This was THE quintessential early 80s jam... Every Junior High and Highschool cheerleader leading squad had their own routine to this song.
The thing about Toni Basil-she near 40 when she cut this video in ‘82! She originally was a choreographer IN THE ‘60s….crazy, right? She co-starred in the Monkees' 1968 film Head as well. Super talented ❤
Tony Basil danced in a dance group of about 6 black guys (primarily from "Soul Train") that "invented" the dance called ("Locking" - not "Pop Locking"), "Locking" came first. Tony said "I'll help you guys out if you teach me how to "Lock", they agreed and she joined the group. (forgive typo, her name is spelled "Toni").
I follow some current dancers on IG and they’ve posted videos in the past 10 yrs of Toni still locking in her 80’s. Phenomenal. 👏🏾
Dancing group was called 'The Lockers' which featured most of former Soul Train dancers like Don Campbell, Adolpho 'Shabba Do' Quinones, Fred 'Rerun' Berry aka Mr. Penguin. Fred Berry appeared in another Toni Basil's video. Toni also choreographed for the group Troop 'Spread My Wings'.
Yes
@@loritajohnson5664I thought it was called Break Dancing, LoL
I remember The Lockers, thank you, Lorita! I had no idea Toni was the girl, but I thought she was the best dancer in the group.
I'd forgotten his name, but wasn't it Rerun who acted in a mid 70s sitcom, too? I can't remember the name of it, but, it's the one where the guys catch a ride in the back of a pickup.
Teen Dances were big in The 80's & my 2 brothers & I went to a teen dance at the local gym in 1982 I was 14 & we did a train dance around the gym equipment to the song Mickey it was so much fun & I still remember it in detail to this day. No fun for the young nowadays.
_there’s fun for the young nowadays...it’s called Tik Tok_
Thank you Demetria for the request!!!
Fun request Demetria. Jack, the Gwen Stefani song I believe you are talking about is "Hollaback Girl."
The chanting part is: This $hit is bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
My inner 9 yr old thanks you, Demetria!🤓👌🏾
Love this great 80s song
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.
Jack, I have been with you for a good while now, sometimes I don't comment, but what a lamb you are! 😘
I love the reactions you have! MC especially. This song was HUGE in the 80s and just stuck! 🤣 Keep disecting the music! Music is what speaks to the heart! I like hearing your pure reactions! 😀
It helps to consider that the time period was early MTV days. So artists were just starting to create music videos to go with their latest releases. This is literally 1 of the 1st music videos I can remember seeing. And they definitely knew their audience for these videos.
This song was Toni Basil's one and only Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song went all the way to peaked at the #1 spot for one week during the late fall of 1982. By the way, the cheerleaders in the video came from Carson High School in Carson, CA. A definitely banger of a song indeed!!!
Mickey had a stronghold on Tony Basil 🤣😂😂
OMG!! It's such a classic song and I never knew who made it. Thank you, Demetria❤❤❤
This one was a fun one. Classic 80s, for sure. Great one, Demetria.
Ayeeeee this is a classic! Nice one Demetria! This is quintessential 80s right here! 🔥
Yep Jack, the cheerleaders in this video were members of a championship cheerleading squad from Carson High School in Carson, California.📣
Nice trivia. Never knew that. I’m surprised that none of the MTV veejays ever mentioned it. Carson, huh? I could see that bc a few of the cheerleaders look Samoan (Carson is known for its Booyah tribe community).✌🏽
Ine of the MOST fun one hit wonder songs of the 80's. You should check out Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves. - another fantastic 80's one.
I remember this song when i was a kid ..this is a fun 80's track lol 🤤
Great memories!
This was in the Bring It On movie. 😆 I don't know if you saw it, but it was in the end.
She’s almost 40 years old wearing her original high school cheerleading uniform.
Gwen "Hollaback Girl"
The Harajuku Girls. 🙌🏽 🇯🇵
Definitely inspired by this!
Timeless. Cool is cool.
Wow I haven't seen you in a while
Love it! 🔥
❤❤❤❤❤❤LOVE THIS SONG❤❤❤❤❤❤
They did this in the bring it on movie with Gabrielle Union when they played the cheerleader's
just found out today, 3/30/2023, that toni basil's ''mickey'' is a cover of the group racey's song ''kitty''. it's almost word for word. czcams.com/video/cQv7IgGPXLY/video.html
"So come on and give it to me anyway you can
Anyway you want to do it, I'll take it like a man"
I wonder what she means by that...
I think it has a early Blondie-like sound.
Takes me back to the early days of MTV. Such fond memories -even if they didn’t play videos by black ppl- ! 😎
Hi jack I am of your followers I wanted know can you do a reaction video of a group called wildflower the title of the song is one headlight That’s if you haven’t done a video reaction already 😊 thank you
_psst the group is the wallflowers-great song btw_
❤❤❤❤❤
🎉
Gwen Stefani: Hollaback Girl maybe?
Not my faves but glad you covered it.
Where's, Donna summer jack, Dinner with Gurshwin?
I look forward to Jack’s reaction. “Dinner With Gershwin” is, in my opinion, one of Brenda Russell’s best compositions.
She was 38 in this video
Her record “Over My Head” is much better in my opinion…
😅 It's not an awful song, but it's just...yeah... There's so much better out of the 80s than this! Fun song regardless.
Careful there young man, you're starting to put on weight. The gym is not too far away, time to invest.
I’m a sub to several reaction channels. Comments like this (unrelated to the host’s opinions of a song) always intrigue me. I realize that music reactors open themselves up to scrutiny by the mere fact that they appear on camera. That said, I personally find these posts unnecessary and, in some cases, offensive. For the record: even if you were complimenting Jack’s looks, I’d find it pointless. Btw, in comparison to things shared on other channels about a reactor, yours was mild.
@@gabrielmcdonnell8699As if gaining weight can't be a health hazard. Not too very long ago, as a fan of Kevin Samuels, in the comments I'd warn him time and again about his excessive use of energy drinks, especially for someone his age. Many posters, just like you, said the same things. Some going as far as to say that these drinks were safe. Look where that got him. I hate to tell you, but we men need to talk to each other about these things because society will normalize and even encourage obesity, bad eating habits, and poor behaviors. Not like women in our society who are told do whatever you want at all times. If we men don't check each other no one will.
That's f*cked up
