Dark Side of The Rainbow

Also known as Dark Side of Oz or or The Wizard of Floyd – refers to the pairing of the 1973 Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon with the visual portion of The Wizard of Oz.

This produces moments where the film and the album appear to correspond with each other.

Pink Floyd band members have repeatedly insisted that “Dark Side of the Rainbow” – and the synchronicity between the album “Dark Side of the Moon” and the movie “The WIzard Of Oz” is coincidence. ‘

David Gilmour’s opinion on the matter:

“Some guy with too much time on his hands had this idea of combining Wizard of Oz with Dark Side of the Moon”

Personally- I think Pink Floyd may have had something to do with said “coincidence”. Every song lines up perfectly with the theme of the scene it corresponds with. All you have to do it grab a CD player, pop in the movie– and on the lions third “roar”- press play.

You be the judge.

+Brain Damage lyrics below+

The lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.
The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon.

The lunatic is in my head.
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me ’til I’m sane.
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon.
