Interesting Toni Basil/Mickey facts from swinginchicks.com:

"Mickey" was written by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, the team that also wrote "Love Is a Battlefield" for Pat Benatar ... supposedly the song was going to be called "Kitty," as sung by a man to a woman ... Toni's "Mickey" video of "Mickey" landed in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as an example of a "one-hit wonder," and in 2001 VH1 named it the #1 one-hit wonder of all time ... it also got one of the greatest kudos possible for a song -- a parody version by "Weird Al" Yankovic, this one called "Ricky" and working on "I Love Lucy" themes ...
