Why this vid kicks ass:

It's no secret that many Labyrinth fans are also Bowie fans and vice versa. Not only is it fun to see film clips set to one of his songs not originally written for the film, but it's wonderful to watch how Mary's managed to get the puppets lip-synching along with the chorus (and even Jareth lip-synching along with Bowie), something I'm only more familiar with in anime music videos. And on top of all of that pure nostalgic enjoyment and display of technical skill, this vid captures the glittering, incongruously bouncy angst of the fandom just beautifully. Ah, poor Jareth.

As Mary says, "You may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting."

Remember... they always let you down when you need 'em...
