M Factor

"Pop Muzik" is a 1979 song by M, a project by the English musician Robin Scott, from his debut studio album New York • London • Paris • Munich. The song was accompanied by a well-received music video (directed by Brian Grant) showing Scott as a DJ behind an exaggerated turntable setup, at times flanked by two female models who sang and danced in a robotic manner. The video also featured Scott's then-partner Brigit Novik, who provided the backup vocals for the track. "M Factor", the song's B-side, featured in two different versions. The initial UK and European release featured the original cut of the song, but a slightly remixed version was released in the US and Canada. "Pop Muzik" reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, and number two on the UK singles chart.

I want to hold get back
Moonlight muzak
