"Timber" is a song by UK dance act Coldcut with Hexstatic.
"Timber" contains audio samples of logging activities from a Greenpeace film about rainforest destruction, as shown in the original video for the song, and was conceived by the band as a protest against the excesses of the logging industry.[1]
The 2001 Guinness Book of Records listed the song under Most Music Videos For One Song, since there are five different videos for the song: the original mix, the EBN remix, the LPC remix, the Clifford Gilberto remix and the Gnomadic remix.[2] The Timber EP contains 7 versions of the song.
