[Ampersand]

We need to get Deon to sing it.

[ECrownofFire]

I saw this a while ago, I was going to post something about it, but I forgot. It's a cool video though.

[smigenboger]

Yeah, it's been linked a few times now, but it's still great.

I find myself singing it at work all the time.  I work for UPS, stacking boxes in trucks.  Every night, I have to suppress the urge to shout "I am the man who arranges the blocks!" or "pointless work for pointless pay", and I'd love to have a t-shirt for it.

I also have a job arranging the blocks, which descend upon me from the conveyor. I take them down, and I spin them around, trying to find the accursed SKU.

I am the man who arranges the stacks, but each night I go home to my dog in tears, "What's the point of it all when you're building a wall and into the truck it disappears."

[Jackrabbit]

Boring work for average pay
When I get home video games will monopolize my day

[smigenboger]

I just noticed the nazi symbol on Europe turns into L blocks.

[Tack]

I almost watched it once... And now I'm very glad you linked it.

sometimes it seems, that to move blocks is fine


Yep. That's going to be my next project after Waiting for Godot.

[DJ]

This is awesome. I love how many metaphors he uses blocks for.

[Jervous]

I can sing the entire song irl. Yeah it's awesome

[ZhangC1459]

That is amazing

[Retro]

The first time I listened it didn't grab me. But then I listened again. And again. And again and again and again and again and again POOOOOOINTLESS WOOOOOORK FOOOOR POOOOOINTLESSSSSSS PAAAAAAAAAAAY

[Aqizzar]

Be damned if the song isn't exactly like Tetris, eh?

[ChairmanPoo]

If we could create...
a socialist state...
that cared for the people....
like me...

[Ottofar]

I think I woke up the whole house. I was chuckling to myself all the time, but the Stalin part cracked me up.

[Ampersand]

Full Lyrics as best I can make them out.


To Moscow I came seeking Fortune
But they're making me work 'til I'm dead
The Bourgeoisie have it so easy
The Tzar'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 Moscow fight, Let the workers Unite
A collective regime of Peace and Love

I work so hard in arranging the blocks
But the landlord and tax man 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 Tzar
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 says 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 Nazi's 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
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
Peaaaace and looooveee

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, Cause we're succeeding from the world

We shall regain the Georgian soil, we shall obtain the Arctic oil,
We shall arrange the blocks in toil, forever and a day

Game over

Why must ??(unintelligible)?? funnel blocks 'T's

That's "Why must these infernal blocks tease?".

Moscow fight

Probably "Moscovites".
