"Pop Muzik" by M. is a bubbly and catchy synth-pop song that celebrates the power of popular music to unify people across the world. The lyrics describe a world where people forget about their worries and dance to the beat of the music, whether they are in a subway, a disco, a supermarket, or a car. The song suggests that pop music is a universal language that can break down barriers and bring people together, regardless of their background or culture. The verses are filled with playful wordplay and witty one-liners that evoke the carefree spirit of the late '70s and early '80s, when the song was released. The chorus features a repeated refrain of "Pop, pop, pop muzik," which is easy to sing and dance along to.
The song opens with a call to action to "get up" and move to the beat of the music. The verses describe different scenarios where people can enjoy pop music, such as boogieing with a suitcase, selling like hotcakes, or singing in the subway. The chorus emphasizes the infectious quality of pop music, as everybody around the world talks about it and dances to it. The bridge features a playful section where nonsensical words are mixed with a catchy melody, adding to the sense of fun and spontaneity of the song. The outro repeats the refrain of the chorus while adding more urgency to the message of the song, as if the singer is inviting the listener to join the global party of pop music and let go of their inhibitions.
Overall, "Pop Muzik" is a joyful and memorable song that captures the spirit of its era and celebrates the power of music to unite people. Its simple but effective lyrics, upbeat melody, and electronic instrumentation make it a classic of the synth-pop genre.

@ChadtheHammer
Eighties music was so epic it had to start in 1979.
@80ssynthfan48
1979 is "honorary 80s" to me.
@Sum_Yousah
1978 actually: "Die Roboter" by Kraftwerk
@Sum_Yousah
"Roboter", "Are Friends Electric", "Cars", "Video Killed The Radio Star" and "Pop Muzik" are songs that were WAY ahead of their time!
@zerep11
Yes indeed. I remember watching the videos on "Video Concert Hall" on PBS way before MTV was a twinkle.
@queenswarthamaniharrington992
Check out New Zealand band Misex for another good band from this genre/ time. "Computer Games" is a good start.
