Dark Side of the Wizard of Oz
---------------------------------------------------------

OK, I’d been reading and hearing about this thing for several decades now, but never actually tried it out myself to see if there was any veracity to it or if it was just simply the psychotic musings of some stoned out, LSD flashback, post-60’s hippy who happened to turn the sound off on their TV watching “Wizard of Oz” while listening to Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon”.

Apparently the theory goes that if one starts viewing “Wizard of Oz” at the same time as starting “Dark Side of the Moon”, they seem to be in sync with each other … DSOTM providing a dynamic ’soundtrack’ to the visual action in WOZ ………

Well, some schmuck actually synchronized them on audio/video and uploaded the series to YouTube :)

So now we get our answer … view at your own peril …. /laughs


Dark Side of the Oz - part one

Dark Side of the Oz - part two

Dark Side of the Oz - part three

Dark Side of the Oz - part four

Dark Side of the Oz - part five

Dark Side of the Oz - part six

Dark Side of the Oz - part seven


I found some of these mostly amusing, especially starting at the 3rd clip, when Dorothy is running away from the approaching tornado, and at the 6th clip when Dorothy is at the yellow brick crossroads and meets the scarecrow ... It really does seem to be synchronized somewhat :)

If anything, ya get to hear the magnificent Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety, as well as viewing the first half of an equally magnificent Wizard of Oz movie … what could be better than that?

Enjoy,
MM
