The source video I used to create this one is here:    • M - Pop Muzik (Official HD Video)  
That was the best-quality upload of this music video I could find online. I have replaced the audio track with a high-quality one, and this involved speeding up the footage slightly, as it was running a bit too slow compared to the HQ audio track I am using. The footage comes to an end before the music does, so to accompany the very ending of the song, I have put up on screen a picture of the single as released in the UK. The source video was also slightly out-of-sync, with the picture running a bit late compared to the sound, so I have fixed that. I have also upscaled the resolution from 480p to 1080p, as this increases the bitrate, which slightly improves picture quality at all the different resolution settings the viewer can select and allows for the highest-quality audio, but please be aware that playing it at the 1080p setting is not going to make it look as good as a true 1080p video. I have also added optional subtitles for the lyrics.

This song was written by Robin Scott. This track was produced by Robin Scott, and was released in 1979. According to Wikipedia, this single went to No. 1 in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Europe, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, the USA and West Germany, and reached No. 2 in Austria, Ireland and their native UK, No. 3 in Belgium, the Netherlands and New Zealand, and No. 12 in France.

An official presentation of the lyrics to this song is to be found on the back of the picture sleeve for the Japanese release of the single, a picture of which can be seen here: https://www.discogs.com/release/28956...
This was the only place that I could find an official presentation of the lyrics, and it clearly contains some errors. Presented below and as optional subtitles in the video is my own transcript of the lyrics, for which I have used that official presentation as a guide. Please be aware that it may not be 100% accurate.

Lyrics:

"Pop Muzik"

- M

(Words and Music by Robin Scott)

(Pop, pop, pop muzik)
(Pop, pop, pop muzik)
Turn it up

Get down
(Pop, pop, pop muzik)
(Pop, pop, pop muzik)

Radio, video
Boogie with a suitcase
You're living in a disco
Forget about the rat race
Let's do the milkshake
It's selling like a hot cake
Try some, buy some
Fee-fi-fo-fum

Talk about pop muzik
Talk about pop muzik

(Shoobie doobie doo-wop)
I wanna dedicate it
(Bop bop shoo-wop)
Everybody made it
(Shoobie doobie doo-wop)
Infiltrate it
(Bop bop shoo-wop)
Activate it

New York, London, Paris, Munich
Everybody talk about pop muzik

Talk about pop muzik
Talk about pop muzik
(Pop, pop) Pop muzik
(Pop, pop) Pop muzik

Singin' in the subway
Shuffle with a shoeshine
Mix me a Molotov
I'm on the headline
Wanna be a gunslinger
Don't be a rock singer
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Which-a way you wanna go

Talk about pop muzik
Talk about pop muzik

(Shoobie doobie doo-wop)
Right in betweenie
(Bop bop shoo-wop)
Eeny, meeny
(Shoobie doobie doo-wop)
Right in betweenie
(Bop bop shoo-wop)
You know what I meanie

Hit it
Now you know what to say

(Pop) Talk about (Pop muzik)
(Pop) Talk about (Pop muzik)
(Pop, pop) Pop muzik
(Pop, pop) Pop muzik

All around the world
Wherever you are
Dance in the street
Anything you like
Do it in your car
In the middle of the night

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Dance in the supermart
Dig it in the fast lane
Listen to the countdown
They're playin' our song again
I kind'a get jumping jack
I wanna hold get back
Moonlight muzak
Knick-knack paddywhack

Talk about pop muzik
Talk about pop muzik

(Shoobie doobie doo-wop)
It's all around you
(Bop bop shoo-wop)
They wanna surround you
(Shoobie doobie doo-wop)
It's all around you
(Bop bop shoo-wop)
Hit it

New York, London, Paris, Munich
Everybody talk about, hmm, pop muzik

Talk about pop muzik
(Pop) Pop, pop muzik
(Pop, pop) Pop muzik
(Pop, pop) Pop muzik

Now
Listen
Talk about (Pop, pop, pop muzik)
Talk about (Pop, pop, pop muzik)
Talk about
The fever
(Pop, pop) Pop muzik
(Pop, pop) Pop muzik

Do you read me
Loud and clear
Take it down (Pop, pop, pop muzik)
Take it down (Pop, pop, pop muzik)
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, talk about (Pop, pop, pop muzik)
Wandering around (Pop, pop, pop muzik)
Upside down
