Toni Basil, the one-hit-wonder who recorded Mickey, is suing several companies, saying they have used the song without permission.

Basil's lawyers say the 73-year-old "has experienced sleep deprivation, nightmares and anxiety" as a result of use of the song.

The star is also aggrieved by a 2008 episode South Park in which characters chant, "Obama you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Obama, hey Obama," over the original vocals.
