Whats this I hear about a connection between The Movie and the classic Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon?
There seems to be one, if you look for it. Nobody seems to know how this phenomenon was discovered, but if you start Dark Side of the Moon on Leo’s third roar at the very start of The Movie, you can observe some unusual coincidences. Sometimes the action in the album matches the action on the screen, sometimes the characters seem to be lip synching or dancing to the music, and sometimes other odd things happen, such as the cash register for “Money” starting up just as The Movie changes to color. Since Dark Side of the Moon is shorter than The Movie, people have tried a variety of ways to extend the effect, either by repeating Dark Side or by putting on another Pink Floyd album. Others have even tried starting the album at different points in The Movie, or changing the order of the tracks around. All seem to have found some success.
