I just did a Google search on "traditional kwanzaa songs" and got:

Kwanzaa search

Knowing Google's search engine, I'm likely to become the #1 result in a few days...

My question is why were you searching "traditional kwanzaa songs"? Were you bored?

It was a request/proof from Michelle. Years ago Claire's class sang a Kwanzaa song for the holidays. We've joked about it every season since. We were wondering if there really were any so we went a-searchin'...

I had to teach about Kwanzaa at Rhodes- weird!
Happy Christmas Eve!

Hi Lyss,

That was kind of Michelle's bet. I said that the song that Claire's class performed seemed really lame. So much that it almost seemed made up just to be politically correct. "We have to have a Kwanzaa song..." She said, search for traditional Kwanzaa songs. And lo, Google said "Ni".

It's just shy of being a Google Whack:

Woo-hoo! We're now the one and only hit at Google for "traditional Kwanzaa songs" (in quotes). So it took Google less than 2 days to re-index the site. Not bad, considering I have extremely low rank at Google... (by design)

I did find one subtle thing. My preferences on Google are often setup with strict filtering, since I might be searching something with my children. A few results did show up on a different computer that didn't have that setting...

Well a few result did come up ... but your's was at the top!
