DSOTM Wizard Of Oz Connection
If you have yet to try this I would highly reccomend it. It would also help to alter your head a little bit...if you know what I mean.
Setup
You may start the album during the first roar, second roar, third roar, or as the lion fades to black, but the things listed below are based on starting the album on the third roar.
Support For This Theory
"Speak To Me"
1) As the opening credits are showing and the camera pans through the clouds you will hear helicopter sounds giving you the feeling of flying. The cash register sounds heard represent the money spent on the cast and crew. You will know if you have the "synch" lined up right if the change from "Speak to Me" to "Breathe" occurs as the credit for producer "Mervyn Leroy" appears on the screen. You will also know if your synch is accurate if Dorothy appears running down the trail at approxiametly 1:46 on the CD. The first coincidence you will notice is a triangle hanging from a tree that resembles the triangle on the cover of "Darkside Of The Moon".
"Breathe"
2) "leave, but don't leave me" - As Dorothy chats with Auntie Em, the lyric happens just as Auntie Em motions to Dorothy that she is busy, causing Dorothy to turn around and walk away from her.
3) "look around" - Dorothy tuns her head and looks back at Auntie Em.
4) "choose your own ground" - Notice the man sitting on the ground, and how the wagon falls to the beat.
5) "all you touch and all you see" - Dorothy touches the man and the man looks at Dorothy.
6) "dig that hole" - The man points to the ground as if he where telling Dorothy to "dig that hole".
7) "the work is done" - The man hits his hand with the hammer as the word "done" is sung. If the word "done" does not hit exactly when the man hits his hand, then you have timed the synch wrong and should start over for the best results. It's difficult to find the exact starting point for the CD.
8) "balanced on the biggest wave" - Dorothy is balancing on the fence.
9) "race towards an early grave" - Dorothy loses her balance and falls off of the fence. At the exact moment she hits the ground the music's mood takes on a "panicy" effect. Also the lyric "race towards an early grave" could be a reference to Judy Garland's untimely death. She died in 1969, the same year a man was put on the moon- hence, the "Darkside Of The Moon".
"On The Run"
10) A faint female voice in the backround starts to jibber as soon as Autie Em starts talking, and fades out as she quits nagging.
11) In the next scene where Dorothy is singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", notice her look up at the sky as soon as the airplane sounds start on the CD. She also follows one with her eyes as it flies by on the CD.
"Time"
12) The chiming bells at the beginning of "Time" are heard as Ms. Gulch (the Wicked Witch)rides up on her bike and fade as she gets off.
13) In the next scene,there are too many things that happen to list them all. Just watch carefully as you notice almost every movement of the character's matches perfectly with the sounds heard. For example, notice the sound heard every time Dorothy turns to face somebody, and how the drums match the movements of Dorothy and Ms. Gulch. Watch Dorothy play the drums with her head(the way she nods it) and Ms. Gulch play them with her basket(when she hands it to Dorothy).
14) "kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown" - Toto jumps out of the basket and "kicks around on the ground" with his paws as he runs back to Dorothy.
15) "waiting for someone or something to show you the way" - Dorothy is "waiting" by the window for "someone" (Toto)to show her "the way".
16) "tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain" - This lyrics describes Dorothy's feelings of boredom and dissapointment at the time, so she decides to leave home.
17) "ten years have got behind you" - Notice the camera is behind Dorothy. Also, how the music changes with the scene.
18) Notice that the song playing is called "Time" and on the fortune teller's sign are the words "Past, Present, Future",which are the three phases of time.
19) While the song "Time" is still playing observe the skull above the fortune teller's door, possibly reminding us of how little "time" we have on Earth{?}.
20) Notice the music change as Dorothy leaves the fortune teller.
"The Great Gig In The Sky"
21) The next ten or so minutes could very possibly be the best part of the synch. Notice the beat kick in when the wind picks up. The music playing gives the scene a more exciting feel than the original sound could. The tornado gets a "lazy" look to it with the music. Notice the music get a "dreamy" feel to it after Dorothy gets hit with the window and lays on the bed. Notice the woman's sceaming voice pick up every time someone or something floats by the window. Dorothy waves to Autie Em as the woman on the CD says "hey, hey, hey", and the woman's voice starts to calm down as the house lands and Dorothy starts to calm down also.

Re: DSOTM Wizard Of Oz Connection
CONTINUED
------------------------------
"Money"
22) The cash register sounds start up as soon as you see Dorothy in color. The sounds represent the money spent on the Technicolor technology. Dorothy starts walking as the music to "Money" kicks in.
23) "think I'll buy me a football team" - As the camera pans through Munchkin Land, notice how the swirl in the Yellow Brick Road resembles the football helmet of the St. Louis Rams.
24) "money, get back" - Notice after this lyric is sung how the Munchkins "get back" into hiding.
25) "keep your hands off of my stack" - Dorothy drops Toto.
26) "don't give me that do-goody good bull****" - You see the Good Witch appear for the first time in her bubble.
27) "I'm in the high fidelity, first class traveling set" - This lyric is sung as you see the Good Witch "traveling" in her bubble, which is certinly "first class" if you're a witch. Also notice the sound heard as soon as she appears in human form.
28) - It appears that the Good Witch is playing bass with her wand(the way she moves her fingers up and down it).
30) - Notice one of the Munchkin's groove across the screen to the beat.
31) The Munchkins start to dance as the music's beat picks up. Also notice the way their dance matches perfectly with the rhythm.
32) - Notice the soldiers marching perfectly with the beat(mostly when they bring thier arms to thier chests).
"Us And Them"
33) - The music takes on a sad effect after the Munchkin pulls out the certificate of death.
34) "us and them" - "us" represents the ballerinas and "them" possibly represents the pieces of paper they pull out. The ballerinas dance perfectly to the beat.
35) "me and you" - "me" representss The Lollipop Guild and "you" possibly represents Dorothy when they point at her, although it dosen't occur right on cue. Also The Lollipop Guild dances perfectly to the beat.
36) "forward he cried" - This lyric is sung as Dorothy turns and faces forward. Also the Munckin's appear to be conducting the music.
37) "black" - This lyric is sung as you see the Wicked Witch for the first time.
38) "blue" - This lyric seems to represent Dorothy(she's wearing a blue dress) although the lyric dosen't hit right right on Dorothy's camera shot. We seem to think this is so due to a later occurance in the movie.
39) "and who knows which is which" - This lyric has two occurances of the word "which" at the same time you are seeing two "witches" on the screen. Perhaps they mean who knows "witch" is "witch?"
40) "down" - This lyric is sung as the Wicked Witch's sister's legs are pulled "down" under the house.
41) "it's only round and round...and round" - Notice when "round and round" is sung Dorothy lifts her heels to show her ruby slippers, and does it again when the 3rd "round" is sung.
42) "haven't you heard" - The Good Witch bends down to whisper in Dorothy's ear.
43) (a) "it's a battle of words" - The two witches are clearly having a "battle of words"
43)(b) - ""listen son said the man with the gun" - The Wicked Witch appears to be making a gun shape with her hand as she points to Dorothy and the Good Witch.
44) "and out" - This lyric is sung as the Good Witch turns back into a bubble and leaves.
45) "It can't be helped, if there's a lot of it about" - This lyric is sung right before Dorothy is saying "My, people come and go so quickly"(read her lips).And there sure is a lot of coming and going about, isn't there?
46) "with" - Dorothy starts down the Yellow Brick Road.
47) - Notice Dorothy start to skip faster down the road just as the music picks up. Also the lyric "out of the way, it's a busy day, I've got things on my mind" is sung as Dorothy is skipping down the road, representing Dorothy's thought's. Maybe the lyric should have been written like this: "Out of her way, it's a busy day, she's got getting home on her mind"(??).
"Any Colour You Like"
48) Notice the music change from "Us and Them" to "Any Colour You Like" with the scene change.
49) The music takes another change just as Dorothy steps into the field where the Scarecrow is.
50) The drums match almost every fall the Scarecrow takes.
"Brain Damage"
51) The song "Brain Damage" starts up just as the Scarecrow begins to sing "If I Only Had a Brain".
52) Some people say that the wha-wha guitar sound has a connection to the way Dorothy and Scarecrow talk while sitting on the road. We haven't really noticed this ourselves, but figured we should add it to the list anyway. See if you can notice the connection.
53) Notice the music pick up as the Scarecrow sits up and leans toward Dorothy.
54) " I'll see you on the darkside of the moon" - Dorothy and the Scarecrow start to skip down the Yellow Brick Road. Also notice the drums, right after this lyric, match the way the Scarecrow trips perfectly.
55) Notice the talking tree play the symbols with his hand and the Scarecrow playing the drums by the way he waves his arms.
"Eclipse"
56) "all that you see" - This is sung just as Dorothy and the Scarecrow see the oil can.
57) "all that you taste" - This is sung right before the Tinman gets a "taste" of the oil.
58) Notice the heartbeat start up as Dorothy pounds on the Tinman's chest and puts her ear up to it as if she were hearing the heartbeat.

Re: DSOTM Wizard Of Oz Connection
I've watched this synched up many times...I used to dabble at home years ago with my vhs tape of the movie and my vinyl LP...Wow...I found that synching it up right after the lions 2nd roar works the best....
Some scenes are incredible...among them are the Tornado scene and also the munchkins dancing in 7/8 time....now, we all know those buggers were drunk at the time so that makes perfect sense!
It's a great experience-and the fact that this is a coincidence makes it even more amazing!

me too...the music is really so perfect-it creates an entirely different mood to the film...
I love the 'balanced on the biggest wave, you race towards an early grave' as Dorothy is balancing on the fence before she falls into the pig pen...little things like this make you just go 'wow'....
Of course, there are many people who will laugh at this...so, let's hear from you and get a good healthy debate going!!! lol

Re: DSOTM Wizard Of Oz Connection
The first I saw was on campus, during the intro to time. When they play the note to set the pace, Dorthoy turns from her father to 'Glenda?'(the witch), pleading for Toto. Really was something else. But the most striking of the moment for me, if the sync is done right, Dorthy skips when Nick hits the snare to set off GGITS!!

Yep, that's a good scene too!
I also like the part before Dorothy sings Somewhere Over the Rainbow and as she gazes up into the skies you can see her eyes move from left to right, just as the music soars from left to right channel-it's perfect!

Re: DSOTM Wizard Of Oz Connection
I've always found it an amazing sync-up, and thought if it was done on purpose it would be genius-but, if just a coincidence-then it makes it even more genius.
It works, no matter what-no matter if you believe or not - it's just incredible.
