    Here's another clue:

    The singer wore a large hat on the cover of the record.

    The singers biggest hit went to number 1 and her video featured her dressed as a cheerleader.

    Here I am, back in this (unusually) snowy country. I'm afraid I know the answer to this quiz, as I said in more than one occasion, there are some chapters in the history of the Dance music that should be forgotten: TONI BASIL (the singer in question) and his single "Over my head" wouldn't be that bad, but just the vision of her dressed as cheerleader in the video of "Mickey" (that in my personal opinion is one of the worst EVER number one songs) I feel it as a act of mnemonic violence, please, let's try to forget!!!!
