Yes, very cool.
As an aside, "The Tetris Theme" is actually a Russian folk song entitled "Korobeiniki."
Quote:
"Korobeiniki" (Russian: Коробейники, also romanized Korobeyniki) is a famous 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 Game Boy version of Tetris. However, Korobeiniki was written and published in 1861, a full 128 years before Tetris was released on the Game Boy. "Korobeiniki" is translated as "peddlers".
