Antonia Christina Basilotta (born September 22, 1943), better known by her stage name Toni Basil, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, filmmaker, film director, choreographer, and dancer, best known for her multi-million selling worldwide No. 1 hit "Mickey" from 1982.
Basil was born Antonia Christina Basilotta in Philadelphia. Her mother, Jacqueline Jessica Anderson, was a vaudevillian acrobatic comedian in her family's act "Billy Wells and The Four Fays." Her father, Louis Basil, was an orchestra leader who conducted orchestras at the Chicago Theatre and at the Sahara Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, among others.
It was while her family was living in Las Vegas that Antonia attended high school there; she was one of the sports cheerleaders for the Las Vegas High School Wildcats, and graduated as part of the class of 1961. Already known by the nickname "Toni" by this time, she later incorporated her cheerleading experience into her dance career (see below) and her performance of "Mickey" (also see below) in both performing the selection and choreographing its video. It is worth noting that her original cheerleading uniform from that period was not the same as the one she wore in the video for "Mickey;" that uniform had been re-designed by then, and it was the re-designed version that she wore in the video.

"Mickey" is a 1982 U.S. pop song recorded by singer and choreographer Toni Basil on her debut album Word of Mouth. Written by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn as "Kitty", it was first recorded by UK popular music group Racey during 1979 appearing on their debut album Smash and Grab.
This is an iconic AIP Beach film. One of the many I did in the 60's. Some I choreographed but this one I assisted David Winters whom I worked with throughout the 60's as his assistant. He was one of the great actor/dancers in the film West Side Story and also in the original Broadway musical. I'm still in touch with almost all the dancers in this movie especially Teri Garr my best friend the gorgeous leggy Oscar nominated blond dancing behind me. I can't tell you how hot it was shooting in the sun and difficult it was dancing on that sand. I think this was my first street dance battle. ------------------------------------------ Social Networks: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Toni_Basil Instagram: http://instagram.com/OfficialToniBasil Facebook Fan Page: https://www.facebook.com/OfficialTon...

Choreographer Toni Basil still has all the moves. (CNN)First of all, can wrap our heads around the fact that Toni Basil is 72 years old? Her hip-hop moves are so smooth it's hard to believe that Basil is a septuagenarian. The video had some folks on Twitter asking if the 70s are the new 20s. Basil is best known for her infectious 1982 hit, but she has had an even bigger career as a choreographer, including work on movies such as "My Best Friend's Wedding" and "Legally Blonde." http://rss.cnn.com/~r/rss/edition_entertainment/~3/eo0afpaMiaE/index.html http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Entertainment using http://wochit.com
Breaking Into... -- In this episode Black Hollywood Live host James Lott Jr. interviews Toni Basil. Toni Basil began her career as a dancer and assistant choreographer, working on such shows as Hullabaloo (1965) choreographed by David Winters. Later, she choreographed the hit film American Graffiti (1973) and also began appearing in films, including the now-classic Easy Rider (1969). After several films, she launched her music career with her first album, "Word of Mouth", in 1981, which was released both as a record and a video, quite an innovation at the time. Culled from that album was a innocent little ditty called "Mickey", which soon became a massive hit all over the world, first in Britain. The song topped the American music charts in December 1982, and the video (directed by Basil...

Toni trades in her cheerleader outfit for a majorette getup. I've read there's an official music video for this song, though I have never seen it appear on YouTube. C'mon people, upload it!
As if the song wasn't nagging enough, now you get the "Hey Mickey, Mickey, Mickey, Mickey" loop in this original 12" mix.
Enjoy! "Oh Mickey, what a pity, you don't understand..." What do you think of this song? #tonibasil,#heymickey,#lyrics,#1900s, #tonibasilheymickey,#music,#insideedition,#popular,#youtube, #musicvideo, #heymickeylyrics, #ohmickeylyrics, #heymickey,
