Mickey by Toni Basil
“Oh Mickey, you’re so fine
You’re so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey,
Hey Mickey”
Then: Mickey was a song about Toni Basil’s crush on Micky Dolenz (one of the singers from the famous group The Monkees) from the time when she worked with the band as a choreographer. What girl didn’t bounce around her bedroom with pigtails and makeshift pom-poms to this bubblegum pop hit in the 80s?

Now: The song ended up being Toni’s only top 40 hit. She went back to her true passion, which was dancing and choreography. Toni has choreographed dance routines for some of the music world’s biggest names, including David Bowie and Tina Turner. You’ve probably heard of them. She also worked on movies like Legally Blonde.
