Right on that was/is a fun song. "Hey Mickey" - Toni Basil 8)

Yeah great song. The video was a bit naff but still, it was the very early 80s (82 I think . . . ).

Did she ever have another hit after her song Mickey?



Howard

Hey you know what? The cheerleader movie Bring It On was just on TV here in OZ over the weekend... they used "Mickey" somewhere, 'cos it was on the TV ad... :D

A fun song &  classic video.  8) 


One of my all time personal favorite music videos.  :D

It wasnt actually her song.  Racey wrote it as Oh Kitty (about a girl) - and loaned it to her as a joke (the joke being that she wasnt actually a singer). The original song can be heard on a couple of Raceys albums from the late 70's and early 80's.

Afterwards she went back to her normal career of choreographer.  If you read the credits to practically any movie or TV show that features dancing - ten to one you spot her name.

Actually - if you put her name in IMDB under crew - it should bring up all the work she has done.

Think it was Toni Basil, but she did a pretty good song called Girls Night Out in about 1978 possibly on SNL.  It was a great video, and TB looked kind of hot.  Sorry I can't be more specific, but things were hazy at the time, vaguely recall having had a few.

WOW :o good for her on keeping at it!

well she has had 61 years to squeeze it all in.  Hides her age well.

I like the song (Guilty Pleasure), but I honestly think she looks and acts like a robot in the video!

Wow! :o I never even knew Toni Basil was even that old. :o
