------------------------

"Korobeiniki" (Russian: Коробейники, English translation: Peddlers) is a nineteenth-century Russian folk song that tells of an incident between a peddler and a girl "haggling" over a price, with the details only being said in metaphor. In western culture, the song is primarily known for being used as the "Type A" music in the 1989 Game Boy version of the puzzle game Tetris.

History

The song "Korobeiniki" is based on a poem with the same name by Nikolay Nekrasov, written and printed in the Sovremennik magazine in 1861. Due to its increasing tempo and the dance style associated with it, it quickly became a popular Russian folk song.

Korobeiniki were peddlers with trays, selling fabric, haberdashery, books and other small things in pre-revolutionary Russia. Nekrasov's poem is a sad story about the love between a peasant girl, Katya, and a young peddler.

Modern cover versions

"Korobeiniki" was re-arranged in 1989 by Hirokazu Tanaka and used as the "Type A" music in the Game Boy version of Tetris. It has since become closely associated with the game in Western popular culture. In 2008, UGO listed the song as the 3rd best videogame music of all time. Though Tetris Holding LLC holds a sound trademark on the song for use in video games, the song has appeared in Dance Maniax 2nd Mix under the title "Happy-hopper".
