Hi, I just wanted to start off by saying thank you for joining. A singer that stuck in my mind, and I thought I would talk about is Toni Basil. She sang this song, “Mickey,” That came out in 1982and I could not get it out of my head as a kid. It’s funny how when I listen to the song as an adult, I get the meaning, but as a child, I was like “YAY.” What struck me the most was the beat of the drums. I loved it. as for the cheerleading outfit. I went to catholic school, so I just hitched my skirt up to make it look like that. So you can say she was a bad influence, but I loved the song.

  There are a lot of songs out there that as a kid, I didn’t always get the meaning of until later in life. I remember the song well though. I was 7 years old when this came out. So I didn’t get the meaning at that age either. But the cheerleader outfit made sense, the lyrics are sang as if it is a cheer routine, with the handclaps also giving it that feel. Brings back youthful memories. Nice post, cuz. Appreciate you.
