Transported to a surrealistic landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets, then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again. Can you guess the movie? Here's another, more pertinent clue: it's a 1939 film with a soundtrack by Pink Floyd. That's right, it's The Wizard of Oz.
Now, some of you may be wondering about the reference to Pink Floyd. Well, a number of years ago, there was a theory floating about that Roger Waters had edited Dark Side of the Moon so that it would align with "The Wizard of Oz". Proof cited included the fact that, if started at the right time, the words "Who knows which is which" coincided with two witches talking, and as soon as the film turns to colour, the sound of cash registers start up. The effectiveness of this is probably dependent on what substances are affecting your brain functions at the time, but the existence and persistence of this theory is nonetheless instructive.
In short, this album has become a landmark work, like The Wizard of Oz itself. There are many remarkable things about this album; for instance, its unprecedented run in the Billboard charts, spurred partly by its status among audiophiles as the album to test expensive sound equipment on. Even the cover is instantly recognisable in a way that few other album covers are. The splitting of light through a refracting prism is probably even better known than the cover to Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band.

I've heard its a coincidence by some trustworthy sources.
It's funny I saw this question though, because not only a week ago I heard about the relation between Pink Floyd and The Wizard of Oz. (And I watched it two days ago, its AMAZING!)

"Otherwise the one time while it kind of feels jynked is while..." No, there are a number of aspects in which the tune and the film are in sync. There is a movie that mixes the 2 known as "Dark Side of the Rainbow". I'm now not fairly definite in which you'll be able to get it, you will be ready to do an web seek an discover it. It's beautiful neat.

It's not really in sync with the movie... certain things match up to the song at the right time. Definitely coincidence. You could probably play any album with the Wizard of Oz and get the same results! :)

I think it's all an accident.
I've never watched Oz while listening to Floyd, but I've read a lot about it over the years.
Someday we'll eventually sit down and watch it.
I understand the Scarecrow flopping around in the grass syncs up with "The Lunatics are on the grass"

It's a coincidence. Actually, it's a psychological phenomenon in which the human brain will attempt to combine uncoordinated audio and visual information into a meaningful whole. You can repeat the experiment with just about any cd and movie.

It's just a coincidence. The power of psychological suggestion working at it's fullest extent.
Sometimes we humans just love to make associations and see connections were there aren't any. It's just the way our mind works.
The result is still amazing.

It's a coincidence. The original Fantasia is the same way with "Dark Side..."

Coincidence I'd say. But have you tried it? It really does seem similar. It's neat.
