If you’ve entered a nightclub, shopping mall, or pretty much any American establishment of any kind in the past two months, you’ve probably heard Pitbull and Ke$ha’s ridiculously catchy earworm of a pop song, “Timber.” You might even be kind of sick of it. But the folks of Postmodern Jukebox have injected new (or, actually, old) life into the tune with a 1950s-era doo-wop cover.
Here’s what you have to do: Stop fighting how thrillingly infectious this is, quit shaming yourself for enjoying it so much and just let its gratifying melody wash over you.
