So, last night was my first time watching Pitch Perfect. Well, it was my first and second time since I watched the movie twice. I love movies with great music. I wasn't able to find a good clip of one of my favorite parts of the movie, but here is Anna Kendrick on the Letterman Show with a glimpse.
After seeing Anna Kendrick perform this song in the movie several times (not because she performed it several times in the movie, but because I kept rewinding the movie), I was in love with the song and found myself singing it without much effort. I had to know where the song came from.
A simple search in YouTube for "You're Gonna Miss Me" or "The Cups Song" brought up several girls (and guys) covering the song. I soon found the origin of the song. Lulu and the Lampshades (now Landshades) is an English band, but I wasn't able to find much about them. Here is a clip of them performing the song in 2009.
Awesome, right?! Like I said, I found myself singing the song! Then, I couldn't resist trying the cup. Again, a simple search on YouTube for "You're Gonna Miss Me Cups Tutorial" and there are tons of YouTubers eager to teach me. It took about 20 minutes, and I got the beat down solid. Now, there's just putting the words with the beat, which I have not figured out yet. Lots of concentration for a non-musician like me to do both at the same time. I'm off work today, so maybe I'll get it. Or maybe I'll do some work...I don't know!
Love Rebel Wilson in this movie! She is hilarious!
