  • Now in HD!!! Official remastered HD video for M - Pop Muzik. Pop Muzik was one of the first new wave singles to top the charts including in the US, Australia and West Germany. The single's popularity was bolstered by this catchy video - the first from renowned video and film director Brian Grant - that featured Robin Scott (AKA M) as a DJ singing from behind turntables, and flanked by two female models providing the additional vocals... Or do they? One of the sight gags in the video depicted Brigit Novik dressed in blue who actually recorded the backup vocals which were mimed by the models. The song went on to have global success and had "everybody talkin' 'bout Pop Muzik". The original clip from1979. Boogie in a suitcase. Pop, pop, pop muzik.

    I was in high school when this came out. Having been there, I'd say that 1979 was the year that New Wave began to break big on mainstream Top 40 radio. In an era when bands like The Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Journey and REO Speedwagon , as well as disco, ruled the charts, this song, and others by The Cars, Gary Numan, Sniff N' the Tears ETC, sounded like something out of a flying saucer from another planet. This was the bleeding edge of cool. This was the future! All these years later it still sounds fresh and new.

      Huge fan of 70/80’s New Wave. I was 3 when this song came out. However, by the time Duran Duran blew up, I fell in love with this genre. This song is no exception to pure excellence!
