Do you know the song called Mickey by Toni Basil? I didn't know it was inspired by Micky Dolenz of The Monkees! LOL! And the singer Toni Basil was in The Monkees movie Head, she did a dance routine with Davy :-)

Cool!!! I Didn't know that!! I found this too:
This was originally recorded as "Kitty" by a group called Racey. In the original lyrics, Kitty was a girl. Toni Basil changed the lyrics from "Kitty" to "Mickey" and the gender from female to male. She decided on "Mickey" as she was fond of former Monkee Micky Dolenz, who she choreographed in the 1968 Monkees movie Head. Tony Basil can be seen in Head in the surreal sequence where Davy Jones and Tony Basil dance alternately in a white and a black room, wearing a combination of white and black.
:-)))
