My grandma sang to me: "I love coffee/ I love tea/ I love you/ and you love me", and so I went hunting for "I Love Coffee" lyrics. Didn't know that there was a song called Java Jive out there. Heh.
@EinsDaVinGaliDar fallout is lame.. there music doesnt seem to have much swing to it.. i first got into the jive about 07. when bioshock came out.. heard there swingin sounds while smoking some marijuana. and got hooked.. i have a big ol collection of jazz and blues hits from the 20s-40s. i tried playing fallout for the music and it was all bad. i think bioshock has way better music.. and gameplay of course.. im even an upcoming jazz trumpeter. but ya, i heard this on Sirius XM radio 40s on 4...
@JazzyBlues420 As much as it pains me to say this: were you also smoking some marijuana while playing Fallout 3? That could be a huge difference, obviously. Also, the "being black in the 40's" thing that the other guy said is pretty obvious...
Thumbs up if it wasnt fallout that introduced you to the ink spots, but the shawshank redemption (the scene where andy dufresne is sitting outside his wife's lover's house with the whiskey and revolver)
The greatest invention of the latter 20th Century is the wedding of the alarm clock with a drip percolator. Imagine, it's ready for you before you're out of bed! The pinacle of western civilization. This is bigger than the transistor, bigger than the microchip! After all, if we weren't wide awake we'd never have invented those things. Early to rise impossible without coffee, and a coffeemaker/alarm clock combo is essentail. Nuff said...
I was ten years old in 1940 and my nineteen year old brother would stack the old 78’s by the phonograph and pay me ten cents to play them for him while he was getting ready to go out. Whenever I hear Java Jive I remember my big brother.
Music is meant to be heard, to make commonalities, to bring people together. So to start to discriminate based on when or where the music was heard is just ludicrous. It means that you don't respect the band, the genre, the person, or yourself. It shows that you are out to 'prove' something to someone (or yourself). I heard the Ink Spots on Fallout3 and I love them. I'm sorry that I was raised with young parents who like modern music.
Does anyone else hear that one like crazy guy in the background in some songs? especially in that cat is high whenever he scream DONKEYFUCK! im just like wth o.O
@LucifersArms666 Everyone starts that way! I remeber driving around with grandpa listening to the Inkspots on his 8-track player, thinking the same thing! lmao
My grandad used to sing this song all the time growing up and i thought he made it up. He passed away a couple of years ago and i stumbled across it and realised it was real lol. I know all the words because of him, always thought he was crazy singing about coffee. Now this just makes me smile all the time. lol
My Nan and Grandad got me into this (well,I used to laugh at it when younger!) now I'm older,I listen to their music a lot more!Both passed now,but have such great memories of the Ink Spots!Love it.People say it's on a computer game.....I think that's good.....MORE people from a new generation can hear this beautiful sound!Jeez,I'm welling up!lol.Great upload,thanks!
The line "unless it's a cheery, cheery bean" has mystified many people since the song was first released. Some subsequent performers have sung "a chilli, chilli bean" or "a cheery, cheery coffee bean", but in fact it was intended to be a pun on a contemporary hit song with the Italian title "Ciribiribin", pronounced "cheery beery bean". The lead singer simply got the pronunciation wrong.
The band members provided their own backing on three tenor guitars (four-stringed acoustic guitars tuned like a tenor banjo) and a 'cello which was plucked and slapped like a jazz double-bass. Just thought you might like to know.
@EinsDaVinGaliDar I found this music when I was 10 and surfing on the Direct TV guide and found the music channels... I visited Radio Disney (blah!) 90's on 9, 80's on 8, etc... and then I found 40's on 4... best channel choice I could've ever made :)
I admit though, I took games like Fallout and Bioshock for me to discover one of my all time favorite 40's band... The Ink Spots! :)
@somberlight You know, I would have to agree with @EinsDaVinGaliDar . However, I don't like to say so because I'm scared of being called a "hipster". Either listen to what is in the charts, or be called "anti-culture" (hint: there is no such thing as anti-culture, it is just conforming to a different group). I don't consider myself a hipster, but it feels like I'm being forced to either be as conformed as possible or be labelled as such.
@Ejay1001 to each our own ofc, the thing what amuses the living heck out of me is that something as trivial as that is suddenly a valid mark of existence for someone. do what you do, like what you like but you don't have to make a number of it like he did. "i found it via the way X ergo i am superior to you" is not a valid point, it's just a different way of saying up yours, i rule.
I am honestly, first and foremost, a metalhead, I listen to heavy metal and all metal genres, and I have to say that this is better than even the most heart pounding songs by any band i have ever heard before thank you Fallout universe for showing us these wonderful songs
@ktagseth Most of the latter ones, yes. The riff was put into action when the original singer, Jack Daniels became ill and was replaced by Bill Kenney, one of the greatest singers ever to... well, sing. He sang the song above, I think, though I'm not quite sure. Anyway, When Danielswas the frontman, they played mainly up-beat songs, like stompin' at the savoy and Christopher Columbus (I would recommend the first one, unless you are an incredibly Patriotic American. cont. next.
@ktagseth When he left and Kenney joined, however, they slowed the rhythm down and added that Iconic riff. The first song to ever use it was "If I didn't care", and became one of the best selling singles of all time, beating even the Beatles best. There were a few deviations of this theme, like the collaborations between Ella Fitzgerald and the ink spots, but many followed the Tenor Tenor Bass Tenor pattern that gave them fame.
Edit: The original front man was Jerry Daniels, not Jack.
@impkane88 I am not trying to start a fight or anything I am simply voicing my opinion. I didn't write the comment as a pro segregation comment. I meant it as the 1940's were a simpler and better time. I didn't think about the segregation or anything or the sort when I wrote it.
To those who associate this with "Fallout Music," check out other "A Capella" style songs. Basically same genre but the Spots were pioneers in the field.
The Manhattan Transfer would be a natural transition. And then you can learn about JAZZ!
I used to sing this song when I was at school when I was like 13 or 14, I always remembered most of it and I kept signing it until now, I'm glad I've found a version of this song more similar to the rhythm the teacher reached it to us than the other versions I've found : )
It just shows you if you play something enough others end up liking it. this is my favourite of all songs. I constantly sang it and played it on my mp3 player and now i have atleast 20 more of my friend liking it :P Best song in the world. Thanks for the post
I remember listening to this when I was a child. I played it over and over on my little record player. That would haven in the 60's. Loved it then, love it now.
We're singing this in choir. XD When I heard the beginning, my first thought? "Oh my gosh, Fallout! I don't want to set the world on fire! Why does it have this title then?" I didn't even make the connection.

all the ink spots songs that i've heard start the same with that guitar..? think it's a guitar, some sort of bass... anyway, havent heard one thats a different intro.. :)
@plonkerfest They start all of their songs with this riff but usually in different tones and at different tempo, sometimes with piano or guitar and even other instruments.
@meccarian Not necessarily. I played the original game and part of the 2nd and none of them were anywhere near of inspiring me like Fallout 3 did.
They are all good games, it just works differently for different people. I just don't get why Fallout 1&2 fans keep trying to force their isometric and turn based views on others.
I'm 19 so I didnt grow up on this, but it always reminds me of my grandad. He used to sing this all the time, so much so that both me, my brother and my sister know all the words. I didnt even realise it was a real song until he passed away and i stumbled on it. It always makes me smile

I listen to these all Sunday long. Love just sitting around with the aura of these great bands from way back when. Sometimes, I even imagine trying to go back. Such a simpler and better time (Thanks for posting these!!!!)
i listen to a variety of music that seems like rap screwed disco...
my music collection is a mutt of blues, Elvis(strictly), country, rock(various kinds), techno, pop, remixed stuff that doesn't have a name..like this one remix of the phrase "this. is. SPARTA!!!!", the word pingas, and.. need i go on? i love all kinds of music!

We're singing this in choir. XD When I heard the beginning, my first thought? "Oh my gosh, Fallout! I don't want to set the world on fire! Why does it have this title then?" I didn't even make the connection.

@plonkerfest They start all of their songs with this riff but usually in different tones and at different tempo, sometimes with piano or guitar and even other instruments.

@SirCheezey the only song i can think of thats different is "slap that bass"

@72metallicafan actually, Fallout 1 could've got you into it much more :P
meccarian 1 year ago
@meccarian Not necessarily. I played the original game and part of the 2nd and none of them were anywhere near of inspiring me like Fallout 3 did.
They are all good games, it just works differently for different people. I just don't get why Fallout 1&2 fans keep trying to force their isometric and turn based views on others.

I'm 19 so I didnt grow up on this, but it always reminds me of my grandad. He used to sing this all the time, so much so that both me, my brother and my sister know all the words. I didnt even realise it was a real song until he passed away and i stumbled on it. It always makes me smile

I listen to these all Sunday long. Love just sitting around with the aura of these great bands from way back when. Sometimes, I even imagine trying to go back. Such a simpler and better time (Thanks for posting these!!!!)

Hey, nice song!
Check out the song "Canta Bahia" by "Paloma Gomes" - you will like it, too.
