Tetris with Lyrics (Gameboy - A-type) Lyrics

(One-y and a two-ey and a-three and four)

Shapes made of four colored blocks
Like a T or a box
Come down like falling bricks
You can place them in rows
But everybody knows that they made this game for chicks (Hey!)

Mom just loves to flip and stack (flip and stack!)
Grandma says "This shit is like crack!" (Well, it is!)

This is the game girls deserve
There is no learning curve
Which makes it great for noobs (great for noobs!)
It will fill you with glee
Especially if you have a vag and boobs (Hey!)

Your mom loves it, mine does too (mine does too)
Call me sexist; bitch it's still true! (Just kidding about the bitch part)

Deep in the girl's dainty brain
There's a spot near a vein (Right here)
Which regulates their bliss (The T-spot)
Once they see falling blocks, the T-spot unlocks
And they start to sing like this (Sing!)
La la la la, la la la
We love Tetris, la la la la

Here is a trick I have learned
To avoid getting burned
When you piss off your chick (I’m so mad!)
If you sing this on key
Immediately she'll forget that you're a dick (Try it!)

La la la la (I'm still mad!) la la la (Is that the Tetris song?)
La la la la (I love Tetris!) la la la la (I'm happy now!)

Tetris helps when chicks want to neuter us (Snip, snip, snip)
If you love it
You prob'ly have a uterus!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

In “Tetris with Lyrics”, Brentalfloss adds lyrics to the famous theme from the video game Tetris. The lyrics primarily discuss how the game was made for women, due to the stereotype that women are bad at video games and Tetris having “no learning curve” according to Brent.

The music video was originally uploaded in 2008 and was the first “With Lyrics” video that put Brent on the map. Despite Brent getting flak for the lyrics being sexist, he has since acknowledged that the song hasn’t aged well, and that it doesn’t reflect him as a person now.

Genius Answer

As previously mentioned in the bio, Brent has expressed dissatisfaction with this song numerous times. Aside from acknowledging it hasn’t aged well and that he is a different person now, he has also said that at the time, it was not entirely written from a satirical standpoint.

Brent said in a now-deleted tweet:

I can frame Tetris [with Lyrics] as “a satire about douchebaggery” but at the time, I wrote it from an honest and antagonistic place. So to call it ironic leaves out the fact that it wasn’t entirely ironic to me back then.
