Corachow, I have done what you asked :). The Ultimate Boss (talk) 03:33, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

The Ultimate Boss I just realised that the source cited here doesn't seem to be very reliable but in the article there are several good references backing the hooks up so I suggest using them, everything else seems fine to me. Corachow (talk) 13:17, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Corachow, how does the new source look now? The Ultimate Boss (talk) 06:22, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

The Ultimate Boss It’s good. Corachow (talk) 12:02, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote this, but I wonder why you find this hooky? People who have never heard of either song won't really care. I personally find it hooky that Kendrick taught herself how to do the cups by watching a viral video. Yoninah (talk) 21:02, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

• ALT2: ... that the song "Cups (When I'm Gone)", features Anna Kendrick playing percussion with a cup, a skill she learned by watching viral videos? --evrik ^(talk) 19:14, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: The Ultimate Boss has not responded to pings or a talk page notification so the review may need to continue without them. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 09:12, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

• OK. ALT2 is hooky, hook refs verified and cited inline. Rest of review per Corachow. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 10:24, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
