Hahaha. It's all about that weird androgynous Jareth appeal. The real question is, can show up with the same level of spandex bulge as Bowie? On a serious note, I always thought that was weird. This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I watched it probably well over a hundred times (that and Hook). There was no real good reason for Bowie's cock to have the role in that movie that it did. It always struck me as a perverted call, like everyone filming that movie didn't notice what was going in that final broken-sky-castle scene. Come on. They wanted little kids looking at a wiener. There's no two ways about it.
