The Anglicization is mos-cow. Using Cyrillic it's pronounced in neither of those two ways that you've written.

      If this song is the reason Americans use "mos-cow" I am 100% here for it and will back any campaign to change the British pronunciation to match :)

    It's also German ("Moskau") which I assume is where the American pronunciation comes from.

  Given that everyone and every country will pronounce it differently, the attempts at correcting the video creator's pronunciation of location names seems pretty futile.
