message: Is there a possibility of linking to a website that has a better sample of the song? The one provided at the website is full of distortion. Being able to clearly hear the lyrics should be taken into consideration. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.169.138.40 (talk) 08:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anybody know how the trademark was acquired for a song composed in 1861 (at the latest). Are Russian laws different? I figured it would be public domain at this point.--SkiDragon 16:53, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Anyone know what it is called and who made it?
It has guitar and horns in it if that helps (horns are the main instrument.  Ive been told that the type of music it is is called lounge music.
I am dieing to find it so I can listen to it without having to go on CS:S.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.121.254 (talk) 09:19, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The Russian word gaving name to this article's subject transliterates to English as korobeinik.  It's a common, well-known transliteration; there are few, if any, alternatives going around.
According to the standard plural formation rules of the English language, the plural of korobeinik is korobeiniks.  I fixed the oversight by the original writer, thinking it would be obvious.  Yet, somebody keeps changing the article to be grammatically wrong.  Why? ΔιγουρενΕμπρος! 23:20, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  If someone lacks knowledge of the Russian language, this is not my business. FYI, It's a norm to translitarate Russian words which are usually used in plural without -s in the end in English. See, e.g., Valenki, Pelmeni, etc. Beatle Fab Four (talk) 00:26, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The article isn't about korobeiniks. It's about a song titled "Korobeiniki". It's referred to by that title even by English speakers. 91.105.62.77 (talk) 22:08, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The accompanying article was implicitly cited on the NPR show Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me! today (i think not a rebroadcast, since Susan Boyle is mentioned). The question was about the lyrics of the Tetris music. (The contestant was apparently thrown off by "oy" -- as was i: it sounded too Yiddish to me; as i think Yiddish speakers are likely to say, "Who knew?") The first two lines of the last stanza of the translation were quoted as choice A of the multiple-choice question, and the question-poser said "We got it from Wikipedia, so it must be true."

message: This may not be readily apparent to most people but Korobeiniki and Tetris's Song A are not quite the same melody . They are very, very close and have many notes in common.  Tetris is clearly based on it, but there are differences.  The most important is the first few notes, which I will try to explain in lay terms. Korobeiniki ascends from a low note to a high in the first three, while Tetris starts on a high->low->mid.  For example, one arrangement I have of Korobeiniki is E, G#, B and goes dotted quarter, eighth, dotted quarter.  Whereas Tetris in most arrangements goes E, B, C; quarter, eighth, eighth.
Based on this, the sheet music posted as a picture on this article appears to be bogus.  The file is titled "Lyrics of "Korobeiniki" (AKA Tetris "Type A")" and attributed to Nikolay Nekrasov.  This picture does not contain "lyrics" and clearly is not the work of Nekrasov, who wrote the poem; he did not compose the melody.  The melody depicted is also that of Tetris, not Korobeiniki.  I can transcribe the actual melody to Korobeiniki if requested, but I am only moderately experienced in using composition software.Legitimus (talk) 15:12, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
