"Mickey's Monkey" is a 1963 song recorded by the R&B group #theMiracles on #Motown Records' #Tamla label. It was written and produced by Motown's main songwriting team of #BrianHolland, #LamontDozier, and #EddieHolland, who later went on to write two more Miracles hit singles, the Top 40 "I Gotta Dance to Keep From Crying", and the Top 20 "(Come 'Round Here) I'm The One You Need". This was an unusual writing situation for the Miracles.
