91) "black...and blue" - Notice that the smoke around the Wizard is blue as "blue" is sung on the CD. Also notice the way the music matches how the Cowardly Lion jumps up and runs out.

101) "all that you taste" - The door slams in the faces of all 4 characters.(wonder how that door "tastes"?)

109) Notice that everytime a character gets what he wanted from the Wizard a different noise is heard. When the Scarecrow gets his diploma the music changes. When the Cowardly Lion gets his medal of courage, airplanes are heard. When the Tinman gets his heart a weird sounding noise is heard and it looks as if the Tinman hears it, too.(also notice the very faint heart heard in the backround of the music).
110) The chiming bells represent the cheering crowd surrounding the balloon. Also notice how the Wizard swings his hat and cane... sometimes it matches the bells heard.
111) The sounds heard before the song "Time" that represented the way Dorothy and the Wicked Witch moved earlier now represent the way the Wizard moves..notice as he points to the Scarecrow you hear the noise, when he points to the Tinman you hear the noise, and when he points to the Cowardly Lion you hear it as well.. and when Dorothy steps out of the basket you here it again.
112) Notice the moment the Good Witch lands on the ground the music kicks in.

114) "racing around to come up behind you again" - As this is sung the Good Witch comes up from behind Dorothy...(notice that this is the third time this lyric has represented somebody coming up from behind somebody..the 1st being when the fortune teller was behind Dorothy, the 2nd being when the Scarecrow had to race up behind the Cowardly Lion so he wouldn't fall, and this one being the third).
115) "home, home again" - Dorothy is definetly "home again". The movie ends right as "The Great Gig In The Sky" kicks in.
Well, that's the end of the list. You're probably wondering what happens when the movie ends...absolutly nothing. The music changes when the Wizard of Oz logo dissapears (on the 60th anniversary edition only), but nothing big. We hope you found this list to be informative, and we hope it makes you decide to stop reading about this connection and try it out for yourself.
Some say that this synch is just a very big coincidence, but we strongly disagree. How do you explain the part when "you raise the blade, you make the change" is sung as the Tinman raises a blade and is changed into the soldiers uniform, and all the other lyrical synchs? Some members of Pink Floyd have no comment to the question when it has been brought up and others have said that there was no connection intended to the movie while recording the album. There is speculation that Roger Waters (the lead songwriter at that time) planned and constructed the synch behind the other members backs. Nobody really knows the truth about what went down, but we do know that the wondering and debates on the subject add more interest to the connection. It dosen't matter if it was done on purpose or if it's just a coincidence,because it's still entertaining.
As for who first found the synch, it still remains a mystery to us. All we know is that that it was floating around the internet until news broke on TV and in newspapers back in 1997.
