Word of Mouth (Toni Basil album)

The album features the number-one worldwide hit "Mickey", as well as three covers of songs by Devo, who also performed on those three tracks ("Be Stiff", "Space Girls", which is a re-titled "Space Girl Blues", and "You Gotta Problem", which is a re-titled "Pity You").

The U.S. version of the album added the songs "Rock On" (a David Essex cover) and "Shoppin' from A to Z", deleting "Hanging Around".

The lead single "Mickey" became an international hit, earning a double platinum certification.

The album, which was released shortly after, was also a success, peaking at number 22 and receiving a Gold certification.

However, the following singles, "Nobody" in the UK and "Shoppin' from A to Z" in the US, both under-performed, which cut the album's success short.
