<P> Toni Basil's version of the song was initially issued as a single in the UK in May 1981, but did not chart at that time . Reissued in January 1982, "Mickey" quickly became a substantial UK hit, reaching number 2 . It was issued in Australia by April, where over the summer it rose to number 1 . </P> <P> Finally issued in North America in August 1982, "Mickey" became a number 1 hit in the US and Canada in late 1982, a year and a half after its original release . </P> <P> For years, it had been rumored 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 denied by Basil, who said she didn't know Dolenz that well . Rumors also circulated that the lines "any way you want to do it / I'll take it like a man", in the gender - swapped lyrics, referred to anal sex; Basil strenuously denies this interpretation, calling it "ridiculous". </P> <P> Two different music videos for the song were recorded, one featuring Basil with a backing band, and another featuring costuming and choreography inspired by cheerleader dance routines . Filmed in 1981, the Cheerleader 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 . </P>
