You're Gonna Miss Me, Lulu and the Lampshades

A little about:
I learnt the cup rhythm at a family run music class in North London called Sumics. The chorus comes from the Carter Family song “When I’m Gone - 1935”, and we wrote the verses. Also, we were credited in the Pitch Perfect film.
You can purchase the recorded version of this song (with an extra verse) at our bandcamp: luluandthelampshades.bandcamp....
Lulu and the Lampshades are now Landshapes. Facebook: / landshapes

[@kirram5245]

Its so sad everyone thinks this started in Pitch Perfect when you two really started.

[@TheArdeleannicole]

True story bro (y) :D

[@ibtiamat]

Actually even Lulu and the Lampshades didn't even start it. They got it from J.E. Mainer's Mountaineers, a bluegrass band back in the late 30s.

[@TheArdeleannicole]

really? :O

[@kirram5245]

Beth Buchanan But they were the first to combine the cup game and the song from the 30s.

[@illtardisyourdoctor]

Kirra McColl FUN FACT! It's in Pitch Perfect BECAUSE of this specific video. Anna Kendrick spent hours watching this video on Reddit learning it and then while filming Pitch Perfect she was like "I can do this...?" and they loved it and put it in the film. An interview where Anna tells this to a talk show host (I can't remember which one, there's too many) went around tumblr a while after the film was released.

[@paolatovar5077]

Anna Kendrick watched this video so many times to learn it ....she said it on an interview. She loved it and wanted it to be part of pitch perfect that's why it was added as her audition

[@vivianramosmaldonado1242]

To everyone saying that Pitch Perfect stole this song or took all the credit for it... If you look in the credits you can see that they mention them. Also Anna Kendrik clarified in an interview that she didn't invent it, during their pitch bootcamp she saw a video of people doing it, she learned how to do it, and the producers saw her and thought that that should be in the movie. So get your facts straight before you hate.

it was credited at the end of the credits....you know those white letters that roll up at the end of screen?? MY GOD READING IS MAGIC!!!

[@astridj3918]

But they could've placed those credits somewhere in the movie where people could've easily seen it, not somewhere they know where people don't read it, bc that sounds kinda sketchy. They could've hidden those credits in the end there so that people won't get to read it. lol in situations like these you have to think of counter arguments about what the other side might do or not do.

[@sophiatownsend4790]

Jon J you credit people during credits. if you like a song, and wish to know more, you're gonna have to read. what are you 7?

[@OHSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII]

Yes, but tell me, how many people sit through the credits to see who was starring, or featured?

[@sophiatownsend4790]

That's on them. The film company did their part. This song is no different than any other song used in films before. If you want information, you're gonna need to read at times. Hell, look it up at imbd. They ARE credited, As they are meant to do. No one is making you read, you chose not to. I however, recognized the song, then saw it during the credits. See? It works. You're at fault. not anyone else.

I HEARD there in the end credits in the pitch perfect movie it was in but I'm not sure

[@Talierau3]

When I'm Gone is a 1930s folk-song. The Cup Game is a game that most people just played at parties, or watched on TV (Full House), I played it at summer camp. Lulu and the Lampshades did a cover of this song, the same rhythm is used in Call Your Girlfriend, and Screen Door. My opinion, no one stole anything from anyone. Anna Kendrick learned from watching this video over and over, Jason Moore found out and decided to put it in the movie. Then it exploded...

[@EricS16]

Right, these ladies did receive their writing credit - which means they were paid royalties on sales of the EP etc. It's not Ms. Kendrick's job to tell everyone who actually wrote the song - it's right there on Wikipedia for anyone who cares to look.

[@IamDAFTCHILD]

I was here when this was released and spent many a drunken night trying to learn it. Real ones remember the the OGs

[@dreaming-]

yes, this is the original. but pitch perfect stole it :(, it lied this is NOT the original, this the original cup song.

[@Luxyglamlife]

The cup song was really a cup game, for many years. The song originated from a 1930's song by J.E Mountaineer. So Lulu and the lampshades just added the cup game and the song together. Most of everything in this world started somewhere once before and then was recreated, no big deal.

[@Luxyglamlife]

Update The Carter Family was the original artist that was then copied by J.E. Mountaineer and so on :-)

[@henrywalls6951]

This is correct, however the verses in the song are all their own. They rewrote the lyrics using the cups game, and kept the old chorus. I think they deserve some credit for that.

[@Luxyglamlife]

CHerie Dickey I heard that they did get credit for that

Pitch Perfect didn't "steal" this song. They never claimed they wrote it or made it up. Anna Kendrick saw this on Reddit & learned it for funsies, & then the producers decided they wanted to have her do it in the movie. She talks about it in interviews. Also, this is an old folk song, so it's not completely Lulu & the Lampshades either. I learned the cup rhythm in 2005 when the whole cup stacking challenge was huge. Lulu & the Lampshades just amazingly combined the two together. Get over it.

It's called a cover. It's done in every opera house, karaoke bar, and d-bag with a guitar's room on the planet. The song was written in the 1930s and has been covered by dozens of musicians and groups over the years. That's part of why American folk music is great. It evolved from that early simple folk tune to what you saw Anna Kendrick and these fine ladies do. I love America.

[@laurenasuzano1977]

Everyone keeps saying how they hate pitch perfect for "copying" them. Guys, chill. 1st off, everyone already knows that these two girls originally put the game and the song together, so why is it still an issue. Secondly, Anna Kendrick said in an interview how she found it. And if we didn't find out somehow, how did we get here? How did we find this video if it wasn't credited? It could've just been a cover and they still got significantly recognized for it. And lastly, they didn't "create" this. The game and the song existed already. Putting them together doesn't mean they invented it or they have the rights to it. I guess they should've said something in the movie not in the credits possibly, but who knows? Maybe they emailed these girls and said this'll be in the movie. And I don't know about you guys, but I have never heard or heard of them complaining that it got used. Really, it just gave them publicity. So everyone needs to pipe down. I'm not insulting anyone, nor do I mean to if I do. And I'm not hating on the movie or this video, I love both of them, I'm just saying I'm a little annoyed at the fact that everyone is making such a big deal.

It says in the credits of the movie that they are the clear owners of the Cup Song. And everyone who said that THIS is also a cover, it isn't. They took the 'You're going to miss me when I'm gone' from an older song and added lyrics and then took the popular game in the old days, 'The Cup Game' and mixed them together to get the Cup Song.

[@Lucy-et8rv]

Everyone's like PITCH PERFECT STOLE IT THEY ARE SOOOOO STUPID but when actually they gave credit to them so all the people that say that shut up its nothing to do with you

[@DennisAKAcoco]

Uploaded on Jun 8, 2009 3 years before pitch perfect pitch perfect oct 5, 2012 THIS IS THE ORIGINAL Anna Kendrick didn't even give them a nod publicly or let them be in her video I know that the song is from 1930 and the actual cup thing is from full house (true story) but Y U NO GIVE THEM CREDIT

[@LiovaElise]

The cup thing is NOT from Full House, it's from Rich Mullins's "Screen Door" from 1987. It's on youtube somewhere.

[@BenjiSun]

Anna said she learned it from Reddit on the Letterman interview.

[@LiovaElise]

Yes. No credits for these girls there.

[@RoanAndRoaming]

Look at the credits of Pitch Perfect. They are credited for the Cup Song, at least that's what I saw.

[@LiovaElise]

Oh yeah hallelujah. Endcredits. Because everybody watches the endcredits! How fucking fantastic! This is by the way the ONLY place you can find credits. Even when they asked Anna Kendrick about this song, all she said was 'found it on Reddit'.

[@zoehancock]

Just came back here to recover from Cruz (?) Beckham's version that I was foolish enough to click on! Thanks for the loveliness of this.

[@DavinciWhite]

Always nice to come back from time to time

[@kingdraoony2]

ok, I have a question: may I use this video? I am going to make a video using tons of different cup songs (or any that they let me use) I will credit you in the video, put a link to this video. I would love it if I could have permission you use this video in it.

[@taniyajackson2041]

Pitch Persect stole it!!

[@vestrocity9561]

Taniya Jackson No they fucking didn't. Anna Kendrick COVERED the song.

[@SaddleInTheRain]

I love this so much!

[@Goku-lv4to]

Well done. Great voices. I love it. 😍

[@kitaliapillay4552]

I can't believe how pitch perfect never even give them any credit😢😢😢😢

[@SuperButters90]

They did, literally in the credits at the end of the movie. It also says in the description of this video they got credit.

[@kitaliapillay4552]

@@SuperButters90 ok kwl😋thanks

Does everyone who hates Anna Kendrick for covering this song, also hate Joan Jett for covering 'I love rock n' roll', or hate Cyndi Lauper for covering 'Girls just want to have fun', or Soft Cell for covering 'Tainted Love', later also covered by Marilyn Manson? Lou Bega for covering 'Mambo No.5' or Whitney Houston for covering 'I will always love you'? It wouldn't be the first nor the last time some one's cover of a song outdone the original, and made it far more famous. Get over it. These people here didn't even write the song, (YUP, THIS IS ALSO A COVER VERSION) or invent the cup game, yet were still credited in Kendrick's film. Much ado about nothing, ignorant crusaders.

[@katyamazayn8612]

I only really hate copying of songs when the copyer doesn't mention that it's a copy, like pitch perfect, or Lily Allen with Somewhere only we know.

[@thotslayer1752]

Katy Amazayn Literally every song they do in Pitch perfect is a cover. No where do they state they made the songs

[@xItsmepatiix]

Katy Amazayn All the songs in the film are covers, and for your information Anna Kendrick has said in an interview with David letterman that she saw a video on the internet and thats how she learnt it and the producers put it into the film.

[@ryangeiger3173]

Oddie Yang dumbass the carters sobg "will u miss me when im gone is completely diffrent u was just looking up songs names compared . the lulus made the song anna just copied it because of the lack of lyrical creation.
