My Cups, my cups, my lovely Aca-Cups

I've seen Pitch Perfect twice. The second time around, I sang along a bit more.
But the one song I did not know was "When I'm Gone" from Lulu and the Lampshades. Anna Kendrick's voice is unique and I love her singing this song.

And because I am just that crazy, I went on a quest to learn the Cups song. I watched YouTube tutorials and practiced and practiced. Dean was very interested in learning it as well. However, being the crazy, stubborn child of a crazy, stubborn parent, he refused any instruction from me. He wanted to watch the videos by himself and eventually, he taught himself how to do it.
I was only able to capture part of his routine. This kid is pretty awesome.





Here is the music video that I want to learn the alternate ways to do cups.

Cups (When I'm Gone) Music Video




"When I'm Gone (Cups)"
I got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
Oh, I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say?

When I'm gone (when I'm gone)
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
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest view
It's got mountains, it's got rivers,
It's got woods that give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you

When I'm gone (when I'm gone)
When I'm gone (when I'm gone)
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You'll miss me by my talk
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
These feet weren't built to stay too long
And I'll go there on my own,
But you'll miss me when you're home
It's for you, dear, that I sing this song

When I'm gone (when I'm gone)
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,
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You'll miss me by my talk
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
