"You remind me of the babe."
"What babe?"
"The babe with the power."
"What power?"
"The power of voodoo!"
"Who do?"
"You do!"
"Do what?"
"Remind me of the babe!"
Jareth, the Goblin King, as played by the incomparable David Bowie...in a movie that was created just as an excuse to get Bowie in a crazy wig and have him dance with Muppets. It was a roaring success.
