Basil no longer wears the cheerleading outfit from the video of the 1980s hit, which shot to No. 1 on the Billboard charts in December 1982 thanks to exposure on MTV, but Basil is being cheered by many fans on social media for her latest video, The Huffington Post reported.

Pop diva Bette Midler posted a clip of Basil dancing to Lady Alma's "It's House Music" to her Twitter account on Tuesday. "Toni B is 74! Get up on your feet and put some joy back into your life!!!" Midler tweeted.

"A mere youngster," tweeted actor William Shatner, who is 87.

Born Antonia Christina Basilotta, Basil has been an actress, choreographer and dancer. According to her website, she acted in several films, including "Easy Rider" and "Five Easy Pieces." Basil also did choreography for the 1973 movie, "American Graffiti" and acted on television, appearing most notably on "Laverne and Shirley."

Basil’s dancing ability remains crisp, and she still blows our mind when she performs.

Here is the official video of “Mickey” from 1982:

My second favorite would be Chizuru from “Kimi ni Todoke”. She was fun because she has so many sides to her beautiful personality. She’s a rough and tough chick, but she also has her moments where she can be dumb and silly, and she gets hilariously emotional when she’s with her friends. I had a blast playing her! Then third on my favorites list is Yohane (also known as Yoshiko). She’s from “Love Live! Sunshine!!”, which is such a cute show, especially if you love girl bands!
