    "Java Jive" (1940) is a favorite of mine, but its music and hip attitude sound borrowed from "Rock It For Me" (1938) by Chick Webb. Both are great tunes.

    Haha, I came to post 'waiter, waiter, percolator' and I looked down and saw I'd done the exact same thing in the past. I am stuck in a life loop.

    Weird. I used to play the piano in the lobby of the Wall St. apts. in Seattle, Wa. This old woman, Alice, used to come down and play at the same time as me quite often, so anyway, she wanted to play this song on the piano and have me sing it. But of course, I didn't know it. This is the first time I've heard it.

    Now turn to Peggy Lee's Black Coffee - another caffeine-laden classic.
