What if Dorothy's trip was actually a psychedelic breakdown? Start the album on the third roar.
The movie The Wizard of Oz (1939) with the soundtrack replaced by Pink Floyd's album The Dark Side of the Moon (1973); several uncanny moments of synchronisation and a generally darker tone than the original film. Aired on TCM.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pink Floyd has denied intentional sync; the phenomenon was first documented on a 1995 Usenet thread that went viral before 'viral' meant anything. The band reportedly found it amusing.
This accidental mashup basically invented the 'dark side sync' internet rabbit hole — without it, we might not have conspiracy theories about every album and movie pairing.
