Always loved that song. Do you have any idea who performs the Fireys? I think Kevin Clash was one, but I'm unsure of the rest. Any help would be appreciated!

Well I just watched the movie with the captioning turned on...and it's WILD GANG not FIRE GANG...man and I was so sure it was fire gang, cause that made more sense...

Also it is BANG HEADS not BAD HEP

And it is "Aint got no real-estate or jewelry or gold mines to hang me up" like Sylindebren originally posted. So if I can edit my original post I will to make the corrections.

I need to watch it again too more closely to see what else they say different if I missed anything....

When the sun goes down (when the sun goes down)
And the bats are back to bed (and the bats are back)
The brothers come 'round (brothers come 'round)
I get out of my dirty bed (my dirty bed)
I shake my pretty little head (shake my pretty little head)
Tap my pretty little feet (tap my pretty little feet)
Feeling brighter than sunlight (oh)
Louder than thunder (oh)
Dancin' like a yuh-yuh, wooh (oh) (this might actually be YO-YO since they bounce up and down...hmmm blows my whole theory)

Don't got no problems (no problems)
Ain't got no suitcase (no suitcase)
Ain't got no clothes to worry about (no clothes to worry about)
Ain't got no real estate or jewelry or gold mines to hang me up!

I just throw in my hand (throw in my hand)
With the chilliest bunch in the land (in the land)
They don't look much (oh)
They're sure chilly chilly (oh)
They positively glow glow, huh (oh)

Chilly down with the wild gangs
Think small with the wild gang (It's the only way)
Bang heads (heads) with the wild gang (a smile a day keeps the doctor away)
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down

Chilly down with the wild gang (Hey, I'm a wild child)
Act tall with the wild gang (whoo, walk tall)
Good times, bad food (BLEH! blub blub blub blub! ha ha ha ha)
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down, chilly down

Drive'em crazy, really lazy, eye rollin', funky strollin',
Ball playin', hip swayin', trouble makin', booty shakin',
Tripping, passing, jumping, bouncing, growlin', stylin', creepin', pouncing,
Shoutin', screamin', double dealin', rockin' rollin', an a readin' (still not positive about this word)
With the mackin' sex appealin'.
Can you dig our groovy feelin'?

So when things get too tough (get too tough)
And your chin is dragging on the ground (dragging on the ground)
And even down looks up (down looks up)
Bad luck (ha ha ha ha ha!)
We can show you a good time (show you a good time)
And we don't charge nu t'ing (nothin' at all)
Just strut your nasty stuff, (ah)
Wiggle in the middle yeh (ah)
Get the town a talkin' wild gang

Chilly down with the wild gang (t'ink small)
Think small with the wild gang (bad hep)
Bang heads with the wild gang (hey, listen up)
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down

Chilly down with the wild gang (ah, shake your pretty little head)
Act tall with the wild gang (tap your pretty likkle feet)
Good times, bad food (come on, come on)
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down

Chilly down with the wild gang (wooh)
Think small with the wild gang (ha ha ha ha ha)
Bang heads with the wild gang

If you listen to them they DO say 'fire gang'. It was just a mistake made by the people (or computer) that captioned it.

I've seen several DVD's with small mitsakes like that.

We need a Firey smiley. :scary:

Toby Philpott played the one that pulled it's eyes out, i was geeking out with him over Labyrinth and Dark Crystal and he said that particular fiery is a big fan favorite and he didn't really know why. :zany:

These are the lyrics from the official Labyrinth vocal piano and guitar sheet music:

When the sun goes down (when the sun goes down)
And the bats are back to bed (and the bats are back)
The brothers come 'round (the brothers come 'round)
I get out of my dirty bed (my dirty bed)
I shake my pretty little head (shake my pretty little head)
Tap my pretty little feet (tap my pretty little feet)
Feeling brighter than sunlight (oh)
Louder than thunder (oh)
Bouncing like a yo-yo, wooh

Don't got no problems (no problems)
Ain't got no suitcase (no suitcase)
Ain't got no clothes to worry about (no clothes to worry about)
Ain't got no real estate or jewelry or gold mines to hang me up

I just throw in my hand (throw in my hand)
With the chilliest bunch in the land (in the land)
They don't look much (oh)
They sure chilly chilly (oh)
They positively glow glow, huh

Chilly down with the fire gang
Think small with the fire gang (It's the only way)
Bad hep with the fire gang (A smile a day keeps the doctor away)
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down

Chilly down with the fire gang
Act tall with the fire gang (ooh, walk tall)
Good times, bad food (yeah)
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down, chilly down

Drive you crazy, really lazy, eye rollin', funky strollin' ball playing
hip swayin', trouble makin', booty shakin', tripping, passing, jumping
bouncing, drivin', stylin', creeping bouncing, shoutin', screamin'
double-dealin', rockin', rollin' and a reelin' with the mackin' sex appealin'.
Can you dig our groovy feelin'?

So when things get too tough (get too tough)
And your chin is dragging on the ground (dragging on the ground)
And even down looks up (down looks up)
Bad luck heh heh
We can show you a good time (show you a good time)
And we don't charge nothin' (nothing at all)
Just strut your nasty stuff (oh)
Wiggle in the middle, yeh (oh)
Get the town talkin', fire gang
Chilly down with the fire gang (think small)
Think small with the fire gang (bad hep)
Bad hep with the fire gang (hey, listen up)
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down

Chilly down with the fire gang (hey, shake your pretty little head)
Act tall with the fire gang (tap your pretty little feet)
Good times, bad food (come on, come on)
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down

Chilly down with the fire gang (wooh)
Think small with the fire gang
Bad hep with the fire gang
