Whats next, brownie recipies (with the magic ingredient of course!) and advice on how to play your Pink Floyd albums backwards to hear the words of God ;D
Ever done that thing with Dark Side of the Moon where it syncs with about a third of The Wizard of Oz? You start the music at the third lions roar of the MGM logo bit. The fantasitic soprano solo (Great Gig in the Sky) in the album syncs with Dorothy's hose blowing around in the tornado. When Dorothy and her companions go to sleep in a poppy field amid snowfall you start to wonder exactly where the movie makers were coming from...
The Dark Side of the Rainbow is a well known phenomenon:

Good question. Someone with a lot of time on their hands. :-\
From Wiki:
Although the Dark Side of the Rainbow effect has become famous, its origin is murky. In 1994, fans of Pink Floyd discussed the phenomenon on the Usenet message board alt.music.pink-floyd. At that point, knowledge of who first thought of combining the two works, and why, was already lost.
Pink Floyd band members have repeatedly insisted that the reputed phenomenon is coincidence. In an interview for the 25th anniversary of the album, guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour denied that the album was intentionally written to be synchronized with Oz, saying "Some guy with too much time on his hands had this idea with combining Wizard of Oz with Dark Side of the Moon."[7]
On an MTV special about Pink Floyd in 2002, the band dismissed any relationship between the album and the movie, saying that there were no means of reproducing the film in the studio at the time they recorded the album.
On March 3, 2006 at the Canadian Music Week conference in Toronto, Alan Parsons, the album's recording engineer, told an audience during a question-and-answer session that there had been no effort to integrate the album with the film.
A report presumably intended to be humorous states that in the 1930s MGM owned a time machine for employees to use. Allegedly one employee travelled to the future and brought back a copy of the album and the movie was intentionally made to match the album and not the other way around. (The inventor of this report was almost certainly aware of the works of Douglas Adams).
