M | Pop Muzik | Pop, pop, pop muzik Pop, pop, pop muzik | "Pop Muzik" was a #1 song for one week in November 1979, it actually became a #1 song in the states before peaking there in M's homeland of Britian (a very rare exception to that rule). M's real name is Robin Scott who was born on April 1, 1947 in Craydon, London and whose career spans four decades. The first line though are sung by backup singer, Brigit Novik. Also playing on this tune are bassist Julian Scott (Robin's brother), keyboardist Wally Badarou and Canadian programmer, John Lewis. M (or Robin Scott) was leading the way to the new wave music of the 1980's and the tune is often found in 1980's compilation, although it was definitely a #1 in 1979. - Peter | |||

Madonna | Lucky Star | You must be my lucky star 'Cause you shine on me wherever you are | In the fall of 1984, "Lucky Star" followed on the heels of Madonna's #16 hit (in the winter of '84), "Holiday" and #10 hit (in the summer of '84) "Borderline". At the time, many critics were writing off Madonna as not going to have as big of career as one of her then rivals for chart success, Cyndi Lauper. All three of those hits were from Madonna's self-titled debut lp, and "Lucky Star" went to #3 in the charts. The critics would soon be proven wrong with the #1 smash hit by Madonna, "Like A Virgin" -- which would prove to be the start of an unstoppable train ride of success for the pop star, Madonna! - Peter | |||

Manfred Mann | Do Wah Diddy Diddy | There she was just a-walkin' down the street, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do." | "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" was the only #1 for the original/1960's group of South African keyboardist Manfred Mann. Many at the time that "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" was hot on the charts, thought Manfred Mann might be British, but he wasn't he is definitely South African -- although he did have a five man combo that was composed mainly of British men. Manfred Mann also originally started out as jazz artist, but realized that to make money he might need to go into pop. "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" was also a remake of the American soul group the Exciters song written by the duo Barry/Greenwich. - Peter | |||
Manfred Mann | Blinded By The Light | Blinded by the light, revved up a like deuce, another runner in the night | "Blinded By The Light" was written by Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen and the original (more acoustic than Mann's version) version was featured on The Boss' 1973 lp, "Greetings From Asbury Park". - Peter | |||

Maria Muldaur | Midnight At The Oasis | Midnight at the oasis, send your camel to bed. | Mildly suggestive for its time (1975), it was about a desert love affair set in old Arabia.

Martha & the Vandellas | Nowhere To Run | Nowhere to run, baby Nowhere to hide (ooh) Got nowhere to run, baby Nowhere to hide (ooh) | "Nowhere To Run" was a #8 hit for Motown's Martha & the Vandellas. Another one of the Motown hits written by the songwriting team of Holland, Dozier, Holland, "Nowhere To Run" was thought to be too earthy for the more well-polished Supremes to sing. Of course it was well known by this point that Motown founder, Barry Gordy was much more favorable to the Supremes than Martha Reaves and her Vandellas. But Martha & the Vandellas' tunes probably had more spins on the dance floors across America (just my opinion). - Peter | |||

Mary Martin | I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair | I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair, I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair. | "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair" is another tune from Rodgers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific". Although, a chorus tune, the character of Nellie sings the first line, therefore the credit to Mary Martin the first Nellie on Broadway. - Peter | |||
Mary McGregor | Good Friend | If you let me, I could be your good friend | From her eponymous and final album, released in 1980. The song was recorded for the 1979 Bill Murray comedy Meatballs. It peaked at Nos. 39 and 86 on the US and Canadian charts, respectively. - Joey F. | |||
Mary Wells | My Guy | Nothing you could say Can tear me away from my guy | Mary Wells' "My Guy" is considered by many as the ultimate classic Motown song. "My Guy" was one of two songs, along with Louis Armstrong's "Hello, Dolly!" that stopped the Beatles' 15 week hold on the #1 position on Billboard Magazine's HOT 100 charts back in 1964. "My Guy" was Mary Wells' first and only #1 single, but Mary Wells had many other hits before this. - Peter | |||
Mary Wells | He's A Lover | He's a lover. Some people talk about my guy. (He's a lover.) They say he always acts so shy. | - Candy Welty | |||
Mary Wells | Two Lovers | Well, I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed | A deceptive song title, "Two Lovers", a Motown hit for Mary Wells back in 1963 isn't about her having two different guys as lovers. No, not indeed, if you continue to listen you find out that she's talking to the same guy about his multiple personality disorder. - Peter | |||
Mary Wells | Laughing Boy | Laughing boy (ha ha ha ha ha), that's what they used to call you | - Candy Welty | |||

Maureen McGovern | The Morning After | There's got to be a morning after If we can hold on through the night | "The Morning After" was a # 1 song in 1973. It was featured in the original version of "The Poiseidon Adventure". Although, McGovern had the #1 tune, she didn't get to sing it or even appear in the film. Instead Renee Amand sang the tune, while actress Carol Lynley lip-synched in front of the camera. Even at the Oscar ceremony, the next year, McGovern would be denied singing it. - Peter | |||
Maxi Priest | Close To You | I just wanna be close to you. | I'm sure a lot of us thought he was saying, "I just wanna be cool like you!" - Larcen Tyler | |||
Mayday Parade | Jersey | 'Cause Jersey just got colder and... | - Lizzie | |||
MC5 | Kick Out The Jams | Kick out the jams motherfucker! | MC5 (short for Motor City five -- they were a band from Detroit, MI and had five members)'s "Kick Out The Jams" almost seems out of place for 1969 America (when it made a small dent on many FM and AM radio dials -- although not becoming a national hit -- it was a hit in many American markets), and this isn't just because of the racy opening line. No, the thing that makes "Kick Out The Jams" and MC5 unique was the combining of several forms of music available at that time, and even some that were just in the experimental early stages to come up with a sound that would become more common place three decades later and sound not to unlike such 1990's and 2000's bands as Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine, Living Colour, etc. A matter of fact, MC5 was way ahead of their time, combining not only psychedelic rock and funk, but also proto-punk and the yet to be realized sounds of later hip-hop and even a trace of rap can be heard in MC5's sound. - Peter | |||

The McCoys | Hang On Sloopy | Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on. | A number 1 song in November 1965, "Hang On Sloopy" was the most successful song for the American quartet the McCoys. The McCoys were formed in 1962 in Gary, IN by guitarist Ricky Zehringer (later known as Rick Derringer) and his brother, drummer, Randy (later known as Randy Z). Derringer would later go on to have a semi-successful solo career with the song, "Rock & Roll Hootchie Coo" being a huge rock 'n' roll anthem from the 1970's and produce such acts in the 1980's as the Go-Go's. - Peter | |||

Meredith Wilson | Wells Fargo Wagon | O-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon is a comin' down the street, Oh please let it be for me! | "Wells Fargo Wagon" is another song from Meredith Wilson's "The Music Man" musical. Again a chorus tune, the town's people as a whole. And Wells Fargo Wagon was something a lot of people would wait for in old-fashioned and frontier towns of the late 19th/early 20th century America, the time setting for "The Music Man". - Peter | |||
Meredith Wilson | It's You | It's you in the sunrise, it's you in my cup. | "It's You" is another song from Meredith Wilson's "The Music Man" musical. "It's You" is sung by the Men's Barbershop Quartet in "The Music Man". - Peter | |||
Meredith Wilson | Sincere | How can there be any sin in sincere, Where is the good in goodbye? | "Sincere" is another tune from Meredith Wilson's "The Music Man" musical. Since it is one of many tunes in the musical sung not by just one character (in this case the Men's Barbershop Quartet), credit for the performer goes to the man who wrote the music and lyrics, Meredith Wilson. - Peter | |||

Michael Crawford | It Only Takes A Moment | It only takes a moment For your eyes to meet and then Your heart knows in a moment You will never be alone again. | "It Only Takes A Moment" is another song from the Jerry Herman musical, "Hello, Dolly!" Michael Crawford is better known for the tune from his turn as the character of Cornelius Hackl in the 1969 motion picture. In the original Broadway run of "Hello, Dolly!" from 1964 to 1970 Cornelius was played by Charles Nelson Reilly. Michael Crawford would become better known in the late 1980's for his performance as the original Phantom Of The Opera in the Broadway and London musical of Andrew Lloyd Weber's "Phantom Of The Opera". - Peter | |||

Mildred J. Hill and Patty Smith Hill | Happy Birthday To You | Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear _________ , Happy birthday to you. | Those are both the opening lines and the only lines of the tune! The blank line after the dear is left opening for someone's first name or whatever title they liked to be called by people when you are wishing them a happy birthday with the tune. "Happy Birthday To You" is a very simple song that has a long history to it, but not as long as many people think. "Happy Birthday To You"'s lyrics were written by Louisville, KY schoolteacher, Mildred J. Hill, who was an expert on Negro spirituals and her sister, Dr. Patty Smith Hill who was a professor emeritus at Columbia University back in the 1850's. Mildred J. Hill would compose the melody for "Happy Birthday To You" on June 27, 1859. "Happy Birthday To You" was copyrighted in 1935 and the copyright was renewed in 1963. - Peter | |||

Millie Small | My Boy Lollipop | My boy lollipop, You made my heart go giddy up. | "My Boy Lollipop" was a surprise at the time #2 hit in the summer of 1964. A definite reggae beat tune several years before reggae would be more acceptable by the audience buying most of the pop/rock records sold at that time. Millie Small also points to the fact that the British Invasion hitting the American charts was more international than just being artists from Britian. Mille Small was from Jamaica. - Peter | |||
