Coffee Break: Songs for staying cool
by Jill Riley
July 27, 2023
Can you feel it? A heat advisory is in effect through Thursday evening for the Twin Cities and much of central Minnesota into western Wisconsin. We gotta find a way to cool down, perhaps with a cold beverage. A milkshake, maybe? Possibly even a Pina Colada? So, how about an iced coffee break this time around?
When it comes to finding some musical inspiration, it doesn’t have to be a cold beverage, though. Think about songs about anything that keeps you cool. Refreshments? A dip in the pool? The choice is yours!
For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs about staying cool and refreshed do you want to hear?
