It being brought to my attention that one of the wonderful soundtrack pieces (a Leitmotif, no less.) of the brilliant game Cave Story was based on a culturally significant piece of music, oh internet, the inter-connected-ness of things astounds me, even to this day.
@Frintu72 Other games did it for me, too. Thanks to Lemmings I know "Ten Green Bottles" and because of Super Dodge Ball I found Katyusha and Sakura Sakura
@elementalpowerstar A lot of English-speaking people only first learned of this (really awesome and catchy) folk tune through Cave Story, like how they first learned of Korobeniki through Tetris.
@GherkiKnight After you escape the Labyrinth (Defeated the Island's core and can return to the Sand Zone) Jenka replaces the Life Potion if you've used it. She will do this as long as you're at a point that you can return to her (i.e. any point between escaping the labyrinth and before the final boss fight.)
@BlatteSvartskallsson this song is in a game called "cave story" this song is used in it as a theme for a person who needs you to get back her puppies
Painfully slow! Not a Letkajenkka! I hope the people in the picture were jenkka'eing a little faster and having some fun!

It's really sad that this song is full of comments about Cave Story. But honestly, it's such a great game, it kinda makes up for it.

@elementalpowerstar Heh, it just makes me happy that the game was able to teach me such an odd piece of classic folk music.
