Old Tetris cover I did. Completly free to use.
I only ask that you notify me if using it. Comments here are fine.

It isn't public domain if you require to be notified here. I know that sounds pedantic, but it's true. You should rephrase to, "I only ask that you notify me if using it - comments here are fine."
You make a good point. Thank you.
It is very good. I have made a tetris game albeit it is bitrotten and forgotten. This inspires me to revive it. I will let you know if/when that happens as I'll use this music.
Been looking for game music to make my youtube videos less boring. Will use.

In terms of licensing, I am a little uneasy about this. The chiptune rendition of what is commonly known as the Tetris melody is trademarked, but the tune of the music itself is classical and therefore not copyrighted. If the word "Tetris" is not used, this still sounds much like the original Tetris music, which could therefore be an infringement if used commercially, especially in a game. In the case of somebody's YouTube video, it doesn't matter, but if this were mass-distributed as part of another product then I would be concerned about the legal situation. Perhaps somebody else can clear this up.
There are no credits needed so you don't have to worry about what i named it.
poinl, the licensing issue is not on your end since you marked the tune as CC0 thereby voiding your copyright, but this is unmistakably Tetris music even though the melody and your rendition of it are in the public domain, and there exist trademarks and other such nonsense around the Tetris IP. What constitutes a trademark violation is not for you to decide. You're in the clear, as is anyone who would use this tune in a cutscene or as ironic counterpoint or in a non-commercial game, but then there is that whole other legal area of somebody potentially making a Tetris clone using this music, which would be suable. You see my point? It's a more complicated issue than simply saying something is public domain. After all, you named it "Twister Tetris" and I'm sure somebody who's heard this beautiful rendition probably wants to put it in some app with an uncanny similarity to Tetris, but they can't can't do that, and it wouldn't be for copyright reasons but rather that they were infringing a brand.
As per your request, here's the game I used your song in. It's a free, FunHaus themed game. It's also a novelty game so if you don't know who FunHaus is you probably won't enjoy it nearly as much as their fans.
Edit: I should point out FunHaus's type of comedy is very tongue in cheek, sometimes done for shock value. So it's not for everybody, especially kids.

Thank you for making CC0 licensed assets. You can't imagine how much it helps to have these resources. :)
"the tune of the music itself is classical and therefore not copyrighted"
There are no credits needed so there is no need to cite the name of the song.
As you requested, I would like to notify you about possibly using this song in an up coming video I am producing. For reference, I am planning on producing a review on Tetris, and I feel that this song with do just fine. Most likely this song will end up in the final product. Anyway, this song is very nice, and I myself enjoyed listening to it.

Great music, thanks for making it available under a CC license!

Thank you for sharing!
Using it on my project.
This is great! I'm using your track for a falling-blocks game that I'm making mostly for learning purposes. I might post the game somewhere to get comments and advice, but I doubt it would be a big seller. :) Thanks for making this.
Great job
I'm using it in my android game called zeptris

Awesome remix of the classic Tetris song. I will be using it in a few Tetris-like games.
Thank you Poinl i will be using this in a tetris game.
Super cool stuff. I used your track in the gmtk gamejam for a numbers tetris game :D
Hey there! Thank you for sharing the music; I'm using this in my game Tetrisweeper!
This has been here for nearly ten years, and there was nothing done to change the name. Regardless of whether it's CC0 or not, the 'Tetris' part of the name must be changed.
Oh, I didn't know about this one. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
No problem.
