Chapter 3 The Song
Disclaimer: I do not own the Labyrinth or the song Magic Dance, or iTunes.
a/n: Thanks to my beta Talim Sparrow.
One day Jareth was singing to the goblins in the Throne room 'Magic Dance'.
You remind me of the baby
What baby? the baby with the power
What power? power of voodoo
Who do? you do
Do what? remind me of the baby
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
Nobody knew:
What kind of magic spell to use?
Slime and snails
Or puppy dogs' tails
Thunder or lightning
Then baby said
Dance magic, dance
Dance magic, dance
Put that baby spell on me
Jump magic, jump
Jump magic, jump
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free
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.
Jareth was dancing around the Throne room as he was singing. He was enjoying himself. The goblins were dancing and jumping in the air. Jareth even kicked the odd goblin in the air too. The goblins did not mind a bit, because they could not be hurt; They just bounced on the ground.
Sarah sneaked into the room. She had to hide behind a pillar so that Jareth would not see her. She smiled at the scene before her then she began to record him singing the song on a tape recorder. Sarah then decided she was going to send the song to iTunes. She had to go aboveground to carry it out. They accepted the song Sarah sent to them. The song was a hit and it became quite popular to the people aboveground. Sarah did not know that it was popular.
When Jareth was aboveground for a summons the place that he went to had the song he had sung to the goblins playing from a strange device. The device was a music player. Jareth appeared menacing to the girl who made the wish. He knew that her name was Lisa. He asked Lisa where did she get the song from. Then Lisa told him she had gotten it from iTunes. It was a very popular song and was available to anyone that had access to iTunes.
Jareth asked what was iTunes was. Lisa then went to her computer and showed him what iTunes was. Okay! He thought now he had to do his thing. Then Jareth did his usual spiel about her running the Labyrinth for her baby brother. Lisa ran the Labyrinth and won her baby brother back.
Every time that he had to go aboveground he kept hearing the song. After hearing the song so many times it started to get on his nerves. Jareth decided to take action so he summoned Sarah to his study to ask about the song that was making the rounds aboveground. He asked Sarah if she was responsible for the song. Sarah told him that she was responsible for it. Jareth told her that it was very popular aboveground. Sarah was very surprised, for she did not know it was a hit. He asked her how she did it. Sarah explained that she had gotten a tape recorder and taped the song as he was singing it. She told him he had a very good singing voice.
Jareth told her it was getting on his nerves. Sarah then told her that there was nothing he could do about the song for it now belonged to iTunes. He was not too amused about the whole thing. Sarah told him that he had to grin and bare it.
He thought to himself, I have to get even with Sarah, and find a good prank to pull on her.
A/N: The idea for this prank came from Charm Shadow
