" And just when you thought his gig hosting last night&amp;#039;s American Music Awards would be the pinnacle of this week&amp;#039;s Pitbull-themed excitement, a new music video for his song &amp;quot;Timber&amp;quot; featuring Ke$ha has debuted. It doesn&amp;#039;t make any sense. In fact, the whole video can be best summed up in this extra&amp;#039;s bemused/scared expression:  &amp;quot;Timber&amp;quot; is basically an excuse for club kids to dance to &amp;quot;Cotton Eye Joe&amp;quot; without admitting they enjoy the latter/know all the moves. (I consider &amp;quot;Cotton Eye Joe&amp;quot; a classic however, and refuse to hear any arguments against its merit.) Ke$ha&amp;#039;s serving Ke$ha, because she can&amp;#039;t help herself \u2014 but this time with an extra side of Deep South twang. And don&amp;#039;t even question the sound&amp;#039;s authenticity because there&amp;#039;s a guy playing a washboard in the saloon where most of the video is set.  She&amp;#039;s writhing around the quintessential swinging saloon doors, writhing in a sexy line dance number like a big trout caught on that ridiculous competitive fishing show Top Hooker, and then she&amp;#039;s writhing in a farmyard too. The livestock are not bothered, but still, writhing is so in right now. Her line dancing friends are also trying to make axes into this month&amp;#039;s sledgehammers. You just can&amp;#039;t lick them though, because you might slice and dice your tongue. Also there&amp;#039;s a baby alligator.  And also worthy of mention: Ke$ha&amp;#039;s bikini, which comes with a tea-stained lace train. (Also also worthy: Ke$ha&amp;#039;s bikini body, because wow.) Here she looks like a cross between Taissa Farmiga on this season&amp;#039;s American Horror Story and those twins that were on Top Model a while back.   Though he pops up briefly in the saloon scenes to dance awkwardly wearing white loafers, Pitbull really isn&amp;#039;t down with much of this buckwild shit. He&amp;#039;s still wearing suits, he&amp;#039;s still rapping about twerking and vodka (presumably because the song&amp;#039;s title refers to falling down drunk... like a log, yes/no?) and his scenes in the video play out in the Bahamas, with the requisite lady in a crochet swimsuit. He thus gets a free trip to the Bahamas, which seems a little unfair to Ke$ha.  Evidently, no-one felt comfortable letting him know that all the tropical seascapes and beachy frolics are completely out of place with both the song and remainder of the video&amp;#039;s vibe. That said, there&amp;#039;s a brief shot of a swimming pig which makes it mostly OK.   There really is an island in the Bahamas inhabited by swimming pigs, you see. They are cute, maybe, but also feral. There&amp;#039;s likely more madness still in the video; I tend to glaze over soon after seeing hot guys in cowboy hats. So, please, examine it also closely for other odd animal cameos and/or negligible hot pants and then let me know:  Post by Pitbull.  One thing we can be sure of, however, is that when a tree falls in the woods and its autotuned, it does make a sound. And it is a catchy sound. Tiiiiiiimber.
