Written by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn as "Kitty", it was first recorded by UK music group Racey during 1979 appearing on their debut album ''Smash and Grab''. Toni Basil changed the name from Kitty to Mickey to make the song about a man. Basil commented on the effect of this change: "When it's a guy singing about a girl, it's a sweet line. But when a girl sings it, it must mean butt fucking!" For years, it had been rumoured that the name was changed to Mickey because Basil was fond of The Monkees' drummer and lead vocalist Micky Dolenz after meeting him on the set of their movie ''Head'' for which she was the choreographer; however, this claim has been disputed by Basil, who said she didn't know Dolenz that well.〔 A music video for the song, featuring costuming and choreography inspired by cheerleader dance routines, was played heavily on MTV. Filmed in 1981, the video is considered the very first choreographed dance video, and the opening stunt, where a cheerleader jumps through the center of a human pyramid, is now illegal in competition.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Internet Movie Database )〕 The single scored number one on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 for one week and number two in the UK Singles Chart. The song was Basil's only Top 40 success,〔 making her a "one-hit wonder". It was named #5 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of All Time, #16 on ''20 to 1s Top 20 One Hit Wonders Countdown and #57 on VH1's ''100 Greatest Songs of the '80s''. It has also appeared on multiple ''greatest'' or ''best'' lists and countdowns. ==Charts and certifications== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mickey (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
