Pink Floyd's Tribute to the Wizard of Oz

I usually post this to my website around Halloween.... no real reason i pick that time of year... it just seems like the right thing to do. Anyhow.... someone mentioned they heard about this and wanted to try it out but never knew how to start it. Sooooooo Kade & Andrea if you're listening, here it goes!

::::::::::Pink Floyd's Tribute to the Wizard of Oz::::::::::::

A number of eerie coincidences can be found when Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" CD is synched with The Wizard of Oz.

The coincidence eeirily begins when the album says, "... Look around ..." which prompts Dorothy to look around. As the line "balanced on the biggest wave" from Breathe is uttered, Dorothy teeters on the rail of the pig-sty. She then breaks into a trot just as the line "No one told you when to run" from Time is heard. The chimes in Time go off at the appearance of Mrs Gulch (Wicked Witch of the West) on the bicycle and the chimes stop when she gets off the bike. "I've got a bike. You can ride it if you like. It's got a basket, a bell that rings and things to make it look good ...*
*... Home, home again ..." as Professor Marvel tells Dorothy that she needs to go back home.
The coincidences go on throughout the movie. To experience it:

Turn the sound of the film all the way down, and turn the sound of the CD up as high as you can stand. It will probably take you a few tries to get the sync lined up just right so be patient. First load the Dark Side of the Moon CD into your CD player and hit PLAY (>) and then immediately hit PAUSE (II) so it is cued up and ready to roll. Be sure also to set your CD player for continuous replay. In most CD players this is done by hitting the "REPEAT" button twice. Hitting it once will usually repeat only the presently playing track so hit the button two (2) times and it will replay the CD over and over. The CD will play roughly two and a quarter times through the entire length of the movie.

Now start the video and fast forward past all the preview junk (about five minutes worth on the THX version) at the beginning and watch for the THX Digital logo to pop up. Now get the tape to the very beginning where the BLACK & WHITE MGM lion roars. After the BLACK &WHITE MGM Lion roars for the THIRD (3rd) time IMMEDIATELY hit the play button on the CD player.

Enjoy Pink Floyd's Tribute to the Wizard of OZ.
