How have we gone this long without doing a Tetris music, you might ask? Well, truth be told, the whole idea seemed a little uninteresting to us. While we can't deny the inherent catchiness of the classic puzzler theme, most of the hundreds of video covers of the tune on YouTube are simple transcriptions for the piano or guitar. Booooring.So for this week, we've dug up some traditional Tetris music played on some less-than-traditional musical instruments. Please enjoy these clips of the Tetris theme as performed on accordion, mandolin and the human head. That's right... the human head.

One question - where the hell did you find a pic of the NES version of Tetris with a Mattel logo on it? Unless I came from an alternate dimension, Mattel had nothing to do with the version of Tetris I had on the NES growing up.

Ozma does the best version of the Tetris song. I wish I could find a video to show you guys, but no digital camera in the world has speakers powerful enough to capture the rawk that is Osma!

Someone find a link to the bit from Borat where he sung that Tetris/Russian Folk song in the Jewish couple's Bed & Breakfast!

Erm... I'm pretty sure that last one was fake... the motion of his hands aren't even *nearly* synched up with the precussion sounds.
