Korobeiniki
For the poem by Nikolai Nekrasov, see Korobeiniki (poem).
Simple arrangement of Korobeiniki melody
"Korobeiniki" (Russian: Коробейники, lit. Peddlers) is a nineteenth-century Russian folk song that tells of a meeting between a peddler and a girl, describing their haggling over goods in a veiled metaphor for courtship.
Outside Russia, "Korobeiniki" is widely known as the "Tetris theme song", from its appearance in Nintendo's 1989 version of the game. It is also known as the "Tetris Type-A", since it appeared in the game mode.
