Pitbull may not have been at the Grammys last night, but that’s about the only place you won’t hear his latest single, Timber, which has sat at the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for two straight weeks (and eight up here in Canada — I guess there’s some truth to that lumberjack stereotype). But what is the Miami rapper and his guest star Ke$ha really trying to say with the club anthem? The National Post’s David Berry investigates.

Reading suggestion: Listen to Pitbull and Ke$ha’s hit Timber below, then scroll down to follow along with the lyrics. We’ve also put together a playlist of songs that fit in with Say Something – enjoy!
