I& #39;m growing to love the front porch, but I don& #39;t love watching movies on baby screens

So enjoy with me clips from the (probably) accidental masterpiece of The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd& #39;s Dark Side of the Moon album

It& #39;s not even the frequent lyrical, percussive, or even song-transition coincidences that make the original also the best: it& #39;s something in the way the music (probably accidentally) follows the tone of the visuals in the modern mythic touchstone

I can& #39;t help but connect the terror that Dorothy Gale is feeling onto Clare Torry& #39;s emotional vocals...

So I can& #39;t help but wonder of The Great Gig in the Sky wasn& #39;t — somehow — meant to be a spiritual sidekick or a secondary soundtrack

chills, as The Dark Side of the Rainbow transcends

I remember watching this the first time, wondering if Almira Gulch& #39;s transformation into the Wicked Witch would seemingly sync

And then I remember being a little creeped out, because wow

Pink Floyd& #39;s THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY

"or, The Rise and Fall of the House of Uncle Henry"

IT& #39;S THE "MONEY" SHOT!!! (tbh thinking that joke was what made me decide to do this thread lol)

But listen to how excitedly my June bug buddy buzzes when that "CHA-CHING" hits!

I don& #39;t care who you are; THIS IS DOPE
