Mickey

Mickey is a song released in 1981 by singer and choregrapher Toni Basil. It is off of her 1982 album Word of Mouth. The song was a big hit for Basil, hitting number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and going platnuim. It was also her only big hit, making Basil a "one hit wonder".

The song is famous for its music video, which featured Basil and her dancers in cheerleading outfits performing cheerleader routines. It is considered to be the first choregraphed dance video and was played heavily on MTV in 1981.

Sweet Suspense version
Sweet Suspense performed this song on the X Factor on November 13, 2013 for '80s Night. The girls received mixed reviews from the judges for their performance, and it sadly proved to be their last as they were eliminated from the show on November 14, 2013, finishing in 12th place.

Trivia

 * Some of the cheerleading moves done in the music video, such as a cheerleader jumping through the center of a human pyramid in the opening stunt, are now illegal in cheerleading competition today.
