Peeps were feeling the songs and @amahlemgengee's energy and wanted to join in. @Amahle commented, highlighting how ingrained the song is for anyone who spends enough time at Spur:
“I sat in Spur for about two hours and it was played so much, ngaphuma sengiyazi yonke.” [I left the place knowing the whole song.]
She expressed how she memorised the entire song after repeated listens. @Thando_ntungele joked:
“Me all the time when I go to another Spur. Bese ngyaFlexa cause they don’t know the song.”
For others, like @ntshuni, the experience goes beyond just singing:
“I love Spur for this reason. Saturday evenings month end are a vibe. I even join the follow-the-leader line with the kids.”
Former Spur staff member @amo_juliet shared her memories of working at the restaurant:
“When I worked at Spur, we sang the ‘you don’t know what I’ve been told’ one. But I know this one off by heart just from social media.”
The conversation also drew the attention of those planning future birthday celebrations. @Xoliswa.B asked
“So this song only plays at Spur? Kwamanye ama restaurants banawabo [Do other restaurants have their own version]? Because I’m planning to take my child to Paranotis on 28 September for her birthday, but I want this song.”
While the lighthearted discussion left many reminiscing about the joy Spur brings, some waitstaff expressed a more practical perspective. @Pablo Natalie humorously remarked:
“Aii, birthday songs are sometimes draining (as a waiter/waitress), especially on busy days, Iowa."
