"'''Korobeiniki'''" is the third track and lead single off of ''[[The Doubble Donkey Disc]]'' by [[Ozma]]. It is an adaptation of a nineteenth-century Russian folk song of the same name, and it is one of the band's most recognizable songs. It is perhaps best known under the name "'''Tetris'''." | |||
The lyrics of the original "Korobeiniki" tell the story of a meeting between a peddler and a girl, describing their haggling over goods in a metaphor for courtship. The song is most well-known outside of Russia for its inclusion in various versions of the video game ''[[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]]'', most notably the arrangement by [[Wikipedia:Hirokazu_Tanaka|Hirokazu Tanaka]] for the [[Wikipedia:Tetris_(Game_Boy_video_game)|Game Boy version]] of ''Tetris''. Both the ''Tetris'' and Ozma arrangements of the song are instrumentals. | |||
