Basil’s infectious hit “Mickey” became the #1 song in America, holding the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 until December 17. The energetic anthem also hit #1 in Canada and Australia, making it an international sensation.

The cheerleading-inspired track, complete with its iconic music video, captured the spirit of the early 80s and remains a pop culture staple. Fun fact: Toni Basil was 39 years old when she released “Mickey,” proving that it’s never too late to make a lasting mark in music.
