Mickey. Toni Basil. Bass cover.

A fun upbeat song for today. Antonia Christina Basilotta, better known by her stage name Toni Basil, is an American singer, actress, choreographer, dancer, and filmmaker, best known for her multi-million-selling worldwide 1981/2 cover of the smash hit "Mickey," which topped the charts in the US, Canada and Australia and hit the top ten in several other countries. "Mickey" is a 1981 song recorded by American singer and choreographer Toni Basil on her debut album Word of Mouth. Written by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn as "Kitty", it was first recorded by UK music group Racey during 1979, appearing on their debut album Smash and Grab. Toni Basil changed the name from Kitty to Mickey to make the song about a man. The music video for "Mickey" was one of the most popular early MTV videos. During an interview on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of The 80's", Basil said that she still owns the same cheerleader sweater she wore in the video. In 2009, VH1 ranked "Mickey" Number 5 on its list of the 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the '80s. In 2017 she sued the makers of South Park over their use of the song in parodying Barack Obama's 2008 election win. For years, it had been rumored that the name was changed to Mickey because Basil developed a crush on the Monkees' drummer and lead vocalist Micky Dolenz, after meeting him on the set of their 1968 movie, Head, for which she was the choreographer; however, this claim was denied by Basil, who has said she did not know Dolenz that well. Then, later Basil herself (thankfully!) brought up the issue. When we asked if she chose the name “Mickey” because of her fondness for the Monkees' Micky Dolenz, she snapped: “Some guy decided that it would be funny to put that in my Wikipedia entry. He was adamant that 'Mickey' was about Micky Dolenz.
