What does the album "The Dark Side of the Moon" have to do with the movie "The Wizard of Oz"

Question

I was told that they coincide in some way if they are started together, does anyone know any other details, where to start it etc?

Answer 1

Turn the sound of the film all the way down, and turn the sound of the album 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 to continuous replay. This in most CD players 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.

The credits begin to roll, and the ambient noise that opens the album begins. You know the synchronicity will work if the music kicks in just as Produced by Mervyn Leroy pops up.

Answer 3

It is Dark Side of the Moon, Not "The Wall". You start the album after the third roar of the MGM lion. The best part to me is when "Great Gig in the Sky" comes on, and it totally syncs up with Dorothy being carried away in the house in the tornado.

Answer 4

Apparently the songs coincide with what is going on in the movie. I know you're supposed to start the CD when the last roar of MGM lion takes place at the opening credits.

Try it out.

Answer 5

All of the above answers are correct but they left out one small but important detail...you need to start the CD on the 3rd Lions roar at the opening of the movie.

I see now since I have posted this somebody else thinks it's the second roar. Hmmm. Figure it out for us then give some points dang it.

Answer 6

it's not the wall like freak says, she needs another fall out boy cd and shut up. its dark side of the moon and some web sites like lime wire have the movie and cd hooked up together, and it only lasts till the album is over.Make sure you get some good drugs and watch it. Freak said the wall, but you have to be tore up to watch thatagain with good drugs

Answer 7

Here's how it's done...
Cue the CD (have it on pause, ready to play)
Start the DVD...
When the MGM lion roars the 2nd time, start playing the CD...
A really cool part is when Dorothy's balancing on the fence in the pig pen, and the lyrics are "...Balanced on the biggest wave... Race towards an early grave..." and she falls in...

Answer 8

yes you have to start the cd when the MGM lion roars the second time before the start of the movie. Google this. It will give you alot of answers and things to look for.

Answer 9

The album is "The Wall" and if you start the album and the movie at the same time they look like they were made to go together.

Answer 10

You can sync the movie up with the album, and then turn off the sound on the moive, and the album will play along with the movie.
