  • I onley like the start :)

  • Omg whered you get these clips? Im so jealous when he kisses the 2 girls xD Good work

  • Comment removed

  • I love the Monkees, Mickey is great and this is splendid, funny, clever, excellent timing; I'd just say the actual Toni Basil song title was just "Mickey" not with a "hey"..but this is super!

  • cool song!!!

  • i love this song! :D

  • i love it. good job

  • I love him! Great video!

  • He is truly great :D

  • 0:58 to 1:01 I wish that was me!

  • great video! I love Mickey, but Mike is my favorite Monkee!!!!! ;)

  • Mickey Dolenz? THATS WHO IT'S ABOUT? Are you kidding?

  • was this song written about him??

  • @xLookAtMoi No, it was written as a cover of "Kitty" by Racey, about a girl.

  • I've got to say I have no idea who the dude is (was a little before my time) but the song is always a classic. He's pretty easy on the eyes anyways if that is, he were up-to-date on fashion.

  • The drummer and often singer from the Monkees, Micky Dolenz. The story is that it was originally a song about a girl ("Hey Kitty"), but Toni Basil had a crush on Micky Dolenz while she was choreographing their movie, Head, so she changed it up and made it about Micky.

  • i love this song lol i have to do a gymnastic routine to it for our gymnastic christmas dysplay we get to were mini skirts leg warmers and hair in pigtails

  • opps 0:24 i guess 2:24 is cool too XD

  • 2:24

  • From 2:57-3:03,I'm sorry but he looks so hot there.

    XD

    My friends andI say that he looks like Brendon Urie there!

  • Im sorry but i see absolutely no resemblence

  • Don't forget, Mickey Mouse was quite possibly named after child actor Mickey Rooney. ;-)

  • Micky Rooney was born way after Micky Mouse was created...

  • Mickey Rooney was born in 1920 and Mickey Mouse was created in 1928. I have no idea if he really was named after Rooney, but I looked it up on Wikipedia and it said the following: "Mr. Disney originally named the character Mortimer Mouse, but his wife insisted that this was a poor name choice. Actor Mickey Rooney has claimed that, during his Mickey McGuire days, he met cartoonist Walt Disney at the Warner Brothers studio, and that Disney was inspired to name Mickey Mouse after him."

  • i love tyhus saong

  • Awesome tribute!

  • i never knew this b4 now i love the song even more :)

    The song "Hey Mickey" by Toni Basil in the '80s was about the only "Mickey" she knew--Dolenz. Toni choreographed The Monkees' movie Head (1968) and was in the movie dancing with Davy Jones in the harem scene. She went on to appear in Easy Rider (1969) (which involved Jack Nicholson and Bert Schneider, who were a big part of "Head").

  • There's a great parody of this song by "Weird Al" Yankovic, titled "Ricky," a tribute to the classic TV sitcom "I Love Lucy."

    The best line from the parody is "Oh, Ricky,

    what a pity, don't you understand/That every day's a rerun, and the laughter's always canned."

    Of course that's a bit disingenuous, because, unlike most of the TV sitcoms of the 1950's & '60's, "I Love Lucy" WAS actually filmed before a studio audience, so no laugh tracks or "canned laughter," as commonly called.

  • This is a great video tribute to Micky Dolenz, and by creating it, "CheekeeMonkee," you've brought to fruition Basil's intent in doing the song.

    But Yankovic's version of this song, especially his video, is even more clever & entertaining than Basil's.

    In fact, I'll bet Yankovic's original video for "Ricky" is even uploaded here on the Tube. I think I'll go have a look-see right now, then report back here for anybody who's interested.

  • Yes, "Weird Al" video of "Ricky" is right here on You Tube, as is the Toni Basil original of "Mickey." It would be great fun to watch the original Toni Basil video, this Micky Dolenz tribute one here, and the "Ricky" video back-to-back-to-back on one's media player of choice!

    Who knows, maybe even the original original, "Kitty," by Racey, is also uploaded? In which case, add that to your video mix as well.

  • Also, are you by any chance a Mike Myers fan? I remember that "cheeky monkey" line from one of Myers' "Saturday Night Live" skits, "Simon," where the character, sitting in a bathtub while showing his drawings, implored viewers not to stare at his "bum."

    Apparently that skit was inspired by an actual, British children's TV series, "Simon In The Land Of Chalk Drawings," where the child character would enter (via his backyard fence) the action of his pictures drawn on a magic chalkboard.

  • Yes Gymnastix, I do happen to be a Mike Myers/comedy/SNL fan and that is originally where the inspirtation for my username came, I just tweaked it a little to fit better my situation. I wish I could drop the numbers at the end of my name though...oh well...thanks.

  • By the way, you "CheekeeMonkee," the Toni Basil version of this song (originally titled "Kitty" & recorded by the British group Racey) was titled "Mickey," not "Hey Mickey."

    But you've done a superb job in editing and syncing this video, really, it's one of the better music videos I've seen here on You Tube!

  • Of course this video could also have been dedicated to another "Mickey" of rock & Roll--one Michael Phillip Jagger, also known as "Mickey" Jagger.

    And let's not forget the most famous Mickey of them all--one Mr. Mick E. Mouse.

    But the latter already had a song written in his honor--

    "Who's the leader of the club that's made for you & me?/M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!"

  • o micky your so fine, your so fine you blow my mind!

    HEY MICKY!!!

  • oh micky your so fine, your so fine you blow my mind.. hey micky!!!

  • This video is great. Thanks for helping to preserve the memory that is the gorgeous Micky Dolenz. I can't wait to meet him when he comes to Alaska this fall! I LOVE this man and hope he continues to do what he does best for MANY more years to come!

  • I'm sure you know this...but this video is posted on Micky's Official Myspace music page. He must have really liked it.

    It says "I wish this was about me". I'm sure refering to the song.

    But, how cool is that?

    This rocks!

    THX!

    I luv it!

  • Actually, this song WAS about Micky Dolenz.

    Originally the song was recorded by the British pop group Racey as "Kitty," but Toni Basil changed the title to "Mickey" when she recorded it in 1979 (three years before it became a hit), as a tribute to a crush she developed on Dolenz when Basil choreographed & acted in The Monkees' film "Head," some 15 years previous.

    Basil had quite an extensive resume as a dancer-choreographer, actress & even singer, years before she had a hit with "Mickey."

  • OMG you dont know who he is?!?!? Well i cant blame ya. He was from a band in the 1960's called the monkees. They also had a tv show. My favorite is Mike! I LOVE THE MONKEES!!!!!!

  • sorry buy who actually writed this song ?

  • o never mind! i thought he was from the monkeeys!

  • is he dead now? whats he from?

  • i sent this to my Micky Dolenz-crazy friend cheyann (cheychey2389) and she loved it! (i'm more of a Peter fan myself,but Micky's nice) :)

  • I wonder if Micky knew this song was about him when it came out? :)

  • My favorite 80's song and my favorite Monkee! I like this!

  • I thought mickey was a mouse, no wait yeah- duh!

  • Hey, not to be rude, but where'd you download this song? I"m not gonna copy your video, (my comp wont let me download videos on here anywho).

  • The shot of Micky at 2:31 blows my mind!!! :D

  • LOLOLOLOL so like i basically laffed the whole time!

  • i wondered why it was called micky bc he was the only popular micky at that time.

  • I saw this song in a movie about cheering. That's a good song.

  • Cute Vid. Nice job of putting clips together. Thanks for sharing.

  • Well done!! I truly enjoyed watching this. I saw and met Micky Dolenz almost a year ago (last September) when he played a club here in my town with his sister Coco and his band. Needless to say my heart still went pitter patter. :-) Again great job on this video. Thanks for sharing.

  • lol i loved how he was all over peter angry like and how he stepped on that guys foot he's cute :) i like that song and grungrug FORGET YOU MICKY RULES!!!!!!!!

  • omg micky is SO CUTE!! i love his little grin too. ;D great clip! "hey micky you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind hey micky!" true words :)

  • "oh mickey what a pity YOU dont understand" lmao "cant YOU understand". oooooo lol ???

  • Thank You!

    Peace!

  • Nice video. What a great walk down memory lane. I remember the Monkees, they were the first (and only) group I ever went totally crazy over. I caught a bad case of Monkee-mania back then, and am not ashamed to admit that I still have it at 50+ years.

  • Totally cute- brought back so many memories!!!

    Perfect fit with your edits and the song.

  • Totally cute- brought back so many memories!!!

    Perfect fit with your edits and the song.

  • Hey this is REALLY good! I LOVED the show as a kid & always wondered whatever happened to them. :) I wonder what Mickey would say if he saw this little clip?

  • that dude was in a band called th emonkeys i am soo stupid i didnt recognize it!

  • LOL- I love iT-

  • I'm not so sure she wasn't singing this to Mr. Dolenz, but it's a nice thought.

  • Actually, she was! Toni didn't write the song - it was originally called 'Kitty' and she switched the lyrics around so it was sung by a girl to a guy instead of the other way around - but she chose 'Mickey' because she'd had a crush on Micky Dolenz while she was choreographer on the Monkees' movie. ^_^

  • I guess she wanted to keep it under wraps or she wouldnt have put the e in Mickey

  • Who in their right mind WOULDN'T want to write a song about Micky Dolenz?! He is breath-takingly SEXY!!!

  • don't the spice girls do this?

  • actually she was thinking of him when she did this song.

  • I know she had a big crush on him, thats so cool! :)

  • She was actually thinking of him, in one of my Monkee Tivia books, It stated this song was infact about him. :) Tony Basil wrote an amazing song. :)

  • omg! i feel the same way!!!!!!!! looooooooove micky!!!!!!!

  • Any1 else think he looks like sam off supernatural?

  • yer a bit.. lol

  • OMG i couldn't figure out who sam reminded me of! thanks!

  • Great video! The song goes great with the pictures. Always loved Micky.

  • ummmm... gd

  • just joking!!

  • its a girl by da way pepitotheiguana

  • Micky's a dude, the guy in the video. The person singing the song Toni Basil is a chick...heh! ;)

  • i love this song!! its so catchy dont you think??

  • According to Wikipedia, this song was *actually* sung about Mickey from the Monkeys. Apparently Toni had appeared briefly in their movie "Head."

  • Excellent job on this video! Everything was timed up perfectly :) I was a huge Monkees fan as a girl, and this was really fun to watch!

  • damn im young and he is fine

  • micky is my favorite to.and as for cut oh yea.

  • wow its a girl i dont know why i thought it was a guy thats funny but i thought micky was a girl i used to want to change my name

    to micky no idea why i just really liked this song

  • You probably thought because her name was "Tony" (but spelled Toni). And then Micky...I guess...sounds like a girls name...but then again if you think of Mickey Mouse he's not...I don't know...But I do know there are girls who are called "Micky" for short...I think it might be short for Michelle or Michela...I think...so if you wanna be called Micky go for it!!!

  • i also thought the name was nicky once and like i thought since my name was nicole that it would work then i just forgot but now people call me bit bit i have no idea why

  • hi, were mates... huh? X

  • lol!! do you want to be my friend?

  • Well well, it seems Toni and I have the same opinion of Mr. Dolenz! A fantastic video that shows his playful nature-and really, is there any song MORE appropriate for a Micky tribute? :)

  • AMEN! ;) hehhe! Glad you see it the way I see it :D

  • Where can I get the song but without the voice??

  • Do you mean with out the singer? Or the little clip in front? If you mean without the singer I'm not sure...I'd try looking into Karaoke CDs and/ or Karaoke machines for it like that. Otherwise I know there's a way to do it...but you need special equiptment and software that it gets a bit pricey...

  • this song is classic it owns but it dont sound like tony basil it sounds like a girl unless he is a girl

  • Um...it's Toni and it IS a girl...yeah...hehehe!
