Cups... as background music? Really?

If you haven't heard the song Cups (You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone), LISTEN TO IT! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY, LISTEN TO IT!

It was performed in the new movie Pitch Perfect by Anna Kendrick. She literally "plays" the cup and that's the accompaniment to the vocals.

Here it is:

I got my ticket for the long way 'round, two bottle of whiskey for the way. And i sure would like some sweet company and I'm leaving tomorrow, what-do-you-say?

When I'm gone, when I'm gone, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone. You're gonna miss me by my hair, you're gonna miss me everywhere. Oh, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone. 

I got my ticket for the long way 'round, the one with the prettiest of views. It's got mountains, it's got rivers, it's got sights to give you shivers, but it sure would be prettier with you.

When I'm gone, when I'm gone, oh you're gonna miss me when I'm gone. You're gonna miss me by my walk, you're gonna miss me by my talk, oh, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone.

That's all the lyrics.

I think I love this song because of it's simplicity and message of "I'm going, do you wanna come with me because I want you there and you'll miss me if you don't come."

It's cute and Kendrick is a pretty good singer for being an actress first. If you haven't heard it yet, please give it a listen. I think it's less than two minutes long, so even if you don't enjoy it, you didn't waste too much time.
