Toni Basil: 'Mickey'

Toni Basil in her pop video for 'Hey Mickey.'

A peppy homage to teenage puppy love, choreographer and singer Toni Basil hit the top of the charts in autumn of 1982. The song is best-known for its video, which showed Basil and a full dancing revue of cheerleaders bopping around, and was an early staple on MTV. "Weird Al" Yankovic parodied "Mickey" a year later, as "Ricky," but little more was heard from Basil herself.
