Overall Meaning

"Pop Muzik" by M is a pop song that celebrates the power and appeal of popular music. The lyrics invite listeners to forget about the mundane aspects of life and immerse themselves in the joyous and infectious rhythms of pop music. The song is a tribute to the universal language of popular music, which transcends national and cultural boundaries and brings people together.


The song is structured around a catchy chorus that repeats the phrase "pop muzik" over and over again. The verse lyrics use a series of puns and wordplay to evoke the different aspects of pop culture. For example, the first line of the verse refers to "radio, video," which were the two dominant media for disseminating music in the early 1980s. The second line, "boogie with a suitcase," suggests a sense of mobility and nomadism that was associated with dance culture at the time. The third line, "go living in a disco," is a nod to the hedonistic lifestyle associated with disco music, while the fourth line, "forget about the rat race," encourages listeners to escape the pressures of work and embrace the pleasures of leisure.

@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.

@serendavies7375
