- Toni Basil starred, co-directed and choreographed two self-titled BBC television specials, which were re-aired in record time due to unprecedented audience response. "Toni Basil Tape 2" is the second BBC television special starring by this talented American singer, dancer and choreographer who brings her own explosive video style to the American approach to dance, and takes her 'pink poodles' for 'walkies' of a musical kind.
0:01 Intro. Toni greets audience and presents her mischievous poodles that messed up her dressing room.
1:15 Spazz Attack does a 'classic' opening number.

9:41 Toni returns to her dressing room and finds problems with her poodles. She calls dog trainer Barbara Woodhouse looking for obedience instructions to deal with them. The sequence ends with music and dance.

Interesting fact: Researching this TV special, we have found in many TV guides mentions of "Toni Basil Tape 2" aired on BBC2 on Friday 8th April 1983, which is very interesting as this special includes songs from her second studio album "Toni Basil" ("I Don't Hear You", "Best Performance" and "Street Beat") which, according to the information we found, was only released in December 1983 and if so, those songs were released a lot before the official release of the album, perhaps as a commercial strategy for that video to promote and boost songs from the next album.

Aww so lovely to see this again, I used to watch this video as child multiple times a day! Toni was a huge inspiration to me ❤
Just discovered Toni Basil. What an intriguing woman. Want to know all I can about her now.
She's so amazing!
Love the Toni-Spaz chemistry in this special.
She is like the nanny Fran Fine.
Hey thanks so much, this is the very thing I was looking for.
Re tape 1 there is a good version I downloaded a few years ago. The poster had done superb job on the soundtrack. Search for Toni Basil BBC Special, hopefully it's still out there.
This is not the BBC Special. This is in fact the video album Word Of Mouth with "Over My Head" added at the end
Wow didn’t even know this existed! Thanks for posting it
Great HD quality! Thanks for the reuploading of it.
I see now where "Mickey" came from, was derived from! Very interesting history here!
Just wanted to say thanks for uploading. I've not seen this since it was first broadcast in 1983
Don't suppose you've got Tape 1?
Thank you so much! 😊 It's exciting for us as a fan group to be able to share this precious material. Saldy we haven't the whole Tape 1 but we are looking for it. ❤
You can activate subtitles in the video settings, sometimes it works. agent who does not understand English has difficulty understanding what she says
I'm wondering - did some of these skits/dance numbers ever make it to MTV in the day?
