Towards the end of the school year my
daughter couldn’t sit at the dinner table without going through the motions of
the cup song. She said anyone who was
anyone knew how to do the moves and were doing them all the time at school. Oh to be almost 13 years old again!!! Finally one day I looked up the “Cup Song”
which is performed by Anna Kendrick on YouTube to see what all the fuss was
about. Anna Kendrickis an American
actress from the film “Pitch Perfect”with the tune a remake of the 1931 folk
song “When I’m Gone” recorded by the Carter Family.
The video is fun and clever and the song
catchy. While I still haven’t felt
compelled to play with my cups like a teeny bopper no matter how many times my
daughter insists I try it, I love the song and find myself singing along. If you haven’t heard the “Cup Song”, give a
listen!
Erin, it is just my oldest tapping the table and sliding the cups around. LOL The first time she did it I wondered what the hell was going on and she was quick to enlighten me. While I didn't mind watching her do it, I didn't really feel like learning myself. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
Holli, I had never heard the song and only knew about the cups from my daughter's slap happiness with the cups here at my house! LOL Love this song too. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
