Pig With The Face Of A Boy makes learning Russian history fun! Maybe for their next one they could do a song about the transcontinental railroad?

Did you know the site has over 4,000 video game themed lolz?
Making socialism fun!
Also, in Capitalist Russia, blocks arrange you.
brentalfloss approves!
Also:
Singer: "Can I have a long one please?"
Tetris God: "Nope."
Engineer: *stretchy neck*
And as if I haven't commented enough already, here's the lyrics. Copypasta from the guy's blog.
To Moscow I came seeking fortune
But they’re making me work til I’m dead
The bourgeoisie have it so easy
The Tsar’s putting gold on his bread
The people of Moscow are hungry
But think what a feast there could be
If we could create a socialist state
That cared for the people like me:
I am the man who arranges the blocks
That descend upon me from up above.
They come down and I spin them around
Til they fit in the ground like hand in glove.
Sometimes it seems that to move blocks is fine
And the lines will be formed as they fall --
Then I see that I have misjudged it!
I should not have nudged it after all.
Can I have a long one please?
Why must these infernal blocks tease?
I am the man who arranges the blocks
That continue to fall from up above.
Come Muscovite! Let the workers unite!
A collective regime of peace and love.
I work so hard in arranging the blocks
But the landlord and taxman bleed me dry
But the workers will rise! We will not compromise
For we know that the old regime must die.
Long live Lenin, kill the tsar!
We salute the sickle and star!
I am the man who arranges the blocks
That continue to fall from up above.
The food on your plate now belongs to the state
A collective regime of peace and love.
I have no choice in arranging the blocks
Under Bolshevik rule, what they say goes.
The rule of the game is we all are the same
And my blocks must create unbroken rows.
Long live Stalin! He loves you!
Sing these words, or you know what he’ll do…
I am the man who arranges the blocks
That are made by the men in Kazakhstan.
They come two weeks late and they don’t tessellate
But we’re working to Stalin’s five year plan.
I am the man who arranges the tanks
That will make all the Nazis keep away
The Fuhrer is dead, and Europe is Red!
Let us point all our guns at the USA.
We shall live forever more!
We can start a nuclear war!
I am the man who arranges the blocks
That are building a highly secret base.
Hip hip hurrah for the USSR!HIP
We are sending our men to outer space.
I work so hard in arranging the blocks
But each night I go home to my wife in tears --
What’s the point of it all, when you’re building a wall
And in front of your eyes it disappears?
Pointless work for pointless pay
This is one game I shall not play.
I am the man who arranges the blocks!
But tomorrow I think I’ll stay in bed.
The winter is cold, I’ve got plenty of gold
And I’m standing in line for a loaf of bread
Maybe we’d be better off
If we brought down Gorbachev
I am the man who arranges the blocks
That continue to fall from up above.
The markets are free! So much money for me!
Tell me, why should I care for peace and love?
The markets are free! So much money for me!
Tell me, why should I care for peace and love?
Peace and love, peace and love!
And now the wall is down, the Marxists frown
There’s foreign shops all over town
When in Red Square, well don’t despair
There’s Levi’s and McDonald’s there
The US gave us crystal meth
And Yeltsin drank himself to death
But now that Putin’s put the boot in,
Who’ll get in our way?
So we reject free enterprise
And once again the left will rise.
Prepare the flags to be unfurled
For we’re seceding from the world:
We shall regain the Georgian soil
We shall obtain the Arctic oil
We shall arrange the blocks and toil
Forever and a day.
Game over.
*Insert Soviet Russia joke here*
He has to make sure those blocks fall right on the Marx.
LIIIIIINEEEE PIEEEEEECEE
This might be one of the catchiest socialist songs ever.
Raise your hand if the lyrics "I am the man who arranges the blocks that continue to fall from up above" is now haunting your head.
What?
I'm going to go favorite this now.
I am the man who is rolling the ball
that collects all the filth up from the ground.
My net worth will grow, soon my father will show
sweet approval for son he now just found.
Candies, thumbtacks, on the floor
sweep them all up, craving more…
Somebody deserves all the internets we have available! That was beautiful… What? I'm not crying I just bleed clear blood out my eyes! The railroad song would sure be interesting but which transcontinental rail would it be? The CPR or the American rail? Or the monopoly railroads?
Dude… that was epic… this is one of the moments I can't make puns, it's just so awesome
This is why some people prefer America because their god gives them lemons not blocks.
"Why must these infernal blocks tease? "
The Tetris God is a cruel and angry god. Russians should know this by now.
In all seriousness, if someone said to me yesterday/today that I will see tommorow/today an epic tetris song (on par with Brentalfloss's version) I would tell them to GTFO and don't believe them… God, how much I would be mistaken…
I'm a Russian, and I approve of this video.
What is this i don't even!!
In Societ Russai, blocks shape YOU!
In Soviet Russia, blocks arrange you!
This… Was a triumph.
Man that was really well thought out, and entertaining!
So… are the blocks falling from the sky a metaphor for Russia's worker crushing their leaders and taking control of their society?
But seriously, green screen at 5:57 and 6:03.
Man. I love the theme of Tetris as it is.
And Soviet Union was my favorite subject in History. Never thought you could mix the two but man i am crazy about this song. All my favorite parts of history too. minus a few i guess.
And I hate history.
The epicness of this video has left me humorless, and in awe…. IOU one pun.
In soviet Russia, you are belong to base
Sorry guys, but no one of you haven't live in USSR and author of this video (AotV) too. For full standart picture of Russia in your head, AotV forget to put bear with vodka in left hand and balalayka in the right. You all and AotV do not know what life was and is in Russia, so this video is a piece of crap by americans for americans.
Sorry for my English.
being a russian i sense a lack of vodka in this video…
For the longest time, I thought the bit was "I am the man who arranges the tanks/to make Germany's front lines DIS-A-PPEAR."
I am the god that sends down all the blocks
That test mortals and their sense of symmetry
They work fast to slide them together
They should have never have ever questioned me.
Sometimes I give them blocks that will match
And they make a whole batch fit perfectly
Then I'll throw in a block they can't squeeze in
And it renders their pile quite obsolete
I will not listen to your pleas
You will get another LIIIIIINE PIECE!
in soviet russia the block arrange you!
That video is great. It made me look back on my history class with appreciation.
back in the USSR
In Soviet Russia…um…ah screw it, there are way too many of these anyway.
