META: Pitbull meme?

Can some kind soul explain the Pitbull meme?  I've been away for awhile.

Is he a Michigan alum?  Lulz.

It started 7-8 years ago when Dr. Pepper had a commercial with Pitbull that aired on seemingly every college football commercial break. The chorus said "Let's have a real good time," but Brian said that he could only hear "Let's have a field goal try," which is all I could hear afterwards. They are also partying under a bridge for unknown reasons. It's been a mgoblog meme since then.

I can't find the English version but this is it:

The Dr. Pepper college footballs ads during games used to feature Pitbull.  There were 10 times better then the Larry Culpepper ads.

Brian decided that Pitbull celebrating underneath a bridge was much more palatable that that guy being an annoying vendor and better for college football watching.

Yeah, a couple of years ago Brian came out in full force defense of Pitbull on a podcast (when the anti-Pitbull sentiment was at its strongest). Primarily because he is a hilariously weird media construct while also seemingly a really good and happy person.

Maybe that's the point of MGoBlog 3.0 -- expecting to ever again have all the features that you liked about MGoBlog 2.0 or asking the moderators why the point system can't be completely fixed, or why clicking on a post in your profile won't immediately take you to that post in the thread, or why you can't see both the number of upvotes and the number of downvotes for a post, instead of just seeing the net total of the votes, or why there isn't a way to see whether you've previously voted on a post, or why there's no way to identify posts that you've already read (among several other things, like why there can't be a list of links to websites related to all of the University of Michigan's sports teams, the Big Ten Conference and the athletic programs for each of the individual schools in the Big Ten) is like . . .

I asked a similar question in a thread last night. And while I’d really like to feel this moment and have the time of our lives together, I don’t think this is going down and I’m definitely not yelling timber. Further, I’d rather tell the team to give me everything tomorrow night, and I’d rather them be in bed early tonight. And given Seth’s game preview, I’d be okay if we shelve speed in space tomorrow and just run the night. I’m not messin’ around.

I’ve grown to like Pitbull.  He’s always in a good mood. I want more people with his attitude in my circle of friends.  

I’m trying to get a camping trip going with Pitbull, Jack Harbaugh, John Candy, Matthieu Ricard, Pharrell, And Katy Perry.  Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll print up some t shirts.
