We talked slightly about listening to the "Dark Side of the Moon" Album by Pink Floyd while watching the Wizard of Oz. This phenomenon has garnered so much attention that it has been dubbed by some as "Dark Side of the Rainbow". Although, at times the coincidence is astounding, the notion that Pink Floyd composed this album to match up with the Wizard of Oz is ridiculous. However, as wikipedia states (so it must be true), fans of the phenomenon have accrued over 100 instances in which there appears to be a synchronization of the two texts. On wikipedia also the phenomenon is stated as a cultural reference point with many references made to the effect. The fact that it does seem to "fit" at times is fairly interesting however. The power of coincidence in our world is astounding and often overlooked. The website also claims that Pink Floyd's later album "The Wall" syncs up with the Disney version of "Alice in Wonderland". This leaves us with one question... what do these people do with their lives?
