Songs For Saturday: The Red Lobster Playlist with Fleetwood Mac, REM and Daniel Powter

 

For today's Songs For Saturday, the source of the playlist comes from Red Lobster.

...

Yes, I should explain.

For lunch Sunday, Andrea and I went to our local Red Lobster where we both had shrimp, baked potatoes and salad.

Our waitress was Robin who remembered us from our previous visit to the restaurant about 3 weeks prior. Wow! That is impressive. 

Andrea and I were having a pleasant time with conversation and dining as I became aware of a song coming over the speakers, "Hold Me" by Fleetwood Mac.  

I must commend the management of this particular Red Lobster as the music was at perfect level to be quite legible without being too loud. 

As our dining experience continued, I heard a song by REM, "Shiny Happy People".  The song features guest vocals from Kate Pierson of the B-52s who like REM hail from Athens, GA.  

Next up we heard a song that Andrea vaguely recalled hearing as part of a TV show. The song was "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter which was a staple of American Idol back in it's heyday on Fox. 

Then we heard "Hold Me" by Fleetwood Mac. Wait! Didn't they already play that one?

A few moments later, it's "Shiny Happy People" by REM.

Followed by "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter. 

As our meal reached it's conclusion, we heard "Hold Me" by Fleetwood Mac, "Shiny Happy People" by REM and "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter.

As we settled up the bill and bid a fond farewell to Robin (who was most friendly and attentive),  "Hold Me" by Fleetwood Mac was fading away as "Shiny Happy People" by REM  played us out the building.  

And that, my friends, is our Red Lobster playlist.  

Well, that is that for today's Songs For Saturday. 

Until next time, remember to be good to one another and to always keep the music alive.
