Has anyone done that yet?
http://www.everwonder.com/david/wizardofoz/
I will tomarrow night but uh...check out the similarities
Similarities (they are long so don't hurt yourself)
The first indicator that everything is going right is that the change from "Speak to Me" to "Breathe" coincides exactly with appearance of the name of producer Mervyn LeRoy. Note: Notice in the prologue that the word "Time" is written with a capital letter even though it isn't starting a sentence. Also you will find the word "Heart" capitalized in the middle of a sentence -- which is a sound particular to "The Dark Side of the Moon".
"Leave, but don't leave me ...", Auntie Em appears to say "... Leave ..." to Dorothy.
Right after the words "... Look around ...", Dorothy looks around.
"... Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry ..." Two men above (Cowardly Lion and Tin Woodsman) are smiling and the man below (Scarecrow) is crying.
"... All you touch ...", Dorothy touches the man (Cowardly Lion) holding a bucket on his arm.
Note: "All you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be" could be construed as being attributed to Dorothy who's life will only really be all she touches and all she sees in her little Kansas home because Oz
exists only in her pretty little head.
"... When at last the work is done ..." , the man (Scarecrow) hits his finger with the hammer (to the beat of the drum no less) and is done with his work.
"... Balanced on the biggest wave ..." , Dorothy is balancing herself on the fence.
"... Race towards an early grave." , is said at the moment just before Dorothy falls off the fence rail.
Note: "... Race towards an early grave ..." Perhaps a reference to Judy Garland's untimely death?
Note: (£) Judy Garland died in 1969, the same year we put a man on the moon ... "I'll see you on the Dark Side of the Moon ..."
(#) Song shifts from "Breathe" to "On the Run" at the same time (actually just slightly before) Dorothy
falls off the fence.
Note: (%) At the moment Dorothy falls off the fence rail and the switch to "On the Run" occurs, the music in that song has an allure of danger as it matches to the mood of the scene and emotion of the other characters
as they are concerned with Dorothy's well being (although Dorothy sees it as a big joke ) but it matches the scene very well.
Auntie Em shows up and starts talking exactly at the same time as the woman's voice begins talking
during "On the Run". I wonder what kind of cookies she has on that plate? "I've got a clan of ginger-bread man. Here a man, there a man, lot's of ginger bread, man. Take a couple of you wish. They're on the dish ..." (Syd Barrett with
Pink Floyd from "Bike")
(#) During the "On the Run" sequence as Dorothy is singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", the effects sound like helicopters and airplanes are flying overhead (sort of) & Dorothy's gaze seems to follow one across the screen.
Note : "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", Well, we all know what is found on the infamous cover of DSOTM ...
a rainbow! Also there are a few little rhythm synchs during this piece such as Toto wagging his tail in time to the clicking sound effect and Dorothy pulling her head towards Toto's during another sound effect. And then the sort of roar at the end of the song which goes along with the ky scene strangely enough.
The chimes in "Time" go off at the appearance of Mrs Gulch (the Wicked Witch of the west) on the bicycle and the chimes stop when she gets off the bike. >>>> "I've got a bike. You can ride it if you like. It's got a basket, a bell that rings and things to make it look good ..." (Syd Barrett with Pink Floyd from "Bike")
At the first bass chord of "Time" the scene changes to inside Auntie Em's house -- really cool -- and this is where it all begins getting very interesting.
(#) Dorothy and the rest of the cast appear to move and react to the rhythm and mood in particular of the
music.
"... You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way ...", Seems to describe the kind of frittered away life that the old maid /witch, Mrs Gulch has if getting rid of poor little Toto is what makes her day.
"Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town", This is said just a little before Toto jumps out of the basket and onto the ground where he kicks off to go back to Dorothy in his hometown. So it's not exact but worth the mention.
"... Waiting for someone or something to show you the way ..." , Toto pops up in the window (perhaps to show Dorothy the way?).
(*#) "... Tired of lying in the sunshine ...", as Toto is lying on the bed with the sun shining in on him fuzzly little body.
"... You are young and life is long ..." a reference to Dorothy's youth?
"... and there is time to kill today", There certainly is time ti kill and Dorothy will be present at the death of two people.
"... Ten years have got behind you ...", You see Dorothy's back. (You are behind Dorothy).
"... No one told you when to run ...", Dorothy is running away from home but no one told her to.
Guitar solo in "Time" begins as scene changes.
During the guitar solo of "Time" the words "Past, Present and Future" are seen on the sign of Professor Marvel.
(%) "And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking; Racing around to come up behind you again!" First think about this: "Time is a predator which stalks us all our lives." --Star Trek: Generations) . . . Now take a look above the door mantle as Dorothy enters Professor Marvel's wagon. What do we see but a skull . . . a reminder of time indeed. Kinda funky eh?
"... But you're older ..." , referring to Professor Marvel's old age?
"... Or half a page of scribbled lines ..." , referring to perhaps the photo that Professor Marvel sneaks out of Dorothy's basket? Ok so it's not scribbled lines, but it's a page.
"... Hanging on in quiet desperation ..." , as Dorothy quietly and desperately listens to the words of Professor Marvel.
"... Home, home again ..." , as Professor Marvel tells Dorothy that she needs to go back home.
(§) "... Hear the softly spoken magic spell ..." , As Dorothy is leaving the "magic" wagon of Professor Marvel.
Song changes to "The Great Gig In the Sky" the moment Dorothy reaches down and grabs her bag.
(voice says) "... And I am not frightened of dying ..." as the tornado heads towards a house.
The drums kick in as a tree is uprooted by the winds of the tornado.
Note : Right after the tree is uprooted, the singer begins her operatic style wailing which keeps time with the mood and intensity of the tornado scene. Nifty rhythm synchs are seen during this piece.
After Dorothy gets bonked on the head with the window the singer calms down and Dorothy begins
dreaming.
Note: The song playing during the entire tornado scene and especially while the house is up in the air via the tornado is "The Great Gig in the Sky".
The "cha-ching !" of "Money" is heard as Dorothy steps out into colourful Muchkin Land.
Note : "Money" would be associated with colour and better living as is apparent to Dorothy.
(*£) Note : The Wizard of Oz was the first full length colour film released in the U.S. and maybe in the world for that matter. Of course this movie did make a lot of Money as well.
( * ) "Don't give me that do-goody-good bull@#%*.", as Glinda the (do-goody) good witch (?!) comes a-floating like an angel in her big bubble.
"... I think I need a Lear Jet ..." as Glinda appears from the bubble. Maybe she'd prefer a jet over traveling in a bubble? "Big Bubbles . . . No Troubles." (Hubba-Bubba® Bubblegum)
Note : (¥) The way Glinda is holding her wand it looks like she's playing electric air guitar during Dave's solo. (Just for a second ... sort of)
During the beginning of "Us and Them" it sounds like funeral parlour music and the Munchkin Coroner shows the Certificate of Death.
Note : (‡) A little before the Munchkin Coroner comes up some officials come out of one of the buildings and are talking back and forth about their new arrival and in the background you can hear a man say "... I was really drunk at the time ..." which could be a reference to the drunken and carousing little people who played the Munhkins. Then you can hear a woman say "... He was cruisin' for a bruisin'..." which according to rumor Judy Garland said the little actors got drunk and at leat one tried to hit on her. So the latter voice could be considered as Dorothy sayng that particular Munchkin was "Cruisin' for a bruisin' ".
During "Us and Them" the ballerinas from the Lullabye League enter to "Us ... Us .... Us ...".
Note: (*¥) Just think about this for a sec ; "Us, and them . . . And after all we're only ordinary men. Me, and you . . . God only knows it's not what we would choose to do." Could this be construed as a message from the Munchkins? Perhaps the dwarf actors playing the roles of the munchkins prefer NOT being exploited for their stature by the folks at MGM i.e. it's not the kind of thing they would prefer to do. After all they are only ordinary men. Well, not really ordinary now are they?
(±)"Forward he cried ..." It looks like the munchkins all shout forward to Dorothy to urge her onward!
(*‡) "... and the lines on the map moved from side to side ...", as the munchkins move to two separate sides at the appearance of the Wicked Witch.
"Black and blue ..." as it shows the witch who is wearing black , and "blue" when it shows Dorothy who is wearing blue.
"... And who knows which is which ..." (Witch is Witch ... or ... Which is Witch)?
"... up, up , up and Down ..." as the dead wicked witch's feet go down under Dorothy's house.
(%) "Haven't you heard? It's a battle of words ..." , as Glinda is whispering in Dorothy's ear and then returns to her battle of words with the wicked witch.
"... And in the end it's only round and round...", As Glinda points to Dorothy's feet which are now turning 'round. Then it says "... and round ..." as there is yet another shot of the ruby slippers.
"Down, down, down, and out, out, out ..." as Glinda leaves in her bubble (she's out of here).
($) "... But there's a lot of it about ..." Coincidently Dorothy in the real soundtrack is talking about how people just come and go around here. There certainly seems to be a lot of it about.
(*§)"... Get out of the way, it's a busy day, I've got things on my mind ...", as Dorothy passes through the Munhkins and leaves Munckin Land.
Scene changes at the same time that "Us and Them" changes to "Any Colour You Like"
"... The lunatic is on the grass ...", The Scarecrow isn't on the grass but he is made of grass and he is certainly dancing around like a lunatic.
( * ) Note: The song Brain Damage is playing as the Scarecrow is singing If I Only Had a Brain.
Note: Check out these lyrics from "The Scarecrow" by Syd Barrett with The Pink Floyd on their album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, " The black and green scarecrow as everyone knows, Stood with a bird on his hat and straw everywhere. He didn't care. He stood in a field where barley grows. His head did no thinking, His arms didn't move except when the wind cut up rough and mice ran around on the ground. He stood in a field where barley grows." Notice what colour Scarecrow is in the movie?
(ç) "... Got to keep the loonies on the path ...", Dorothy and Scarecrow are the "loonies" on the Yellow Brick Road (path).
(¤)"... There's someone in my head but it's not me ...", The Appletrees have someone in their heads who make them move around and look alive.
Dorothy listens for a heartbeat (or lack of one) in the Tin Woodsman's chest as the heartbeat goes on to the end of the album.
Note : When the CD starts back with the heartbeat, the Tin Woodsman is singing "If I Only Had a Heart"
Second Play-Through of CD
"...and high you fly ..." , referring to the wicked witch standing on top of the house with her flying broom.
"... Run, rabbit , run ..." as the witch throws a fireball at Scarecrow.
During this second playthrough of "On the Run" it works out pretty well with the Cowardly Lion scene in several instances which lose something in the translation so you will have to see them for yourself.
Side Note: If you have a slower return response on your CD player, during the scene where Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Woodsman and Cowardly Lion are walk/skipping to the Wizard, they do so to the drum score at the beginning of "Time" . . . really cool!
(§) "... Home, home again ..." , As Tin Woodsman is once at home in being frozen in his rusted state from the snow just as he was when Dorothy found him in the first place.
(*$) "Far away across the field ...", As The Fearless Foursome are in a poppy field and can see the
Emerald City across it.
"...Calls the faithful to their knees ..." as Scarecrow falls to his knee upon exiting the poppy field.
(§) "Black and blue ...", The Wizard is seen in the midst of the smoke and in this instance the smoke appears blue. I dunno, maybe it's just power of suggestion.
"Cha - ching !" , when the message SURRENDER DOROTHY is seen in the sky written in the Wicked Witch's smoke.
"... And there is time to kill today ..." as the Wicked Witch seeks to kill Dorothy
"... round and round ..." as we read the sign pointing to the home of the Wicked Witch that says "If I
were you I'd turn back". Maybe they should turn 'round (?).
( ** ) "Listen son, said the man with the gun ...", Scarecrow is carrying a gun.
"... Down, down, down and out, out, out ..." the flying monkeys swoop down to capture Dorothy, and then
fly out of the woods with her in their hands.
"... With, with, with ... without, without, without ..." , Dorothy is with the flying monkeys, but Tin
Woodsman, Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow are without Dorothy. . . And who'll deny she's what the fighting's all
about?
"... You raise the blade ... You make the change..." . As the blade of the Lance is raised by Scarecrow,
Lion and Tin Woodsman after they have changed into the uniforms of the three unlucky witch's guardsmen.
"... All that you hate and all you mistrust ...", During which the face of the wicked witch is seen.
Certainly a mistrustful face if ever there was one.
(*§) "... And everyone you fight ...", as Tin Woodsman drops the chandelier on the Guardsmen.
Third Play-Through of CD
(voice says) ..."Live for today, gone tomorrow ..." , as the Wizard hands Tin Woodsman his clockwork heart, and then we hear a strange noise that sounds like a rusted metal hinge. Perhaps a prophetic utterance of Tin Woodsman's ultimate demise?
Note:(£) During this "rewards" scene when Cowardly Lion receives his badge of courage, it sounds like helicopters and war planes flying about. (sort of)
"... Home, home again ..." after Dorothy has awakened back in her home in Kansas.
(~) "... Calls the faithful to their knees ..." , as Auntie Em comes to Dorothy with water and is on bent
knee.
Conclusion
Anyway...do you think pf did this on purpose, or just a really really cool coincidence? |

Fuck, I neither have the cd or the movie, even though I adore Wizard of Oz. But just as soady said:
He must have alot of spare time. Too much, really. |

We like releasing albums, but our main goal is to play live.
We started out as a live band, we didn't expect to be huge.
We just wanted to play music and have fun.
