You know back in high school when your friends told you that urban tale of putting on Pink Floyd’s classic album The Dark Side of the Moon while you watched The Wizard of Oz? That if you started it the album on the third lion’s roar it would sync perfectly? Bryan Pugh thought the very same thing, so he made it happen and uploaded the results onto Vimeo. I tried this about 10 years ago, and I have to say that there are definitely some weird things that match up between the movie and the music.

An easy example, at 3 minutes in, the lyrics say “look around”, and Dorothy looks back at her family, and then 20 seconds later the lyrics say “all you touch” and she touches the man’s arm. Now, those could just be coincidences, but then skip ahead to 4 minutes in when Dorothy is walking on the pig pen, and the lyrics say, “balanced on the biggest wave, headed toward an early grave”, and then she falls into the pig pen, and the music sways and shifts suddenly. It’s things like that which make you think there’s something to this. The other thing I can remember off the top of my head is when her house lands in Oz, as soon as she opens the door the song Money starts, the color green everywhere around her. I also just happened to skip ahead to about 57 minutes in, and the lyrics say “cause the faithful to fall to their knees” and at that moment the scarecrow tumbles to his knees.

If you have some extra time (and some mind-altering substances) you should totally check this out.
