"Mickey" (originally titled as "Kitty") is a song recorded by American singer Toni Basil for her debut studio album, Word of Mouth (1981).

Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn wrote the song, while production was helmed by Greg Mathieson and Trevor Veitch.

The song was originally performed by British pop group Racey, with the title "Kitty", and was included on their debut studio album Smash and Grab in 1979.

The original Racey song did not include the "Oh Mickey, you're so fine" chant, which Basil added.

[6] For years, it was rumored that the name was changed to Mickey because Basil developed a crush on the Monkees' drummer and lead vocalist Micky Dolenz, after meeting him on the set of their film Head, for which she was the choreographer.

[7] In January 2020, Basil released a re-recording of the song as "Hey Mickey" to digital and streaming platforms.

[8] On August 31, 2017, Basil filed a multi-claim lawsuit against Razor & Tie Direct, Forever 21, Disney, Viacom, VH1, and South Park.

[12] Rock critic Robert Christgau commented on the perceived 'obscene' content of the lyric "So come on and give it to me / Any way you can / Any way you want to do it / I'll take it like a man".

Christgau wrote in a review at the time that Basil "was the only woman ever to offer to take it up the ass on Top 40 radio."
