AN: I do not own the song or the characters of the movie. They belong to Jim Henson. Otherwise, I hope you like. I once heard this one was impossible to do, but I did it and I hope you like.


This is my analysis of Magic Dance. There is not really too much to analyze so I will do as much as I can for as little as I have to work with. I believe they are talking about Sarah in the fact, well just read it!!!

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. A goblin babe.

He is saying here that the goblins remind him of Sarah. (somehow they do) Sarah has the power to control every thing that he does. But somehow I seem to get mixed signals here in the fact that Toby is supposed to be turned into a goblin.

I saw my baby, crying hard as babe could cry. What could I do? My baby's love had gone and left my baby blue. What could I do? Nobody knew.

Here he is saying that Sarah is his babe, and she is crying over not being able to find Toby quick enough and not being able to solve the Labyrinth to get home. Her love for her parents have gone and left her sad, but he doesn't know what to do in a case such as Sarah's.

What kind of magic spell to use? Slime and snails, Or puppy dog tails, thunder or lightning. Then baby said

He is saying that he doesn't know what kind of magic to use to subdue Sarah so she will figure out that he loves her. But then he turns to the baby now, which is Toby, for advice.

Dance magic, dance (magic dance, magic) Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Dance magic dance. Put that baby spell on me. Jump magic jump (jump magic jump) Jump magic jump Put that magic jump on me Slap that baby, Make him free.

I don't really know what he is saying here. I just think that it is something to make the goblins have fun. But in the saying 'put that baby spell on me', the goblins are saying 'use what ever you have to do to subdue Sarah (they are under his control and they are intimidated by the Goblin King so they mist agree with him, since they obviously are when he tells them to laugh and they do.) The last part after 'jump magic jump' I have no clue about.

I saw my baby, trying hard as babe could try. What could I do? My baby's fun had gone and left my baby blue. Nobody knew

Here at this part of the song, David puts his finger to his nose, which is a British way of saying 'I have a secret' I believe the secret to be the peach is his decision about what spell to use to subdue Sarah, and the fact that he loves Sarah.

What kind of magic spell to use? Slime and snails, or puppy dog tails, Thunder or Lightning. Something frightening. And baby said

The spell he is going to use is going to be slime and snail, but instead of snails it is a worm, and there is slime in the peach with the worm. The 'something frightening' is supposed to be a secret, but us Labyrinthians know it to be a way of saying that he has something up his sleeve to scare Sarah and the rest of his goblins.

AN: OMG I think I am the first person ever to make sense out of the song!!!! I am the first ever!!!! Boy was that hard to do. Well that was my analysis of Magic Dance.
