Tuesday Tunes: Cups

     

 It is Tunes Tuesday and the 23^rd day of the Ultimate Blog Challenge and NaBloPoMo.   This month seems to be flying by!! 

       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 Kendrick is 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!
