Billy Joe & The Checkmates - Percolator (1962)

[frightfan1]

Such memories! I used to love to watch my family's old percolators and loved the old Maxwell house commercial!

[cynthia6637]

Yep!

Walgreens plays some of the BEST MUSIC

I always write down the songs I maybe don't have , Very few I don't have, Now this is one of them!

Cute,

Cynthia

I heard this is Walgreens today, and on Wednesday! I hadn't heard it anywhere in quite a while! Glad to find it on YouTube!

I still have a percolator!! OK, it's not electric, and is meant for camping, and I do not camp anymore, but I keep it and cans of Sterno because while I will occasionally lose power in the country, I NEVER want to be without coffee!!

[Bacmaster]

@CBJIMW8 I guess you used A&P 8 O'Clock coffee too! lol. The electric percolator is still the best IMO. I'm not a very happy camper myself without

my coffee.

Thanks CBJIMW8

"Merry Christmas"

Regards from Joe

I wonder how many kids today even know what a percolator is or what it was used for

[Bacmaster]

@Aeroplnut It's funny you should ask! I had a comment posted that said, "what's up with coffee pots and what does it have to do with coffee'? Is was very sarcastic in nature. I wanted to ask him, "what's up with ignorance little punk'? Sorry, I can't deal with morons on my channels. They get their moment of fame then, "say goodnight Johnny"!

Thank you

Thank you

Been looking for the name of this tune ever since hearing it the other day, and remembering it had something to do with coffee. Thanks for the post

This song is still good to the last note,as the coffee is good to the last drop.I can't live without coffee or music.This is one of the best versions of this song on the internet. Take care ADonovan43

Wow! I hadn't heard this in years! I know where one of these buildings is located. The silver one at 2:00 is on U.S. Highway 60 between Lexington and Buena Vista, VA. I've been past it many times over the years. Thanks for posting!
