So... this is a song I've had in my head for a while. I know not why, and I know not whence it comes. All I know is that I've heard it before and it won't leave me alone. I think it's a popular song. My sister, Abigail, knows how to do the Cups beat (is that what to call it?), and will probably start practicing it once she sees this post.
You know, a couple nights ago, the idea occurred to me of what might happen if I combined this song with a certain other popular song from--I think it was 1984. The results seemed rather interesting, and definitely something strange. I may make a video of it... someday... a long time...from...now... *ahem* But there'll be time enough to show you that once it's done.
For now, I'll just show you this version. The actual song begins at around 1:15--well, the Cups beat starts there, which is the beginning of the song. The song is called... either You're Gonna Miss Me, When I'm Gone, or just Cups. I think it's Cups. Anyway, here it is!

I got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle o' whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow--what d'you say?
(chorus #1)
When I'm gone
When I'm go-one
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
(chorus #2)
When I'm gone
When I'm go-one
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
**
I got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers
It's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you
(chorus #2)

(chorus #1)
When I'm gone
When I'm go-oh-oh-one
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my ha-air
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're sure gonna miss me when I'm gone
(chorus #2)
When I'm gone
When I'm go-one
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
