It's All About A Music Video....Toni Basil - Mickey

                         

It's all about the music video, don't ya think?!?!  HaHa!  This old 80's gem came across my pandora station this morning and i instantly thought back to the first time i saw this music video on MTV!  Isn't it great how certain music videos have a lasting impression?  Like the first time i saw "Thriller" or "Like A Virgin"!  Of course those two songs have a higher standard in my book than Tony Basil's "Mickey", but since the video was so ridiculous it will forever stick out in my mind!

The "Mickey" music video is still said to be one of MTV's most popular early videos from when the station hit first aired.  The cheerleading uniform that Basil wears is actually her real cheerleading uniform from Las Vegas High School, where she graduated.

If you know me well at all you should have already guessed that my love for this song stems from its easy clapping and stomping beats..... obviously.  I'm instantly thrown back to me dancing infront of the TV as a little kid watching all the new VH1 and MTV music videos, I  miss those days!

So here's a little pep for your Tuesday!
