Name that tune?

[knobby]

Can anyone tell me the name of this tune please? I know I’ve heard it before, possibly in a movie or TV program but can’t place it.
Thanks

Thank you!
I knew it was in a movie I’d seen - from Wikipedia:
“The song is the third one heard at the beginning of Cast Away, an American movie starring Tom Hanks, right after Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" and "All Shook Up".”

I always found it amusing that Hans Rippert managed to pass himself off as Russian to Germans. His pronunciation is so German, and so is his face.

To me, a child of the 80's and 90's video games scene, that's the theme from Tetris!

The original Tetris theme was Korobeiniki, but maybe that was used too.

Today in string ensemble practice, we got handed a Humoresque from Dvořák and it took me a while to figure out why I knew it. "Pooyan", an arcade game.

Hah hah! I recall that one too. Probably one of the myriad spinoffs on a dozen platforms I have played it on used the song in this thread, the latest on a Quest 3 in VR (Tetris Effect - Connected) that is just flat-out amazing! I probably have purchased Tetris a dozen times over the years.

Although he was German and they say he has errors in his Russian dialect, Ivan Rebroff is always a listening pleasure to me. In the 70's he was very famous. They were saying there are only two people in the world with this voice capabilities, the other was Yma Sumac, from Peru but American.
