A marvelous ‘literal video’ rendition of ‘As The World Falls Down’ - check it out and share it, let’s make this reach far and wide!
Pouty face girl soon walks across the room/photos come alive/once her head whips to the side/That’s a big head for you
Poetry!
How did I not know there were multiple music videos for songs from Labyrinth?!
Fact: Jareth is not only the Goblin king, he’s also the king of leather, eyeshadow, hairspray, glitter, and RAINBOWS!
Hottie hot hottie.
This is just relevant to, well, everything.

Prince of the land of stench!
Jareth knows how to make sweeping gestures, doesn’t he?

As much as I would love Jean Dujardins in everything (see a few posts below), David Bowie would be a close second.
Maybe even first.

The idea, [Brian] Froud explains to Empire, was always that Sarah, reaching the age of sexual awakening, is a lustful fan of Bowie-like rock stars, and therefore creates Jareth in a Bowie-like image. “We’re not looking at reality, we’re inside this girl’s head”, explains the artist. “There are references to all sorts of things in his costume. There’s the danger of a leather boy in his leather jacket, which also has a reference to the armour of a certain type of German knight in it; there are references to Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights; and the tight trousers are a reference to ballet dancers. He’s an amalgam of the inner fantasies of this girl. Everyone always talks about Bowie’s perv pants, but there was a reason for it all! It has a surface that’s fairly light, but then every so often you go, ‘Oh, my God! How did we get away with that?!”

Welp. Definitely calling Jareth’s pants “perv pants” from now on.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyl5hzOXMT1qjbsz5o1_1280.jpg)

David Bowie with The Junk Lady. A publicity photo, presumably shot when Bowie was filming the music video for Underground.
