Pitch Perfect lyrics question

Question about a musical number from the movie Pitch Perfect. Contains spoilers.

The movie's final performance is a medley of "Price Tag", "Don't You", "Give Me Everything", with minor contributions from "Just the Way You Are", "Party in the U.S.A." and "Turn the Beat Around". At 3:14 into the video the Bellas repeat something twice while circling their upper bodies, right before launching back into "Don't You".

What are they repeating? Is it a lyric from any of the songs that were mashed up into this piece or is it some non-linguistic vocalization?

Best answer: "I put my hands u-u-up" repeated twice is what I hear, which is a lyric from Miley Cyrus's "Party in the USA" ("So I put my hands up, they're playing my song, the butterflies fly away...").

Miley Cyrus, I put my hands up.

Yep. It's "Hands u-u-u-up / I put my hands u-u-u-up", echoing Part in the USA.
