Tetris theme gets retrofitted with lyrics

by Justin McElroy { Dec 15th 2008 at 1:10PM }

A lot of girls love Tetris.

See, that right there is why we're bloggers and not songwriters: An idea that we can only drum up seven syllables on is enough for YouTube's brentalfloss to write a complete set of lyrics to the soundtrack permanently etched in all our psyches: "Korobeiniki."

Be forewarned: This isn't for kids nor the workplace, and some may find it a touch offensive. But we're almost certain he's got his tongue planted firmly in his cheek. Almost. ... His tongue's in his cheek, right?

Not nearly amusing enough.

Quit your day job Fred Durst.

I can't stand this guy. He's such an attention whore. He made one mildly-amusing video about Mega Man and now he's determined to ride it for all it's worth.

Eric H @ Dec 15th 2008 1:40PM

I take it this is your first YouTube video.

Roto13 @ Dec 15th 2008 1:43PM

This guy is even more shameless and attention whorish than the average YouTuber.

Haggard @ Dec 15th 2008 2:45PM

Hay guyz come look at my vlo..

Oh, I see. Non-believers.

I like Tetris and I'm a guy. WHAT THEN?!?

Wiinterfang @ Dec 15th 2008 1:47PM

Guy..Girl..Guy..Girl..GAY.

Ben Dejo @ Dec 15th 2008 1:33PM

He is an OU fan. That says enough.

Weird Al doesn't have to swear.

Poopie mouth!

Brett @ Dec 15th 2008 1:39PM

You people are stupid and all of the songs you made suck compared to this one.

Dan Bugglin @ Dec 15th 2008 1:41PM

Err... Tetris songs are from Russia. AFAIK they do have lyrics already. In Russian.

Bakkster @ Dec 15th 2008 2:30PM

You are correct:

True story. I sang the original song with a choir while I was in college

Tiptup300 @ Dec 15th 2008 2:09PM

...

heh?

Squeak @ Dec 15th 2008 2:19PM

Ugh.

I immediately regret watching that.

Plus, I'd take Pokemon Puzzle Challenge or Bust A Move over Tetris any day.

Covarr @ Dec 15th 2008 2:45PM

This guy obviously hasn't played a Tetris the Grand Master game. Also, he appears to be a dumbass.

threetildawn @ Dec 15th 2008 3:03PM

I like this kind of thing. More retrofitted songs:

Hey Apples @ Dec 15th 2008 3:22PM

I feel dumber for watching that.

AwesomeTown @ Dec 15th 2008 3:58PM

I did not find that funny at all.

Mike @ Dec 15th 2008 4:22PM

Joystiq: Every time you feel the urge grace content of this quality with a blog post (as you do from time to time), just stop for a minute and think.

Or at least sneak the words "Jonathan Blow" into the headline somewhere so I can know to immediately move on without wasting time.

GatorSax2010 @ Dec 15th 2008 4:25PM

I really like his Mega Man 3 song. This one... Not so much.

Also, I noticed his OU hat... Lame.

Mark @ Dec 15th 2008 4:33PM

This guy is the poster child for "waste of oxygen." Could we please free up the resources he uses for life and re-allocate them to people that actually deserve them?

GohanGVO @ Dec 15th 2008 6:18PM

Haters be damned. I lol'd.

gst @ Dec 15th 2008 10:46PM

Oh, um, so the new cool thing to do is to hate on this guy...? Well, okay.

---Dude, that sucked and was horrible and not funny. God what an attention whore, not like all those youtube videos made by people who I think are funny. Like, the attention THEY want is not whorish...its pure, chaste attention.---

There well that was fun. Nice to ride on the bandwagon with ya'll.
