> T.S.O.P. - MFSB

Both the song title and the band name are initialisms.  
T.S.O.P. was an abbreviation for _The Sound of Philadelphia_, a soul-rock genre of music with its own distinctive sound and considered by many to have been a seminal part of disco. The musical group itself was made up of more than 30 studio musicians based at Philadelphia’s Sigma Sound Studios, and MFSB stood for _Mother-f⁎⁎⁎ing Son-of-a-Bitch_, an expression which was used among the musicians to compliment a colleague’s musical prowess _(it was later cleaned up to **Mother Father Sister Brother** for public consumption)_.
