We did a thread about this at the old R&R boards a few years ago. Back in the late 1980s Time magazine brought to light a bizarre quirk regarding the classic movie The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd's album 'Dark Side Of The Moon'. For some crazy reason, if you queue the Pink Floyd CD, start the DVD or VHS and at exactly the point where the MGM lion roars for the 3rd time hit 'Play' on the CD, then turn the DVD sound down completely and let the film roll while listening to the Pink Floyd, you will be absolutely blown away by the "coincidences". It really is difficult to figure how the two works could make such an incredibly snug fit, but they do! Dorothy seems to move to the music. When the storm approaches you hear thunder. The screeching of the bells in Time starts at the precise moment that the Wicked Witch first appears. The song Money starts at the moment Dorothy opens the door and sees the technicolor Land of Oz.
There's much, much more than these few examples. You can find complete listings of co-events by googling the key words 'wizard oz pink floyd', but if you have access to both of these discs I would urge you to do the experiment yourself first. It's much better when it all takes you by surprise.
