Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Cups - Movie Version. By Songfacts®.

This track from the Pitch Perfect soundtrack features the voice of Anna Kendrick accompanied only by a plastic cup, which she uses as improvised percussion. The song serves as her character Beca's brief audition for the Barden Bellas, an all-female a cappella group from Barden University.

The song is just one minute seventeen seconds long, but isn't the shortest ever to grace the Hot 100. The Womenfolk's version of "Little Boxes," which peaked at #83 in 1964, lasts a mere one minute and two seconds.

The song debuted on the Hot 100 on the chart dated January 12, 2013. The same week the Barden Bellas' (including Kendrick) film-closing medley "Bellas Finals: Price Tag/Don't You (Forget About Me)/Give Me Everything/Just The Way You Are/Party in the U.S.A./Turn The Beat Around" also arrived on the tally at #96.
