What, exactly, is a Kumbaya Singing Mediator?

By Christopher Annunziata

Seriously?  I recently found myself telling someone that “I’m not a mediator that wants everyone to sing ‘Kumbaya’”.  Having never actually sung “Kumbaya,” I realized that I am not sure I know exactly what that means.  I simply picked up on the term from an article that Geoff cited.   I actually had to Google it.

And I learned that Kumbaya apparently one of the most annoying and repetitive songs since “Row Row Row Your Boat”, so  I can see why you don’t want to be known as a Kumbaya Singing Mediator.  On the other hand, the annoying repetitive nature of the song might be effective at putting your parties in a suggestible trance-like state.
