Wild thing is that she was already pushing 40 when she released this - but still dancing like (and looking as fit as) a 20 year old!
That’s amazing
She was amazing then and still is now in her 70s
She's still dancing today! Look her up.
yep, she would have been around 38
Mind blown!
I remember this, I was 21 when it came out. Just looked it up, she’s now 77, which is almost as depressing as the fact that I’m 60. Sh*t f*ck.
I hear that...somehow I ended up 59...damn🖖🏻🇨🇦
Ok, I'm 54, and I'm sure she can still dance better than me!
🤣🤣 sorry this was hilarious! I didn't realize this was that old of a song. I'm 40 and thought it was closer to my age range.
And she still can fit into that cheerleading outfit she had since being a teenager!
@@tessasnow same! 🤣
Toni is a genius. Her moves and choreography are legendary.
Her father was also a famous choreographer as well.
That was an actual cheerleading squad with her in the video. Can't remember where they were from but they won several cheerleading competitions. Toni praised how great it was to work with them, they were such naturals at the choreographing, dancing, etc.
@@redarmysoja the girls were from 2 big high schools in los angeles; carson & dorsey.
Couldn't tell you what I had for lunch yesterday but haven't heard this is over 30 years and still know every word! 📣
Ikr 🤣
Facts. I completely forgot this song existed. Then out of nowhere my mouth started spouting off every single word. 🙄🤣
How could you wait 30 years to listen again? 😁
i don’t think i’ve seen anyone react to this yet! forgot how much of a bop it is
Last week someone else reacted to it and I said OMG Mr. Video would love this.
jayveetv did
Toni Basil was a dancer in Elvis’s movie Viva Las Vegas when she was 21! She was 39 in this video, 77 now.
toni was the girl in the red dress in one of his songs in the movie.
You got chills as she started "Uprocking" she a pioneer choreographer look her up she still going
Uh huh ... how many y'all sittin' in your chair, singin' and chair boppin'? Me!
🙋♀️
This played on the radio, I know every word and can't help but sing along.
Facts!
Same
Theres a you tube video of her dancing in her 70,s posted in the last year, still phenomenal she is a legend
The cheerleaders were top competitive cheerleaders. Tony sought them out for her video. I remember the world premiere on MTV 😂❤🎶🎶
At least two of those girls were athletic enough to be linebackers
@@kemitamenophis3221 😂😂
Wasn't one of them her niece or something?
the girls were from 2 big high schools in los angeles; carson & dorsey.
She used to be a "go-go" dancer on a TV show in the 60's . Then she used to pop-lock with the L A Breakers in the 70's. Then she came out with "Mickey" in 1980/81.
Leo react to My Sharona by the Knack...
Pleeeese
Do a two-fer with this and weird al My Bologna. 👍👍
yessssss
Yesssss! I love that song- got KSO to react to it- she was up jamming out to it! Lol
@@kimberlinibambini1988 cool, I don’t think I caught that. Good lookin out bro!
This song is the biggest "Ear Worm" ever. It gets in your head and you can't get it out for days.
is anyone going to point out that "hey mickey" is where run d.m.c. lifted "its tricky" from ? mr. v you should react to "my sharona" by the knack. number 1 song of 1979, and its where run dmc got their primary music sample for the same song of theirs "tricky".
I was going to, but you beat me to it. lol
I mentioned that on his reaction video of Its Tricky. I wasn’t sure if they lifted it or a really strange coincidence.
Thats all most music is rearranging, sampling, and covers. KISS has 108 samples, 405 covers, and 4 remixes of their music. Led Zeppelin 555 samples, 478 covers, 3 remixes and on an on. whosampled.com very interesting site....
@@davidhunt3689 ok semi-true point, but not the point. nobody is saying that sampling is wrong, just helping mr video notice connections between songs he's reacted to. its reasonable also to expect credit to be given to the real originators of things, financial credit or otherwise.
@@ice-iu3vv OH I agree was just amazed at who has sampled what
Your face at 01:09 LOL This is one of the most unique songs of the 80s. I was there and I'm still here :-)
Truly unique! Nobody else did a cheer routine in a music video!. I was there too & being here now during a sad time, well, it really made my day :))
Gotta watch Weird Al "Hey Ricky" his version of this.
I second this suggestion 👍
I third this suggestion
I fourth this suggestion.
It’s a MUST
definitely gotta do the Weird Al version
The Hey Mickey cheer was something she thought up. This was also the first single ever commissioned purely as a video first (mtv was new)
Actually its a cover of "Kitty"
Actually @@limastall9279 the cheerleading chant isn’t on it though…I wasn’t denying it was a cover…but no “Oh kitty you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind”
@@spinsterpunk just found out today, 3/30/2023, that toni basil's ''mickey'' is a cover of the group racey's song ''kitty'' from a few years earlier. it's almost word for word. czcams.com/video/cQv7IgGPXLY/video.html
She actually had a pretty good career had a one hit wonder pop song back in the 60s and then hit it in the 80s with this song and went on to do choreography in some Hollywood movies
I think she was doing choreography before this. I know she did for American Graffiti in 1973
@@Boondoggle6969 she did. Viva Las Vegas, she choreographed some dances. She was the lady in the red dress when Elvisnand Ann were dancing on the roulette wheel in the club
Pretty good? She’s an icon
groove is in the heart - deee-lite........lol
Yes. GROOVE IS IN THE HEART! PLEASE!
yes yes yesss
you be getting into these 80s songs, man you have me dying
This could not be more cheesy or catchy lol.
The “Mickey” is obviously strong in Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” and Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend,” and I’m sure they would humbly agree that it was an influence. “Mickey” is almost too catchy and radio-friendly. Not shocked Basil was a one-hit wonder, as she had nowhere to go but down after this. However, her legendary career as a choreographer more than kept her busy back then.
Still missing out on Elton John my friend, he had 7 consecutive #1 albums, most successful solo male artist before MJ, Elton was the 70s!
Can't live without hearing Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding or Someone Saved My Life Tonight, they will both change your life!
Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding has got to be in the top five of best ever.
"Yellow Brick Road" and "Why They Call It the Blues"
Gotta love the 80’s.....
This song was HUGE when it came out.
Toni is a legend! This song is legendary - quintessential 80’s. Trained dancer, SHES also been in quite a few films - American Graffiti to name one. Hard to believe she’s 77 now but I know she’s still got moves.
Toni was on CBS Sunday Morning recently. That is her cheer uniform from Las Vegas High. She is still actively choreographing. And others have pointed out, I am sure, she was around 40 when she recorded this memorable tune!
this song gave birth to the concept of "Holla Back Girl" by Gwen Staffani.
(whether Gwen's production team did it consciously or subconsciously is another story that only Gwen can answer).
80s music lol ..what i grew up on
This song is so dang catchy though.
Its 1983 and I'm m 11 years old again just getting MTV for the first time
My family calls me Mickey. They went nuts when this came out. Mom still calls me on my birthday to sing it to me. 😏☺️😁😂
This played every hour on MTV for quite a while. This is one of those songs that if you were around back then just instantly takes you back to the 80s. You have to understand back then MTV was everything. The videos debuted before the album or cassette was even available in stores. They rushed the videos out and being unique meant everything. It was a weird and wonderful time to be a teenager with songs like this dropping what seemed like everyday. Another great one that you will absolutely love is I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow. That one will really get you going.
Totally forgot about Bow Wow Wow! Great suggestion!
When I was 10 this song was everywhere. 1981 was a great year.
I was born that year so I agree!
I remember watching this on TBS Night Tracks in the 80's
The cheerleaders in this video were from Carson High School in CA, I had a friend who went to that school. Great reaction Mr. V! But, I love when you react to 80s!
Love you to react to Missing Persons “Words”, same era.
Do u hear me, do u care.
Yes! And Walking in LA, Destination Unknown, Mental Hopscotch
I sing this to my dog. Her name is Niki and she's got health problems. Trying to get her to respond at the intensive care unit of the Animal Hospital, I started singing her this song and she'd wag her tail and perk up. She was there for 10 days, on about the 5th day, I came in to visit her and the vet techs were around her oxygen cage singing, "Oh Niki you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind." I will never forget how wonderful they were to her
High school days! 😊Toni Basil is a very accomplished choreographer; choreographed videos and concerts for many artists; she’s definitely got the moves!
Try this all female band, THE BANGLES: "Hazy shade of winter".
Yes, this!! One of the few really, really great covers!
Anything Bagles! 👍🏽
Walk Like an Egyptian, obviously is a good one too
The Bangles are amaze balls.
The Bangles had Prince writing songs for them since he had a thing with Suzanna Hoff for a bit lol.
Toni Basil is an icon. It’s easier to mention what she has not done than what she has because she’s done everything. Worked with Elvis, Sinatra, Michael Jackson for starters. She’s in the International Hip Hop Hall of Fame for being in the Pioneer group The Lockers. In The Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame via “Mickey” song. Emmy winner, Grammy and MTV nominated. Been in and choreographed for many major movies and artists. Influenced Madonna to name a few. She’s had other hit songs, her follow up album had one track hit 4 on the dance charts. Had a hit in a 60s pop group and lead plenty of vocals to other songs. At 78 she is still dancing and in the latest Tarantino movie.
She was an original founders of the dance crew the Lockers with Ozone and Rerun!! RIP Toni!!
This is what I was looking for! To see if anyone was calling out "The Lockers"
"Mickey" was Toni's dance name with The Lockers. Here's a video. It features "Mr Penguin" (Rerun from "Whats Happening"), "Shabadoo/Ozone" (from "Breakin'" & "Electric Boogaloo"), "Campbellock" (the godfather of locking), .... and of course Toni/Mickey. czcams.com/video/NwAZoce7QHY/video.html
I believe Toni Basil is still around and doing choreography.
She is still alive!
MY BAD...ive made a very rare booboo ,,,sorry she is still alive
Toni's version of this song is the one everyone knows and was frankly, executed better. Her version is playful and spunky. You may want to check out the original song by Racey called Kitty. It has a kind of a greaser, 50's vibe to it. It was released in 1979, a year after the movie Grease was released, so likely a 'riding the coattails' effort? I don't suggest it as a reaction, just go check it out on your own.
I like the Racey version. It's pretty cool, but I can see why it didn't really leave a mark on its own. But, I'm a big ol' 1970s Glam, New Wave, and Power Pop nerd and I tend to like pretty much anything Mike Chapman wrote or produced. I really loved that genderfuck trend with early 80s music where women would cover songs by men and subtly change the meaning. In "Kitty", it's just some horny dude talking about a pretty chick who won't give him the time of day, but in this cover, there's a winking implication that Mickey's not into her because he's just not into girls. Like a more PC and family-friendly iteration of Josie Cotton's New Wave classic "Johnny Are You Queer?" A similar effect was achieved when Cyndi Lauper covered Prince's "When You Were Mine". It ended up being one of her best songs and rivaled (or possibly bettered the original) largely because it seemed to tell a whole different story by changing none of the lyrics or pronouns to accommodate the fact that a woman was singing it. The Prince original seemed to be about a possessive man who refuses to let go of an ex. With Cyndi Lauper, it sounds like she's singing to her gay best friend about how they've only gotten closer since they stopped dating.
I didn't realize there was an original version until about 12 yrs ago. I liked Racey's version.
This made such a cultural impact. Early MTV played it over and over as did the radio. Still holds up 37-38 years later.
She used to be in some of those old 60s beach movies. She has choreographed many Hollywood dance sequences. She's ageless!
Would always say they were saying "oh, Chris"... Let's get a react for "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" by Gloria Estefan or "Self Control" by Laura Branigan... 80s all day!
Yes! 🙋🏻♀️
Self Control...man I jammed to that song back in the day!
@@kimmycook2698 yes! Me too! Love “self control!” Also HER doing “Power of Love.” The best version IMHO- ✌️✨
another vote for listening to "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" by Gloria Estefan or some song by Laura Branigan. I also like "Morning Train" by Gloria Estefan
I was privileged to take a dance class taught by Toni in NYC a long time ago. 🩰🩰🩰
Amazing dancer, choreographer, and singer!!!
✌️💗😊
This was cute, the first 10,000 times lol lol,,
She was in Easy Rider. She's not young in this video
42 !!
@@cabcats6 she was 38
@@deesee3622 Oh really ? I read before she was 42 . Amazing either way ! Check her out her at 74 !
Toni Basil at 74 busts out better dance moves than you - AMAZING!
@@cabcats6 yeah I have, shes awesome! always loved this video and song; I wouldn't say shes not young, 38 is definitely not old! nor is 42 lol especially nowadays. (I know thats the first poster but just had to say it)
When this song came on mtv, I jumped up and danced until it was completely over. Everytime too! My family thought it was cute and would literally laugh.
She did a DEVO cover "Be Stiff" & they played her arrangement on stage. Gotta check out DEVO "Blockhead"
☝️Aha! Do you think @MrVideo is ready for DEVO? Are we not men? We are....😏
@@carmenmehringer9765 Everyone understands Devolution now since its our national domestic policy
She was an originator of pop n lock. You should look her up, she's an accomplished dancer/choreographer, actress and singer. You'd be amazed how many people she's worked with.
I haven’t laughed this hard in SO long. You are a joy to watch.
ANYTHING FROM KLYMAXX all female band, Meeting In the ladies room, The men all pause, I miss you, etc! You would love them!!!!
The Men ALL Pause!!!
Another vote for listening to some song by Klymaxx
Ha! When I was 10 years old, there was this really cute guy named Mickey & my girlfriends & I crank called him at least a dozen times singing the chorus of this song...! Poor guy...
Paolo Nutini - "Iron Sky" will touch your soul. Powerful song!
This song is so 80's lol I remember this played all the time on the bus on the way to school.
You guys Tell him•••√🎸🎸🎼She was A True Street Dance Pioneer. She started a Group the LOCKERS pop & lockING watch her on Soul Train. Really famous choreographer 🤸🤸🤸🤸
At 1:21 "WTH you guys!?" You thought you were getting punked! 🤣🤣🤣
Two seconds later...you totally love it!
You are a joy! Thanks for all the good vibes you're putting out there. 🥰
Can you react to the songs from the HAMILTON film? Thank you! 🙏🏻
Hey Mr. Video! I only recently discovered that Toni Basil was one of the founding members of the iconic LA Lockers. She was the only female member of the crew who were regulars on Soul Train back in the early 70s. She was responsible for turning the Lockers into a professional dance troupe, and later became an actress and renowned choreographer. Talented lady!
She was a pioneer in West Coast Hip Hop Dance Definitely gets props
She was an original Locker that came from Soul Train.
She is still a choreographer here in LAS VEGAS ! She is in her late sixties… you should check it out !
I was a cheerleader in high school (in the 70s), and this song came out about 4 yrs after I graduated, so this was the style of cheerleading that I did (cheerleading is a LOT different nowadays). So fun to see this 40 yrs later. Hard to believe I was ever that fit, LOL! Super-fun catchy song. Great reaction.
BTW, the songwriters originally wrote this as Kitty, not Mickey, but Toni changed it to Mickey. I think that Toni was primarily a dancer who decided to make her own record and video. Not sure if she ever released any other records.
That looks like an actual squad, not a group made for the video. In truth I prefer this style to the crazy nonsense they do now. It's not about cheer now its about their own sport.
@@blktauna I agree with you blktauna. On both points.
I knew I'd be Laughing my ass off from this reaction 🤣🤣🤣😂. I love ya man
The 1st person EVER to get chills from Oh Mickey. 😂😂😂😂
I just want to thank you. My mom's been going thru a lot of back surgeries lately n your videos always brighten her days. U rock!
My friends and I did this song in a 1983 Junior High talent contest - it was AWESOME!!! :-)
This song will be stuck in my head all day. LOL
Oh WOWWWWW, this was my jam when I was a little kid!! Back when MTV was awesome. Yikes I. Am. Old.
Toni Basil was in her 40's when this was made and actually has her high school cheerleader outfit. Still able to keep pace with cheerleaders half her age.
Bringing back memories damn from New Zealand my bro
ohhhh could one recommend bonnie tyler - total eclipse of the heart and robert palmer - addicted to love. and any bon jovi song im laughing at you saying basil different everytime
Oh man this was the best!!!! Loved your reaction as usual 🤣🤣🤣 This was one of the many songs I requested and I am so glad to see you reacted to it. Such a fun song
Toni Basil was a choreographer in the 60's and 70's. She was an actress in some B movies like "Valley of the giants" in the 60's. "Rockula" in the 80's. She does everything.
Originally released as a single in the U.K. in 1981, “Mickey” made its way to the United States in 1982 to widespread success, with its iconic cheerleading-themed music video being played in heavy rotation on MTV and the new wave pop hit reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
This was actually the first MTV video I ever saw!! I'll never forget this song lol thanks for making us laugh through this depressing year!
Toni Basil was also in "Easy Rider" in 1969 with Hopper, Nickelson and Fonda.
Oh god - memory lane for me this one!!! I’d watch Top Of The Pops in my dancing flary rar rar skirt waiting fir this to come on and just go crazy twirling and dancing around! I was probably 7 or 8 years old. Golden memories! Utterly golden!!
Thx Leo! Wow, big flash back! Loved this song in middle school. Glad you like it. LOL I remember it was a huge hit on top 40 countdown. She's 77 now and still very pretty. I just looked her up. Pls see the copy/paste:
Toni Basil is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, choreographer and director whose song “Mickey” became a hit during the 80s music era. “Mickey” is Basil's only Top 40 hit, making her a one hit wonder. More on Toni Basil here in this article.
LMAO 🤣...Hey Mickey...You never cease to surprise me!
The beginning always gets me. Never ever stop doing that please!!
So glad I saw this @Mr.Video! The best part of waiting hours for Mtv to play this was that we all got to dance around like cheerleaders. I know I tell you all the time that "this is my favorite reaction" but this is my favorite reaction lol. You rock!
I used to play this song..lol..also she was a locker she danced on soul train with fred berry..aka rerun and shabba doo..aka ozone
She was a choreographer. I loved Toni Basil especially this song. I think she was pushing 40 when she did this song.
Brings back memories. You crack me up! Keep up the good work!!
How do you not have a million sub. You are truly awesome. ❤❤
You are such a hoot!! Love your reactions!
Yr reaction was the best....lmao. Needed this today, thanks Leo

Man, I almost always enjoy watching the reactions to the music I grew up with, but this might be most fun I've had watching a reaction. Thanks for the smiles and the laughs, keep it up! Signed, a new subscriber. PS. credit to the commenter below, I didn't have a clue she that old when she did this.
Omg I never put notifications on but I put all of them on for u cuz I could watch u 24/7 I LUV UR ENERGY!!!
I love your first reaction it's brilliant! Keep up the awesomeness and keep smoking much love
The first song I ever heard by Weird Al Yankovic was a spoof of this song called "Hey Ricky" which was also spoofing I Love Lucy.
It's a funny thing- We Gen-Xers probably know more about our parents' stuff than any other generation; We were the first generation of latchkey kids who would come home to an empty house with a TV after school, and in those days you'd only have about 5 or 6 channels to choose from, and daytime TV was very different in those days. Only the three major networks and PBS produced any original content, and on the networks it was all soap operas until the 5 O'Clock News came on. No Oprah, no Judge Judy, none of that crap. The indie stations had to fill up time, so a lot of it was reruns of old shows from the 50s like I Love Lucy and Leave It To Beaver and Dennis The Menace- So all the Gen-Xers, who were teens and tweens at the time got all the jokes in the Weird Al song.
I know this tangent's getting way out in the weeds at this point, but speaking of Weird Al, he did a movie called UHF, which was about that era- The other thing the indie stations did was they'd have cartoons all afternoon, so we also grew up on Bugs Bunny and the early anime shows like Speed Racer and Marine Boy, and on some channels they had an afternoon host (In DC it was Captain 20, in Baltimore it was captain Chesapeake) and with the right host they could compete- and sometimes beat the networks in the afternoon ratings. That's basically the plot of UHF: Weird Al is the owner of a low-rated UHF TV station who hires before-he-was-Kramer Michael Richards to be his afternoon host, and starts competing with the big networks.
So... Hope you enjoyed my rant...
Love your channel!!! You’re so fun you always make me smile. Keep your couch your movements really makes it fun. It’s not so fun watching someone in a chair making comments. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL 🤪🤓🥳 FUN-FUN-FUN 💃🏻🕺🏻
mr.video you're the best! lol ...lemme tell ya...i've had a rough couple of years (as everyone else..) and just like today..rough day..pulled up this video reaction and i just laughed and laughed.thats what i needed so ty for your reactions. i watch a lot of reactions and though i enjoy them all..yours is always the best by a landslide...keep it going!!!!!!
That cheerleading uniform is hers from Las Vegas high and she still is choreographing music videos and shows!!!!
Big 80s hit! Definitely a song you couldn't help to bop to. Cheerleading days..Fun song! Loved watching you having fun w it👌
I use to sing "Hey Nikki" cause of my name lol
Prince had a great song about Nikki. What a darling she was.
All of my friends would sing this and make up our own cheers at recess when I was in 7th grade, haha.
I used to roller skate to this song at the "dink-rink!" (Our name for the skating rink) anyhow... LOVE this song! THANK YOU Mr Video!!
