Timber By Pitbull Featuring Ke$ha

Today we are dissecting the #1 hit on Billboard.com's Hot 100! Enjoy! 



[Ke$ha]
It's going down, I'm yellin' timber
You better move, you better dance
Let's make a night, you won't remember
I'll be the one, you won't forget

[Pitbull]
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
This biggity boys are diggity out
I have 'em like Miley Cyrus, clothes off
Twerking in their bras and thongs, timber
Face down, booty up, timber
That's the way we like the war, timber
I'm sticking it in oil spill
She say she won't, but I bet she will, timber

Swing your partner round and round
End of the night, it's going down
One more shot, another round
End of the night, it's going down
Swing your partner round and round
End of the night, it's going down
One more shot, another round
End of the night, it's going down

Ok, let's break this down. You don't think that'll be a turn off Kesha? When you are about to do some...um...things with a man that has probably been with more women than you can count (granted, that's not very much for you, but you get the picture) randomly yelling "TIMBER" wouldn't be a turn off? That would lead to an awkward silence for sure. 

Now Pitbull, good to know your vocabulary hasn't changed much from your grade school years, you biggity boy, you. You are going to have 'em like Miley Cyrus? Who is "'em?" Women? Men? Both? Be a little bit more specific, because the following lyric, the one with "booty up" kinda makes you wonder....

You're sticking it in a oil spill? Better stay away from open flames. She won't say what? Timber? She did a little bit earlier. Not only does your grammar need work, but looks like your memory needs some as well. 

I love this part. Now this pop song just turned into a square dance! Way to be multicultural guys, you get brownie points for that one....

[Ke$ha]
It's going down, I'm yellin' timber
You better move, you better dance
Let's make a night, you won't remember
I'll be the one, you won't forget

It's going down, I'm yellin' timber
You better move, you better dance
Let's make a night, you won't remember
I'll be the one, you won't forget

[Pitbull]
Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane
No, it's just me, ain't a damn thing changed
Live in hotels, swing on plane
Blessed to say, money ain't a thing
Club jumping like it going down, bowl it
Order me another round, homie
We about to climb, wild, 'cause it's about to go down


Swing your partner round and round
End of the night, it's going down
One more shot, another round
End of the night, it's going down
Swing your partner round and round
End of the night, it's going down
One more shot, another round
End of the night, it's going down

[Ke$ha]
It's going down, I'm yellin' timber
You better move, you better dance
Let's make a night, you won't remember
I'll be the one, you won't forget

It's going down, I'm yellin' timber
You better move, you better dance
Let's make a night, you won't remember
I'll be the one, you won't forget


Pitbull, why are you telling everyone to look up in the sky? Can you fly? I don't get it. The only thing that I could possibly see being up there is your huge ego. I love how you think traveling constantly, living in hotels and clubbing is better than having a family to go home to every night. You're a great role model Mr. Pitbull. I'm sure your face is on the walls of all teeny boppers and thugs everywhere! Congratulations! What an achievement!



Thanks for tuning in you guys! We'll see you next time when there is a new #1 hit!
