Video games use classical music from obscure sources all the time. Zombies ate my Neighbors (one of my favorites) used the old Latin chant 'Dies Irae' for the castle music.
The whole "in sowjet russia, tetris plays you" is actually right in this case, because Korobeiniki is a russion folk song and was there looong before anyone invented tetris XD So there.
@GeckosUnlimited What kind of comment is this? "... needs to go back to school."
You really think schools are going to teach us about the evolution and creation of Tetris? Although it would be cool, but still your comment doesn't make any sense.
@Xavier0219 It's common knowledge, but if its america most of the population needs to go back to school, though not american school becuase their education system is currently piss poor
@JCrimson98 you see? the kids, they listen to the rap,which gives them the brain damage. you see?!?! with there hippin and the hoppin and the bippin and the boppin so they don't know what the jazz is all about... YOU SEE!?!?!?!
u guys are talking about an orchestra, but all I see when I watch this is Marth fighting a bunch of Links and MetaKnights in the most epic sword fight this puny world's ever seen XD
Someday, I will earn enough money and go to Russia. There, I will go to a concert everyday. For now, though, thank whoever's up on the clouds for youtube >.<
Oh, and look, about 15 people can't clear more than one line at tetris.
if your not the likeing this then your not the playing of the tetris, so be likeing or no be liking i be liking and usually im not be the talkingk like this but the musik be makingk me be the happy so for u im sorry if your not be the likeingk
@CapyGuy I am the man who arranges the blocks that descend upon me from up above/They come down and I spin them around 'till they fit in the ground like hand in glove...
Awesome music, wonderful domra and balalaika playing, unbelievable! What a tasteful orchestra.
And one information for stupid western Americans and Englishmen: Korobeiniki is from the 19th century, it is a composition, which was also played in the 1920's by German Wandervögel and from the Bündische Jugend. The text to the music deals with a street vendor and a dark haired Katja. It is a tune, which is played a lot for dancing and it is loved for the tempo, which is getting faster.
"And one information for stupid western Americans and Englishmen: Korobeiniki is from the 19th century, it is a composition, which was also played in the 1920's by German Wandervögel and from the Bündische Jugend"
But if I moved across the Louisiana border to Mississippi, wouldn't that make me an eastern American?
@Hommerdk or "The Church of Tetris", where people follow Tetrisis which is the god that decide which pieces who comes, and can change the speed whenever he wants, a god indeed, ALL HAIL TETRISIS!
I wouldn't be able to play in that orchestra with a straight face.
