It's not. The anglicization is MOS-koh. MOS-kau is American.

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 :)
The original Power Rangers lol
It's also German ("Moskau") which I assume is where the American pronunciation comes from.
