Now I want to start by saying that I'm a fan of Anna Kendrick and Pitch Perfect was BEYOND awesome. Howeverthe cup song is now all over the place and I cannot seem to go anywhere without hearing it or seeing someone between the ages of 10 and 22 trying to form that popular rythem with their glass at a restaurant or online ( in one of the million copycat YouTube videos). Please everyone there are valid and substantial reasons why this MUST STOP...
1. Your attempt does not sound the same. Anna had a long time to practice and that heavy glass you're using from "The Cheesecake Factory" is not the right prop
2. Please understand that this is not the first song to be accompanied by a cup. Not sure which one came first but in my opinion it was done better by two young sisters (Lennon and Maisy) who later went on to co-star in the awesome show "Nashville" . Please clock this link to check out their awesomeness...http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/lennon-maisy-live-youtube/id555053161
3. You're killing the awesomeness that could have been this catchy quirky song that had a cup as it's main accompanying instrument. Please understand just because something is cool and different doesn't mean everyone has to learn to do it. That's how quirky turns to catchy, which turns into annoying and then finally it lands in the ' not even good enough for American Idol' pile.
So please everyone give the cup song a rest.
Aca-STOP!!
"aca-stop!"...hahahahaha! Hilarious!! But really though, you have some very valid points here and I would probably have to agree with you. Also, have you heard, I think it's the original version of this song, before it was even used in Pitch Perfect? It's a female trio called Erato and their voices are amazing!!
