    Bring Toni Basil's "Mickey" to the Rock Band platform!

    I rarely ever post on this forum, but with the recent influx of 80s pop/New Wave DLC and Cutting Crew's major hit coming out tomorrow, I thought I'd start a thread on getting Toni Basil's iconic 80s tune "Mickey" into the game!

    You all know the song (even Cipher's probably heard it before), though here's the famous video anyway:

    Just listen to those drums and that keyboard riff. This song would be an absolute BLAST on everything, and I'd love to see a pro upgrade for it, even if it'd be relatively easy (easier songs are more fun on pro, anyway, at least for me).

    Fun fact: All members of the band Devo, a band featured in Rock Band 3, played on Word of Mouth, Basil's biggest album. Basil even covered three Devo songs on the record.

    I would definitely buy it. I've said it many times and I'll say it again: New wave is seriously lacking in Rock Band.

    IIRC, Toni Basil was suing the label over publishing rights or something. And who knows if a master still exists/is usable.

    But yeah, this would be a fun, cheesy slice of 80's to play in RB and Blitz.

    Don't you know that we're getting all the songs in Blitz as DLC? If you buy it of course.

    I'm just praying the additional fee isn't so pricey, like Green Day: Rock Band.
