This Russian-language song is credited to Olezha Obukhov and takes school as its subject, turning ordinary stationery into the centre of its chorus. The words move from notebooks in squares and lines to notebooks in circles and a pie, a list that makes the song easy to remember and easy to quote. Shared online as a school-themed clip, it is picked up for back-to-school posts, classroom jokes and nostalgic edits about homework and the start of term. Its charm lies in that simple, childlike humour, which keeps the school theme recognisable for listeners who do not know the song.
About this sound
Tetradki v Kletochku is a Russian school song by Olezha Obukhov about checkered and lined notebooks, often used in nostalgic school and classroom videos.
This is a full, roughly one-minute Russian song about school life, built around a simple, singalong chorus listing notebooks in squares, lines, circles and even a pie shape. Olezha Obukhov sings in a light, cheerful, almost childlike style over a bright, bouncy backing track, with the repeated notebook words turning into an easy earworm. The mood is playful rather than serious, so it feels like a classroom joke set to music, instantly familiar to anyone who remembers school stationery, homework and the first days of September. Played aloud, it tends to make listeners smile, hum along and picture a noisy, happy classroom.
