Toni Basil - Mickey FLAC download

I wonder how many people realise that this is a cover of the song 'Kitty' (written by songwriters and producers Mike Chapman & Nicky Chinn) from the 1979 album "Smash and Grab" by the British pop group Racey.

B Side Extended Version is the same Special Club Mix and runs 5:58

This LP contains a spanish version of "Mickey", accredited to Carmen Moreno.

This 45 contains the only two songs off Word of Mouth worth listening to. The rest of the songs off that album seemed to try to play off of the quirkiness of Mickey, but in a "children's music made for adults" kind of way. As a novelty, I can see it as "cute". But for general listening, it gets annoying fast (as some would say about "Mickey" anyway). I know some of the songs on that album were originally by Devo, but it's one of those things where it's like the wrong person got cast for a role. Better left to the originals.

I have a white label version of this that one side says "TAKE IT LIKE A MAN" and the other has a pic of who i assume to be toni basil that has been crudely doctored up to have mickey mouse ears superimposed behind her. Some good remixes though, very hip hop/turntablism-styled songs
