"Ricky" is a 1983 song by American parody artist "Weird Al" Yankovic, duetting with voice actress #TressMacNeille. It is a parody of the 1982 song "#Mickey" by #ToniBasil, which itself, is a cover of #MikeChapman and #NickyChinn's "Kitty" recorded by #Racey. The song focuses on #LucyAndRickyRicardo in 1950's #sitcom #ILoveLucy, and their general discussions and hobbies within the show. "Ricky" was one of the last two tracks added to ""Weird Al" Yankovic".

Today's random #Discogs choice Toni Basil and Mickey 7" 1982. Great 80s song brings back memories. Obviously, I've picked this up somewhere as Avril Westley was the previous owner. Had to mark her records for the local youth club disco, bring your own records.
