CUP SONG - ANOTHER VIRAL VIDEO

Cup song – never heard of it before until I saw this video of my cousin on facebook. I was literally astonished on how she was able to make instrumentals out of a plain cup. More so, it sounds good! I interviewed her about it and learned that it is an Anna Kendrick's song. Just as usual, I browsed over youtube videos and found a lot more of the same kind including this one that was performed by a 7 year old girl - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpCVXYxhx2k. Fantastic!

Percussions are music instruments that can be struck by a beater, a hand or other similar instrument to make a sound. It is one of the oldest instruments next to human voice and has evolved into a lot of versions these days. The oldest could be that of tapping two sticks together. The newest version of sets of drums can cost as low as $350 or as high as $ 4,277. And those lovely timpani have a whopping cost of more or less than $6,500!




 . Why worry about the price when you can make music by using a little creativity? I learned Beca Mitchell played by Anna Kendrick on an American musical comedy film entitled “Pitch Perfect ” used a cup to render a song. And this has become an inspiration to others who uploaded their own version of cup song on youtube. This has become viral! I didn’t know until I saw that video my cousin had uploaded on facebook.

Here is my daughter's own version of Cup Song. She was 7 years old so some of her lyrics are not clear.
