"When I'm Gone" also commonly known by its longer title "You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone", is a popular song written by A. P. Carter[1] and was recorded in 1931 by the Carter Family.
Versions and adaptations
The song was later recorded by J. E. Mainer's Mountaineers and by Charlie Monroe.[2]
- Adaptations
- In 2009, the band Lulu and the Lampshades combined the song "When I'm Gone" with a common children's game known as the Cup game, in which plastic or styrofoam cups are tapped and hit on a table to create a distinct rhythm. This created the modern version of the song known as "Cups (When I'm Gone)" or alternately "When I'm Gone (Cups)".
- In 2011 Anna Burden uploaded a version of the song on YouTube that then went viral and became the inspiration for Anna Kendrick's version "Cups (Pitch Perfect's "When I'm Gone")". The Kendrick version has become a charting hit in the United States, and other charts. It also served as the official song of the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[citation needed]
