* Happy-hopper is a happy hardcore arrangement of two folk songs. The beginning and ending are based on Korobeiniki, a 19th century Russian folk song based on a poem by Nikolay Nekrasov. Korobeiniki is most widely known for its usage in the ''Tetris'' video game series. The middle section is based on Mayim Mayim, an Israeli folk song composed by Emanuel Amiran-Pougatchov in the 1930's. Mayim Mayim's folk dance was introduced to Japan during post-war reconstruction as a form of community-building exercise, and it became a well-known song that has since appeared in a variety of Japanese television shows, movies, and video games (including Konami's ''Sexy Parodius'').
