So... If you have heard of the cup song, and wanted to know how to do it, here is a tutorial on how do the cup part! :)
I have spilt it into two parts because it sounds WAY better if you 'split' it!
:)ENJOY!(:
Follow me please and leave comments :D

Step 1: You Will Need:

A cup (no duh)
And a iPod to play the music on either when you get really good or to check if you're doing it right.
I will teach you the song in two parts and will tell you when each part is over. When you do it in two parts it sounds better!
:) enjoy :)

Step 2: Clap Clap

Okay so the first thing you need to do is to clap twice above the cup!
so....
CLAP CLAP

Step 3: Tap Tap Tap

Now you need to tap on the cup 3 times with alternate hand each time like: tap (right) tap (left) tap (right) OR tap (left) tap (right) tap (left)
Now put it all together:
CLAP CLAP
TAP TAP TAP

Step 4: Clap

This part is easy! Clap once

Step 5: Pick Up and Move
