When playing the “Dark Side of the Moon” album along with the 1939 classic movie “The Wizard of Oz”, the changes in the movie’s plot seem to coincide with changes in the music. Is it pure coincidence, the mind playing tricks, or a carefully planned orchestration by Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters himself?

When deejay George Taylor Morris at WZLX-FM in Boston first mentioned the phenomenon on the air back in 1997, he touched off a mystery that continues today.

“The phones just blew off the wall. It started on a Friday, and that first weekend you couldn’t get a copy of ‘The Wizard of Oz‘ anywhere in Boston,” he said. “People were staying home to check it out.” It’s fun, he said, because everyone is familiar with the classic movie, and the album, which spent over eleven years on the Billboard charts, can be found in almost every person’s music collection.

Does Dark Side of the Moon sync with The Wizard of Oz?

In 1997, Helen Kennedy wrote an article for the Daily News about the “synchronicity” between “The Wizard of Oz” and “Dark Side of the Moon”. She observes, “The lyrics and music join in cosmic sync with the action, forming dozens upon dozens of startling coincidences–the kind that make you go ‘Oh wow, man’ even if you haven’t been near a bong in 20 years.” Some call this synchronicity the Dark Side of the Rainbow.

Here are some examples of the synchronicity from Kennedy’s article:

• During “Breathe,” Dorothy teeters along a fence to the lyric: “balanced on the biggest wave.” She falls off the fence to the lyric “You race towards an early grave.”
• The Wicked Witch, in human form, first appears on her bike at the same moment a burst of alarm bells sounds in the intro to the song “Time”.
• During “Time,” Dorothy breaks into a trot as David Gilmour sings: “no one told you when to run.” When Dorothy leaves the fortuneteller to return to the farm, the album is playing: “home, home again” during “Breathe Reprise”.
• During the tornado scene, the singing in “Great Gig in the Sky” seems to ebb and flow in perfect time with the action in the “Wizard of Oz” movie. It almost seems as if the movie could have been a good music video for the song.
• When Dorothy opens the door into Oz the movie switches from black and white to color. At that exact moment side two of “Dark Side of the Moon” starts with the tinkling cash register sound effects from “Money.” This means the first side of the album is the exact length of the black and white portion of the movie.
• As Gilmour sings “Don’t give me that do goody goody bull —t” during “Money”, Glinda, the Good Witch of the North appears in her bubble in front of Dorothy and Toto. Amazingly, throughout the scene the Munchkins seem to march in perfect time with the rhythm of “Money”.
• During “Us and Them”, the Good Witch confronts the Wicked Witch as the band sings, “And who knows which is which” (or is that “witch is witch”?).
• Besides the obvious lyrical coincidences, there are other oddities. Songs end when scenes switch, and even the Munchkins’ dancing is perfectly choreographed to the song “Us and Them.”
• The song “Brain Damage” starts about the same time as the Scarecrow launches into “If I Only Had a Brain.”
• The lyrics “the lunatic is on the grass” is heard just as the Scarecrow begins his dance near a green lawn. The line “got to keep the loonies on the path” comes just before Dorothy and the Scarecrow start their journey down the Yellow Brick Road.”
• To top it off, as the heartbeat fades at the end of “Dark Side of the Moon” Dorothy has her ear to the chest of the tin man, trying to find a heartbeat.

Then there’s the fact that the album cover has a prism (rainbow) on it matching up with Judy Garland’s famous “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” song.

Despite the apparent synchronicity, Pink Floyd band members have always denied any connection between the album and the movie.

Comment below and let us know what you think? Was it a plot by Roger Waters and his Pink Floyd band mates, or do the people who discovered this have too much time on their hands? Is there really a Dark Side of the Rainbow?
