The Final Word is a new series in which we take one last look at an already ubiquitous issue before declaring a moratorium on the subject and never writing about it again. Ever. Next up: The "Cup Song" from Pitch PerfectSomewhere in-between Drake’s start from the bottom, and his arrival, the internet became populated with videos made by people who don’t really know what they’re doing, or why.The worst of these is the cup song. You’ve probably heard of it. It involves a human, a cup, a pair of hands, a voice, and often, the sort of tone that’d make Gary Barlow convulse (unless, you’re beautiful enough to keep Saturday evening advertisers entertained, then it’d at least be a feigned straight track through to bootcamp). And, it’s all over the internet.But, it didn’t start out that way. The song is a reinterpretation of the 1930s country music classic, “Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone?”, by the Carter Family, who bear no relation. And by reinterpretation, I mean, the self-proclaimed performer smashes a cup on the table, smacks their hands together, and tries their hardest to attain the level of cute-yet-you-would twee that Zooey Deschanel patented, despite the fact that she’s famous, they’re not, she can sing, and they cannot.The song, in this form, was born, when a band who were created at a time when names like Cheeky Cheeky & The Nosebleeds were acceptable, called Lulu & The Lampshades, uploaded the below video.
