I did not know that Neil Diamond wrote “Red Red Wine”. I did not know that.
I Drink Alone by George Thorogood:
*Every morning just before breakfast
I don’t want no coffee or tea *
