.I watched a classic movie the other day, a movie I had not seen since I was a child, a movie I had seen at least 20 times thanks to my chilhood friend who had it playing on her VCR non-stop, The movie is Labyrinth, about a goblin king a
nd a girl and a labyrinth etc etc, the story is not very important and upon seeing it recently, I began to notice something I had not noticed previously as an innocent, my-little-pony-loving, innocent, pre-pubescent,
innocent girl-child...

.David Bowie's pants. That's right, It would seem his magic goblin tights have a lead role in this film, not only that, the camera seems inexplicably drawn to focus the entire scene shot around his crotch. If you notice in the above picture even the lifeless puppets seem to be staring at it.

Bowie zombie pants
There's a song in this movie (why Yes! you'll be glad to hear it is a semi-musical!) the song is called 'Dance, Magic Dance', which is a ridiculous concept but if you substitute the words 'dance' for 'pants' the song makes a lot more sense.

you have no power over me...but those goblin tights...must look away....

Ha ha! xD I love that movie! My friends and I have watched it a dozen times or so and have definitely noticed Bowie's magical wonder pants. We never thought of the song though! You're right, it does make more sense now.
I was told I couldn't watch this film cos it was too scary so I went up to my best friends house and watched it on her VCR over the course of about three days. How rebellious was I?!
Ha! His pants have always creeped me out a bit...
