STAR song test: Anna Kendrick's cup trick from 'Pitch Perfect' (Video)

By STAR Staff Published: May 21, 2013 at 10:19 AM PDT

After seeing a YouTube video featuring the trick, actress Anna Kendrick decided to spend an afternoon learning to do it herself. Then, when she was cast in the musical film "Pitch Perfect," the directors urged her to put it to use. But what basically started as a party trick now has dozens of copycat videos, in addition to the actual music video for the song, which has close to 10,000,000 views on YouTube.

Watch Anna explaining how she learned the trick, and performing it live for David Letterman.

Does the song have radio power? Let us know if we should add it to the rotation. You can weigh in in the comments section or give your opinion on Facebook or Twitter.

I would be more than willing to join you and I'll even bring my Hawaiian painted Ukelele and play some Rock-n-Roll on it! I believe it would be fun to "Catch A Wave While Sitting On Top Of The World"!
