We all remember Toni Basil from her 1982 cheerleading anthem, “Mickey.”  But did you that Toni also covered a few Devo songs on the same album with “Mickey” on it?  

Here she is covering Devo’s “Pity You” from the New Traditionalists album.  Her version is called, “You Got A Problem.”

Here Toni Basil covers the classic, “Be Stiff!”

Basil was going out with Jerry Casale at the time and Devo actually served as the backing band on these tracks.  

As for “Mickey,” credit for that song goes to Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn. Don’t worry, those dudes have their own blog post coming soon!
