Toni Basil is still so fine, she can blow your mind.
The singer, known for her 1981 one hit wonder “Mickey,” still has the moves at the age of 74. This she proved in a Twitter video posted by Bette Midler on Tuesday.
“Get up on your feet and put some joy back into your life!!!” Midler wrote. Despite her age, it can be seen that Basil is kicking with her moves and being in sync with the beat of a song.

Many were surprised with Basil’s moves, especially with her ability to groove at her age. A commenter named Susan Doyle (@SusanDoyle1963) aspires to be like the singer when she too hits 74.

Inetti Soler (@InettiSoler) noted that she was quite the opposite of Basil. She joked: “I’m 47 and can rarely get out of bed without sound effects and a stream of cursing.”

These days, Basil has been rarely seen. She is an active dance instructor and panelist who judges street dance events internationally, according to the singer’s website. /ra
