Toni Basil changed the name to “Mickey” because of her fondness for Mickey Dolenz of ‘The Monkees’. Read any book from a series of which you are fond. **

The music video for the song was inspired by cheerleader Froutines. Read any Young Adult book. **

In the video, Toni Basil wore her head cheerleader uniform from Las Vegas High School. Read a book set in Nevada or whose author is from Nevada -OR- read a book with a cover showing a desert scene or any item used for gambling (playing cards, dice, cash, etc)

Mickey is considered by some to be a “new wave” song. Read a book in which a character visits the beach -OR- with a cover showing a beach or ocean scene -OR- a predominantly blue cover. **

“Weird Al” Yankovic parodied the song on his debut album. Read any book you find funny or amusing or just plain weird.

“Oh Mickey, you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind!” Read a book featuring a fine looking man on the cover.

Oh wow, I finished that one in less than three months. Radical! Now I can, like, totally wear my new jelly bracelets and leg warmers to, like, all the cool kid parties that I , like, so got invited to.

(I think I need to go be sick for a little bit after typing that.....)
