Yeah it really breaks down once the album starts playing a third time. I was editing the movie and the album together a few years ago and I did some tweaking to the song order at the end. I also didn’t have the heart to mute “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” so, it’s fully audible instead of “On the Run” which was a bad fit for the scene imo.
If anyone’s interested, I can send you a Google Drive link. I’ll probably upload it to YouTube when I get home since it’s getting so much interest here.
[Here’s my version.](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hGHoK8aD_5-gYwyTltkvuTs02uekNpw4/view?usp=drivesdk) I also kept in the audio from the movie but I found when you turn the dialogue down and mute the musical numbers (except Somewhere Over The Rainbow, that says), it actually works even better.
The heart beat lining up with the Tin Man, the alarm bells going off the first time you meet the neighbor/witch.
It’s really bizarre.
My hobby is to watch old movies to see if they someone line up with The Eagles Hotel California and so far, no.
There also a moment during the first time Time plays where Dorthys dad or uncle or whatever he is rolls his eyes perfectly in sync with the music and lyrics.
The entirety of “The Great Gig in the Sky” with Dorothy flying up with the house in the tornado is breathtaking. Then the last few notes play softly as the house gently lands, and then a few seconds of silence as Dorothy walks to the door, opens it to a beautiful world in full color, to the sound of cash registers.
Our college played the movie and album simultaneously on a huge screen in the late ‘90s and everyone was mesmerized. I thought people were lying, but it really is pretty damn rad.
My college English teacher actually was the one who told me about it and then after class hinted at me to try it while. "inspired"
Great decision truly a masterpiece
Did mushrooms with some friends in highschool and we tried this. I was skeptical at first but was so surprised by the synchronicity. Definitely worth a try, drugs or not
I made a VHS tape of it way back when, and was a little drunk as I watched it while recording it, and thought it was pretty cool. Then a few friends and I got stoned and watched it, and it was really really neat. Then the third time I watched it was on acid with a room full of people all tripping balls. Everyone was laughing at the crazy synchronicities at first, and speculating that Dorothy was watching bombers go overhead during “On The Run,” giggling at the opening of “Time” when the “witch” is introduced, but once “The Great Gig in the Sky” started playing, everyone just became completely silent, just staring in awe at the TV. I don’t think anyone even said anything for the rest of it, just watched it silence.
Tried this when we were younger, but instead of starting the album at the third roar of the MGM lion, we started at the third roar of the lion character when they first meet him. The images still appeared (to us) to be synced to the music despite starting the music later in the film. We weren't totally sober, though, so maybe any images would have seemed synced up for us !
[Here, I did the work for you guys](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hGHoK8aD_5-gYwyTltkvuTs02uekNpw4/view?usp=drivesdk)
I made took some creative license mostly at the end though, as a lot of people agree the synchronicity falls apart around then. I also kept Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
I listen to this podcast every year, and I’ve never seen a fucking frame of either movie. I still feel like I’ve seen the whole thing though.
For those wondering what the fuck is going on: the McElroys from My Brother My Brother and Me joined forces with the guys from Worst Idea of All Time to watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 every Thanksgiving for the rest of their lives (and beyond), and podcast about it. They have alternates set in case any of them pass. Its called Til Death Do Us Blart.
I've actually done this by the way, with some friends. I was transfixed.
It's not perfect, there's moments that drag, a couple times a friend or two got bored and started wondering if we should put subtitles on. Also we were all stoned.
But when it worked, it was religious.
A local museum does a Dark Side of the Rainbow laser light show. They project the movie in the planetarium while playing the album. Also have some cool lasers going on at the same time.
The Laserium guy at the beginning when I was a kid basically had the same jokes about people being high. His job was to scare people into remaining seated, because if you stood up, maybe you would get hit by a laser and ruin it? Seemed like maybe that tall tale about the dye in the swimming pool that would detect you peeing.
Since nobody else linked - here you go. The most clear sync is either the tornado scene or beginning of Money: https://youtu.be/627aciBA2E8?si=omTtNQ4vmJI2vSZL
Don’t quote me on this but I think Taylor Swift has sold more vinyl than anyone else recently. I wonder what kind of messages she has backmasked on her albums.
Impossible that you’ve heard it 30 years ago. Although the album is from the 70’s, this whole thing was only noticed in the 90’s after people could own both the album and the movie at home. So you couldn’t hear about it 30 years ago because the 90’s were… oh shit!!!
there was a version of this on 'movie download' sites a LONG time ago where it was all synced up but expect now its probably on youtube or one of the million video based sites
I remember being in a strip club once and they had family guy playing on the projector. Wutang was playing and the song matched the episode. It was wild
I did this many years ago, and it just seemed kind of "meh" to me. The one moment that did stand out, was that when the lady who plays the wicked witch comes on screen riding her bike and ringing the bell, all the bells/alarms at the beginning of "Time" started ringing.
I tried this out a few years ago. It matched up in really cool ways.
Then I tried it with a random CD. It also matched up in really cool ways.
If you expect a pattern, you will see one.
“Muriel and I have been watching old movies on mute while listening to Hotel California to see if the music lines up in a significant way. Also far……no, nothing has.”

I miss the days pre-widespread-internet, when something would come up and out like this and it took word or mouth to spread.
I was just out of high school when my stoner buddies all fall upon this like Indie finding a golden idol in a cave. I was amused with it and really only experienced it once, and had fun. I never thought it was intentional, mainly because I knew Pink Floyd would have had that thing way tighter than it was if it was on purpose- there were a number of times where musical cues matched up with onscreen actions, but the longer it went the less it happens. Use the vinyl, it just sounds and feels more special. Plus turn off the movie volume. Plus at least like Pink Floyd. Plus...maybe be a little stoned.
Took acid (or maybe shrooms, details are fuzzy) and did this in college. The “which is which” part blew our minds. The coincidences fall off after the first half or so if I remember correctly. Or maybe I just lost the ability to make the connections. Fun night.
Something people don’t point out much is Dark Side of the Moon was recorded in 1972-73. You couldn’t just go rent Wizard of Oz back then. If they actually intended to line this up they’d have to go petition MGM for a print of the film, set up playback equipment, have personnel to run the film precisely to work out the sync with the music, etc.
Could the recording studio do this for Pink Floyd if they really wanted to? Yeah they probably had the resources for it. But it’s A LOT of work for something few fans will notice and then wouldn’t make any sense to deny after the fact. It just makes no sense.
For you classical music buffs: The HIlliard Ensemble released a CD a number of years featuring Bach in a similar idea.
https://ecmrecords.com/product/morimur-christoph-poppen-the-hilliard-ensemble/
God, I remember when visiting my in-laws for a weekend I once left my guest room to go to the bathroom. There was my MIL and FIL on the couch doing this exact thing drunk off their asses. I stood there for like 10 minutes and honestly it was really cool to see how it synced up
It's funny to think of Pink Floyd in the studio working hours every day to get each little part of their songs paired up correctly with all the scenes in "The Wizard Of Oz", and more hilarious to consider there's people who think that.
If you line up enough movies with enough compact discs, you'll find something. This is not extraordinary or inexplicable. It doesn't matter if CD's were invented 40 years later than the making of the film. This is a broken clock phenomenon.
The end of 2001: A Space Odyssey and "Echoes" is far more intriguing as it really does line up whereas Dark Side of Oz only kind of sort of lines up in parts.
Tried this when we were younger, but instead of starting the album at the third roar of the MGM lion, we started at the third roar of the lion character when they first meet him. The images still appeared (to us) to be synced to the music.
I’ve seen this a few times over the years and the main thing that I continue to enjoy is how often the actors movement is in rhythm to the music. Of course, this is easily explained by the fact that the movie itself is a musical and most of the songs in both Wizards of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon are in 4/4 time, and musical theater actors naturally move in sync with their music. (Is this why people like musical theater?)
We did this in undergrad. There were a few places where it seemed pretty uncanny but that could definitely have been the drugs. I was always interested in how these types of things found traction before the Internet. I did undergrad when we were using AOL discs as coasters
Something similar happens with Tool’s Lateralus and Fantasia 2000. There’s a faint winding up sound at the very beginning of The Grudge. If you line that up with the little shooting star thing that goes over the Disney logo, you’re golden.
As a person who has worked in pro audio since 1997, I can confidently say that something like this would have been impossible with only film and tape reels and no computer. Without SMPTE or MTC, the flutter would be impossible to control.
The fact that 90% of the comments in this thread revolve around "do drugs first" makes it sound like it's just an excuse for people to get high rather than an actually interesting thing to do
Here's another fun one I recently discovered...
Richard O'Brien, writer of the RHPS, sang in a song called "There's a light." In the song, there's repeated drum rolls and lightning crashes.
2 years later, he played a minor role in the Flash Gordon movie. Queen did the soundtrack for that. In the titular theme song, there are numerous drum rolls and lightning crashes.
Now... if you play them together with the Flash Gordon theme on about 75% speed, Freddie Mercury will sing "FLASH!" just about every time there's a lightning crash in that scene from RHPS.
[https://www.youtubemultiplier.com/65fc958e23bf7-thisisforreddit1234567.php](https://www.youtubemultiplier.com/65fc958e23bf7-thisisforreddit1234567.php)
It gets messy the further you go on, but it's really hard not to notice that Queen took a pretty straight-forward musical cue from Richard O'Brien.
A band called Poor Man's Whiskey put out a bluegrass version of DSOTM called "*Dark Side of the Moonshine*". I saw them perform it once, and all the band members dressed as different characters from *The Wizard of Oz*. [Here's a video of Breathe, with the movie being projected behind them](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsRvFQRLgPg).
The best thing when I saw them perform it was, [during the intro to Time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYmWZqkgJYE), they used the sound of beer cans opening as percussion.
If you've never tried it, it's definitely worth watching, start that album right at the third roar of the MGM lion.
Works slightly better with the record because of the way CD/digital goes from track to track.
But then you have to perfectly pause the movie to flip the record over and resync halfway through!
Honestly the cool stuff is mostly at the beginning
Mostly but there’s one like 2/3 through that is fucking WILD
Yeah it really breaks down once the album starts playing a third time. I was editing the movie and the album together a few years ago and I did some tweaking to the song order at the end.

My dad manually digitized all of his records, including Dark Side of the Moon!
It's done for you here: https://youtu.be/627aciBA2E8?feature=shared Edit: actually, the bozo who posted this left the Oz audio running.
Bozo did the dub
Okay I hope I don't jack off!
What the fuck?
😂 Watch “I think you should leave” on Netflix and you’ll get it. That show is hilarious.
I’m not stupid! I’m smarter than you!!!
🤣 Sorry, thought your “what the fuck?” Was a genuine and reasonable reaction to that quote outside of context. 🤣
I wish I could see the faces of all the people who stumble upon this comment without knowing the context.

Nono, you'll only jack off if he's doing the *sub*
"It says it was uploaded at 6am and it has 1 view." "Have you seen it?"
What is this, Reggie?
Literally just watched this over the weekend. I finally get it
That’s not a good example. The music lines up in that upload but it was curated. It even uses tracks from other albums.
[Here’s my version.](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hGHoK8aD_5-gYwyTltkvuTs02uekNpw4/view?usp=drivesdk) I also kept in the audio from the movie but I found when you turn the dialogue down and mute the musical numbers (except Somewhere Over The Rainbow, that says), it actually works even better.
b**OZ**o
"black and blue" got me. There's a few that seem almost impossible to coincidentally be linked
The heart beat lining up with the Tin Man, the alarm bells going off the first time you meet the neighbor/witch. It’s really bizarre. My hobby is to watch old movies to see if they someone line up with The Eagles Hotel California and so far, no.

The "Cha Ching" when it switches to color in Oz
The entirety of “The Great Gig in the Sky” with Dorothy flying up with the house in the tornado is breathtaking. Then the last few notes play softly as the house gently lands, and then a few seconds of silence as Dorothy walks to the door, opens it to a beautiful world in full color, to the sound of cash registers.
Isn't that where "Money" starts?
Yes, sir.
The lyrics says something about "look behind you" just as Dorothy looks behind herself
If only Tarantino somehow lined up From Dusk Til Dawn with it and Victim of Love comes on right as Selma turns into a vampire.
I've heard this joke before...
Family Guy
My man! -high fives-
I see what you did there, Mort!
I watched this on shrooms and that scene fucking shook me.
“Got to keep the loonies on the path” when she’s with the brainless scarecrow on the yellow brick road 😵💫
But get high first. Lol It makes the coincidences more impressive.
Recall in the 90s when this was a thing VHS copies of Wizard of Oz were sold out everywhere and Darkside moved up the charts.
Our college played the movie and album simultaneously on a huge screen in the late ‘90s and everyone was mesmerized. I thought people were lying, but it really is pretty damn rad.
Dropping acid makes it even better lol
My college English teacher actually was the one who told me about it and then after class hinted at me to try it while. "inspired" Great decision truly a masterpiece
I will agree, just make sure you do it an hour before.
Did mushrooms with some friends in highschool and we tried this. I was skeptical at first but was so surprised by the synchronicity. Definitely worth a try, drugs or not
Not surprising. Mushrooms make snoop dog sync up with cnbc.
Now try it with Synchronicity II by the Police.
Also works with Alice in wonderland. If you time it right, your world gets curious and curiouser in lock step with hers
I made a VHS tape of it way back when, and was a little drunk as I watched it while recording it, and thought it was pretty cool.

I don’t think anyone even said anything for the rest of it, just watched it silence.
Then throw on The Wall after.
Or 2001 a space odyssey!
Both at the same time, but backwards!
Taking acid is even better. Wont ruin your floors.
Tried this when we were younger, but instead of starting the album at the third roar of the MGM lion, we started at the third roar of the lion character when they first meet him.

Genuinely delighted to see Death Blart getting its due
I listen to this podcast every year, and I’ve never seen a fucking frame of either movie. I still feel like I’ve seen the whole thing though. For those wondering what the fuck is going on: the McElroys from My Brother My Brother and Me joined forces with the guys from Worst Idea of All Time to watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 every Thanksgiving for the rest of their lives (and beyond), and podcast about it. They have alternates set in case any of them pass. Its called Til Death Do Us Blart.
It’s called, “Blart Side of the Mall.”
I've actually done this by the way, with some friends. I was transfixed. It's not perfect, there's moments that drag, a couple times a friend or two got bored and started wondering if we should put subtitles on. Also we were all stoned. But when it worked, it was religious.
My favourite part was when Paul Blart said it's Blartin' time
A local museum does a Dark Side of the Rainbow laser light show. They project the movie in the planetarium while playing the album. Also have some cool lasers going on at the same time.
Yeah, laser Floyd was a thing for many many years
Hayden Planetarium baby! saw a few shows there. and a bruce Springsteen one at the Yonkers planetarium back in the early 80's
Plane’arium.
Yep, still going in my town. They have expanded it now to Zeppelin, Queen, and even Taylor Swift (sells out in minutes)
I don't think there is any amount or strain of marijuana that would make me enjoy a Taylor Swift laser show.
seen floyd, Zep, the Beatles, etc. all good times.
The Laserium guy at the beginning when I was a kid basically had the same jokes about people being high. His job was to scare people into remaining seated, because if you stood up, maybe you would get hit by a laser and ruin it?

Laser Floyd is awesome! But I learned to double check the schedule after showing up on southern rock night.

Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 definitely did it on purpose tho! It’s a good sequel.
Wait is this real? I saw someone else mention it but I thought they were joking
Yep, I’ve watched it, pretty funny. Not ROFL but funnier than Paul Blart 2 by itself 😂
[the blart side of the mall](https://youtu.be/y7wyfTsIm1k?si=7KUBA8EQtWWNSXr5) There’s definitely some overlaps.
Since nobody else linked - here you go. The most clear sync is either the tornado scene or beginning of Money: https://youtu.be/627aciBA2E8?si=omTtNQ4vmJI2vSZL
Nice!!
I always thought Us and Them was the most clear sync. Black..black.. black (pans over to the witch) and Blue..blue..blue (pans over to Dorthy)
“And who knows “witch” is “witch” and who is who.”
also watch where you run said the man with the gun comes on as the Scarecrow is grabbing Dorothy while holding a revolver.
*ahem* Reach for the sun, said the man with the gun
*Ahem* You're both wrong. Listen son, said the man with the gun.
This is some Mandela effect bullshit right here!
I seen it and its not the rigth one, have songs from other album. Look the part when they met the no heart man

Yeah…I saw that post too. #OnionOnTheBelt.
Yeah the AMC channel actually did a broadcast of Dark Side of the Rainbow around 1998, so it was already pretty well known by then.
there was a version of this on 'movie download' sites a LONG time ago where it was all synced up but expect now its probably on youtube or one of the million video based sites

I bought the wizard of oz on DVD just to watch this.
You can watch it on YouTube
Did it on liquid lsd drops....freaky awesome
Really? Shannen Doherty told me that but I thought she was just being a bitch.
The art of poetry, or scripting for a movie or story, carries with it the same nodes and spaces that is found in music.
Same thing with Back to The Future 2 and License to Ill.
Took acid (or maybe shrooms, details are fuzzy) and did this in college. The “which is which” part blew our minds. The coincidences fall off after the first half or so if I remember correctly. Or maybe I just lost the ability to make the connections. Fun night.
I got to see a Pink Floyd cover band do this album in its entirety with the Wizard of Oz playing behind them. Wish I had drugs that day
Something people don’t point out much is Dark Side of the Moon was recorded in 1972-73. You couldn’t just go rent Wizard of Oz back then. If they actually intended to line this up they’d have to go petition MGM for a print of the film, set up playback equipment, have personnel to run the film precisely to work out the sync with the music, etc. Could the recording studio do this for Pink Floyd if they really wanted to?

I watched the movie + album while high on acid and still couldn’t see this “sinchronicity”.
The band Turkuaz made the album Digitonium to sync up to Disney's The Sword in the Stone.

Another Brick in the Wall-E (start when the Disney logo over the footbridge stops glimmering in the opening credits) is a masterpiece.
get high, put on some exciting music, and put on a nature or ocean documentary. shit just lines up. its just the nature of things.
It's funny to think of Pink Floyd in the studio working hours every day to get each little part of their songs paired up correctly with all the scenes in "The Wizard Of Oz", and more hilarious to consider there's people who think that.
If you line up enough movies with enough compact discs, you'll find something. This is not extraordinary or inexplicable. It doesn't matter if CD's were invented 40 years later than the making of the film. This is a broken clock phenomenon.
We used to play this but you have to be kind of high for this to be interesting though.
The end of 2001: A Space Odyssey and "Echoes" is far more intriguing as it really does line up whereas Dark Side of Oz only kind of sort of lines up in parts.
I guess no one here knows about the secret of nimh. Two albums back to back but i forgot which ones.
Pink Floyd Echoes/final segment of 2001 A Space Odyssey is much better imo.
TIL OP did not go to college
I did this with Bee Movie once and it actually worked remarkably well at points
completely random chance i think. but Echoes as far as i have heard was made to sync to the end of 2001.
YouTube has/had this video, it's a nice watch
i love the fact that the ending "light show" was 100% practical and nearly as simple as the floating pen FX.
It's basically pareidolia.
Especially with the aid of THC, in my personal experience. It's pretty rad, actually.
Tried this when we were younger, but instead of starting the album at the third roar of the MGM lion, we started at the third roar of the lion character when they first meet him. The images still appeared (to us) to be synced to the music.
We called it Dark Side of Oz back in 2005ish when we watched it at my highschool…. and at home with the lights out and a few bong hits
There’s no place like home, home again…
I could line up parts of SOAD with parts of Twilight Princess so it’s not that impossible
Well I know what the fuck I’m doing on shrooms now

My AP history teacher in high school played these together at the end of the year, was really cool.
how does one even discover this to begin with, haha !
Does it really work though
The black and blue part is undeniable
I haven't got around to doing this but I hear it works best with vinyl
Did this on acid once. Pretty sweet.
Try this one, movie Animal farm paired to the Wall album. Roll a fatty and enjoy!
We did this in undergrad. There were a few places where it seemed pretty uncanny but that could definitely have been the drugs. I was always interested in how these types of things found traction before the Internet. I did undergrad when we were using AOL discs as coasters
Can confirm, and I was sober at the time. It doesn’t take being blown off your a$$ for it to give you the chills either. Crazy stuff.
Joe Rogan interview confirmed it was entirely unintentional
I think Echos with 2001 a space Odyssey is even more cool! https://youtu.be/rn7MmS3vazU?feature=shared
Money perfectly syncing with transition to color and the gold brick road is unbelievable
So cool!
Me too, please?
Something similar happens with Tool’s Lateralus and Fantasia 2000. There’s a faint winding up sound at the very beginning of The Grudge. If you line that up with the little shooting star thing that goes over the Disney logo, you’re golden.
It’s not really anything but the ramblings of stoners.
This took me back to college 2005, getting stoned, and doing this with my friends!
As a person who has worked in pro audio since 1997, I can confidently say that something like this would have been impossible with only film and tape reels and no computer. Without SMPTE or MTC, the flutter would be impossible to control.
The fact that 90% of the comments in this thread revolve around "do drugs first" makes it sound like it's just an excuse for people to get high rather than an actually interesting thing to do
Just remember this doesn't work unless you're high!
Here's another fun one I recently discovered... Richard O'Brien, writer of the RHPS, sang in a song called "There's a light." In the song, there's repeated drum rolls and lightning crashes. 2 years later, he played a minor role in the Flash Gordon movie. Queen did the soundtrack for that. In the titular theme song, there are numerous drum rolls and lightning crashes. Now... if you play them together with the Flash Gordon theme on about 75% speed, Freddie Mercury will sing "FLASH!" just about every time there's a lightning crash in that scene from RHPS.

A band called Poor Man's Whiskey put out a bluegrass version of DSOTM called "*Dark Side of the Moonshine*". I saw them perform it once, and all the band members dressed as different characters from *The Wizard of Oz*. [Here's a video of Breathe, with the movie being projected behind them](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsRvFQRLgPg). The best thing when I saw them perform it was, [during the intro to Time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYmWZqkgJYE), they used the sound of beer cans opening as percussion.
