How does all of this connect with The Dark Side Of The Moon?


    Money, get away
    Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
    Money, it's a gas
    Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
    New car, caviar, four star daydream
    Think I'll buy me a football team

    Money, get back
    I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack
    Money, it's a hit
    Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
    I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
    And I think I need a Lear jet

    Money, it's a crime
    Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
    Money, so they say
    Is the root of all evil today
    But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
    Giving none away, away, away


Give a listen to “Dub Side of the Moon” by Easy Star All-Stars. Brilliant!


Clearly the album was written while watching the movie. Music was carefully timed to sync with a 32 year old movie. The movie ran on network television in the US only once per year back then. Maybe in Great Britain it was aired more often? Otherwise they wouldn’t be able to practice very often.


Watch Wizard of Oz with the sound off. Just as the MGM lion finishes roaring, drop the needle[1] onto the Dark Side of the Moon LP, and watch as the songs sync up to the imagery.

Or, you know, YouTube[0].

I always thought it was amazing how Judy Garland was able to orchestrate the whole film to synch up with that album.

I was neither agreeing or disagreeing with the concept, merely pointing out how it's done. Also even as a life long Floyd fan, I have never done it.
